1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe For Sale Reply #15 – November 21, 2011, 04:49:24 PM Quote from: Blackout;373578Its still sitting here. I'm looking for a 92-96 Fullsize bronco without a lot of issues as a possible trade. Literally, I have had 1 serious inquiry..... if you want to call it that. Kids dad came by and told me he'd offer me 1500.... after not even really looking at it. :( No way in hell.Thanks Thunder Cat, I appreciate it. If he buys it, it will be well loved. I've known this guy a looong time. We met in kindergarden back in 1976! He is the one who introduced me to Thunderbirds. In high school he had a green 1977 Thunderbird with a 351C and a year out of high school had a black 1983 Turbocoupe which he later traded in for a 1990 Supercoupe. He mentioned this last weekend, after ogling my Cougar, how much he missed his old Turbocoupe but he'd like a 87-88 version so I've been watching this forum for him. Quote Selected

1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe For Sale Reply #24 – January 18, 2012, 01:37:32 PM Well the wife said I can make an offer, but only if we don't find anything else in our price range. Our price range will be determined by what we get for a tax refund. As for the valve job, think just a touch up with grinding compound or all new valves? Quote Selected
1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe For Sale Reply #25 – January 19, 2012, 07:18:44 PM Ive never actually had the head off, so i can't say for sure. 99.9% of the factory heads on these cars are cracked around the exhaust seat. Sometimes its not the crack that leaks, its just needing a compound and its good, sometimes they need seats installed. I know that having seats installed is pretty cheap for these heads. I doubt that there is a problem with the valves themselves. They honestly sealed enough to instal Boport springs with putting compressed air in the cylinders, so its not leaking a ton. It hasn't been driven regularly in almost 2 years now, but it still starts and drives fine. Its probably going to need a tuneup, minus the TFI and Dist which were new and have very little mileage on them. The idle was a bit unsteady last time I started it, but that may just be the cold combined with not really being driven a lot. If i get my asking price (now 2500 firm) I'll include a T/3-T/4 Hybrid turbo thats in great shape, 6 Snowflake whees, and any other parts i have laying around that I can find. Quote Selected
1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe For Sale Reply #26 – January 19, 2012, 11:06:51 PM My wife hates you for sweetening the deal lol. Actually she hates the thunderbird we already have(makes me question why I married her lol j/k). If I were willing to sell my current bird it'd be easy for me to throw you $2500, but selling this car is not gonna happen even if I wanted to lol. Quote Selected
