is this a tc?

Car has clear signal lights. I don't see anything that screams tc, but it looks like it has a tach and buttstuffog speedo. This would be the first 4 eyed tc I've ever seen for sale locally, if so.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The fact that it has fog lights on it and the turbo coupe bumper. I would think  "yes"

Wish the pics were better. $1200 for a TC with 73,000 miles doesn't sound bad to me....Would need a 5spd swap though.

That is not only a TC but a very rare Auto/Floor shift car.  Very few made, and the first year the TC could be ordered that way.  I would love to see a Marti report on that car.

5spd is only a few $$$ away.

I noticed the dash right away, and didn't even notice the front end pic. Did the buttstuffog dashes read over 100k miles? I got a buddy that lives down that was i could probably talk into looking at it.
