1986 Thunderbird Elan 80,000 original Miles w/ Motorsport Crate 302 and 5 speed

I have lost my storage for my project again so I am posting it. History of car is my Grandmother bought it brand new in 1986, I have the original issued title and it is a one owner car. It is an elan loaded except a sunroof and v8. It was a 3.8 auto. The car has NEVER been in an accident. I did a V8 conversion putting in a motorsport crate motor from a donor car. It has aluminum heads. 24lb injectors, e cam, GT40 intake, cobra mass air and computer, bbk long tube headers. Motor has been powercoated and engine compartment was smoothed and painted 03 Mustang Sonic Blue. It has a Ram clutch, World class T5, adjustable quadrent & cable with firewall adjuster, custom motor mounts(will not break). It has 87 T/C driveshaft and 8.8 with rear disc. Also has CHP rear tubular control arms and new housing bushings. New KYB struts and shocks and brake pads. 4 Lug Cobra R replica wheels 17" but tires are pretty worn. Body work is pretty much complete just a few spots to make perfect ( but I am picky). I have three hoods for it ( stock, TC, Fiberglass cowl hood). I have a old FMS 3 piece rear spoiler for it. Also included is a 95% complete TC Black/Grey Leather interior as I was going to switch out the Red leather in it now which is just about perfect. I have many extra T-Bird parts which will go with the car if sold, everything is included. Car has fabbed H pipe and flowmasters but I have a brand new BBk longtube H pipe that will go with the car. I am sure I have missed alot of things with this car but any questions I would be happy to answer. I would love to see someone finish the car as I do not want to take it apart and sell the drivetrain ect. nothing is spliced as I used a 86 elan 5.0 wire harness and did the mass air converion to it. It was plug and play from there. Car runs awesome pulls like a freight train. I have driven it about 100 miles since the conversion to differant storage areas. Get ahold of me and i will answer all your questions. Thanks Brad. 815-871-seven six five three. car is in Rockford, IL.

I could offer $2,000....only 2 reasons.  1) thats all I've got, and 2) the hideous red interior.

86Sonicbird, you could always bring the car to my place and store it. I'd still like to get that cowl hood from ya but things keep getting in the way. Might be able to use boss's p/u & trailer if need be. let me know.
