My new (to me) 87 Turbo Coupe October 06, 2011, 04:05:55 AM Hi t-bird and cougar fans. I'm new to this forum and recently bought a turbo coupe. One helluva deal, $1500. It's a 5-speed that has been bored 20 over with a roller cam and garret turbo. Let me know what you think. BTW this is a fantastic forum and it has given me many ideas. Thanks guys, Clint Quote Selected

My new (to me) 87 Turbo Coupe Reply #3 – October 06, 2011, 06:45:28 AM Nice looking car. Was it red from the factory? It appears to have painted again at some point, but looks great. You don't see too many red Turbo Coupes. Quote Selected
My new (to me) 87 Turbo Coupe Reply #4 – October 06, 2011, 08:33:49 AM Yeah Vinnie. It was red from the factory, same color as in the engine bay... It was painted about 3 months ago as I was told from the previous owner. I just picked it up about 3 weeks ago. I can't remember what type of red it was, but whoever did it did a great job. The interior is also red, which I hate. I would love to find some gray and black leather seats and redo the whole interior to match. Thanks a lot guys for the comments, I've been wanting to get one of these since my mother had the 3.8L LX when I was 15, now 24. Awesome car. The guy I got it from also told me he did a 11.9s 1/4 with a water to air intercooler, but I don't know exactly how true that is. He didn't seem too much like a b.s'er. I do know that it's fast as hell running 20 psi. I would really like to paint it a midnight metallic blue type when funds become available. Thanks a lot for the compliments.. all your cars look freaking awesome. Quote Selected
