trade my mustang for this?? *new pics 12-20*

I have a chance to trade my 1989 Mustang for this 1984 Convertible with a 2.3 Turbo Swap. Good looking swap too. I have looked at the car and driven it. Runs smooth and pretty quick. My first time driving a 2.3T. I like the car alot. He even went as far as swapping the dash, console, seats, and rear end. The TC was there on site and TOTALED! He got every usable part off of it as possible. Even swapped the steering column and got the TC scoops and molded them into the stock mustang hood.

Here it is, Let me know what you guys think!

Gee, almost everything I like about the TC wrapped in a 4-eyed mustang body? What are you waiting for.
88 TC 5speed, 168000+ miles, stock 2.3T long block, ported RFE6 exhaust, Evergreen T3 running 15#'s.
Up next: FMIC, fresh air intake, ported intakes, ported big valve head.

What are you waiting for.

That would be the ONLY Stang ragroof I'd ever own...get it, like yesterday!

Also, more pics...
And...the hell with anyone who says it's "Just a Mustang." :flip:

At least the guy didn't trash a decent TC just for the drivetrain. :bowdown:

What are ya lookin' for? Flakes? Turbines?

What size are the BBS wheels? Does the thing have the 11" front brakes? (assuming it does since the ad mentions abs...)

I have a set of snowflakes on my car right now, a little curb rash on a couple of them, have all caps. the front tires are pretty good, with 75% tread, the backs were just cheapies I bought somewhere just to move the car around on. Bad thing is, shipping would cost a fortune lol

 it, why can't I be close to all the good stuff :hick:

it's the price I pay for my isolation though...
