We just bought an 87 TC Parts Car
Sue & I drove to Flagstaff this morning to look at an 87 TC parts car. The Craigslist pics made it look like it was white, but it turned out to be light blue.
The under-hood pic looked like it may have overheated & sprayed antifreeze/ rusty water all over the engine compartment.
The rusty looking stuff turned out to be nothing more than red dust all over the top of the engine etc. I was able to turn the crank with no problem so it definitely isn't frozen.
The car was last registered in 2004 & has sat outdoors since then, with at least 5 1/2 years of those years parked in an outdoor storage unit, where it was auctioned last week for non-payment.
The story that I got was that before the divorce, the man screwed up this car, which was in her name, so she couldn't drive it anymore. As you can see below he was a real crowbar & heavy hammer mechanic.
I have determined that this car is probably beyond restoring, so I will be using various parts from it, but will have lots of good leftover parts to sell later.
