1985 Thuderbird Turbo Coupe

Ok I have decided to sell my car.
Ok this car is built: $6500 Firm ! Have over 20k in it.
 Its a 2.3L bored .030 over, engine rebuild has about 5000 miles on it. The head was ported and polished as were the upper and lower intakes.
 Esslinger timing pulleys, water pump overdrive pulley and crank underdrive pulley
 35lbs Injectors were flowed and matched, with the LA3 EEC IV conversion.
 Kirban adjustable Fuel pressure regulator with Stewart Warner electronic Fuel pressure gauge in dash
 Front mount Intercooler with a Forge Blow Off Valve.
 Ported E6 exhaust manifold
 Full 3" exhaust over the axle
 Custom T3/T4 Garrett turbocharger 20psi (just rebuilt)
 Hallman boost controller
 World Class T5 transmission rebuilt
 7.5 posi-rear with 3:45 's (I have an 8.8 with 3:73's I am getting ready to install)
 New Rack and pinion and power steering pump
 all new suspension with full poly Energy suspension kit, whole 9 yards
 CHE tubular lower control arms
Fully gauged.
 I can't even think what else I did, but basically I went through the entire car
 This is a quick car and rides like a brick, totally fun to drive.
 Oh and it was dyno'd at 201 rwhp 287 tq with a blown turbo. It is all tuned now and should hit at least 280 rwhp on the dyno. With a tuner this car could make over 300 rwhp.
 Brand new 16" Nexen front tires with rear Nitto Drag radials

Hey Thundr306, would not have mattered I have been in Ontario since last week. Anytime you would like to see it just let me know. It's going to be at my friends shop in Lansdale on his lot for sale. The old Watash Speed shop if you familiar with that.

I know exactly where it is. My first TC broke down not far from their shop and they fixed it. If I end up back that way, I will stop in.

Beautiful car, sadly with the condition of this economy an extra $6500 just isn't available right now.

GLWS!
...and there was light!

Yep, that about sums it up for me.  If I had the extra funds, she would already have had a new home.

Yeah, I understand the "funds" issue. I don't really need the cash, I need the space. I loved her for 10 years, the longest I have owned a car.
