Any NICE 85-88 TC's out there?

Might be looking to get back in the game. I have been through this a few times and don't want to start at the bottom again. Willing to pay for a nice car.

Here's a short list of requirements:
no rusted out cars
minimal, if any bodywork needed
no red interior
auto or manual(manual preferred)
consider rolling chassis
5.0/mod swaps welcome!
will travel from PA a considerable distance

Lets see whats out there, even if it's not one of yours.

Thanks
Jim

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I saw this on ebay and thought it looked pretty nice.  5spd 5.0


I also saw that. Decent, but not worth 17hr drive each way.

17 hrs, are you serious ?  I could drive it out for you.  Slight gas fee.
