Regrettably selling my 85 TC UPDATED

November 08, 2013, 09:29:18 PM

Hello everyone.
This breaks my heart but unfortunately I am forced to sell my 85 TC.The reason I have to let it go is because I have severe diabetic peripheral neuropathy which causes a lot of pain in my feet so I cannot press the clutch.Therefore I cannot drive it and do not want to let it sit around,and would rather it go to someone who will appreciate it.
I bought the car in 2007,was looking for this exact car,color combo,etc.and found it in Tennessee.After a lot of correspondence with the owner,we struck a deal.The best thing about the car was it was 100% RUST FREE.So my son and I took a bus down and drove the car back with no problems.
The car had some previous work done and I found it had some incorrect parts.So I did my research and through the help of some great people on NATO,TurboFord and FoxBody T-bird and Cougar forums,I slowly gathered the correct parts and put it back to where it is now.The car has too many new parts to list here.I’ve pretty much gone thru the whole car.It runs and drives great,gets great gas mileage,is reliable and a lot of fun to drive.Is it perfect? No. But it looks great,is straight as an arrow,and I would not be afraid to take it anywhere.
The only non-stock parts are a boost controller and a cd player.It’s currently registered and insured in Connecticut.I would be more than happy to discuss the car and answer any questions you may have.The only thing I ask is that you please be serious because this is painful for me to sell.
I’m going to post this ad on NATO,TurboFord and Fox T-bird and Cougar forums.Best way to contact me would be by e-mail.
I have the car insured for $5000. I would like to get as close to that as possible.I will work with a serious buyer.I also will include a lot of spare parts.
Thank you everyone.

UPDATE 11-14-13:
Hello all,it looks like I may be having surgery early next year.Although I keep the car in a garage and covered where I live,because the garage has no door,every December 1st to March 31st I have put it in secure inside dry storage.So under the cirspoogestances,I would like to have it sold before December 1st.With that in mind, I am willing to entertain any SERIOUS OFFER.But bear in mind I am not going to give it away.So please be realistic.I was hoping to sell it via these forums,because I know someone would appreciate it.But if I receive no offers in about a week,I will be advertising it on Craigslist where I am sure it would sell.Thanks,Joe
UPDATE 12-26-13- I ended up not selling the car.I was not going to let it go for a low-ball price.So it is now in storage.We'll see what 2014 brings,I may decide to re-post it for sale in April,maybe keep it, we'll see. Anyways thank you all and have a great new year.
