1987 T-Bird LX

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Thunderbird-LX-/162134435718?forcerrptr=true&hash=item25bff72786:g:K-8AAOSwAPlXhTMt&item=162134435718

I'm not sure what is going on with this one. The VIN shows is as an 87 LX with the 5.0, but it has a TC exterior, TC back seat, pre-87 base front seats, 83-84 center console, and has the 87+ HO plaque on the engine.
Current: 1986 Thunderbird, 105k 3.8/C5, 2 tone  Midnight Wine/Medium Taupe, wing windows, wire wheel covers.


Former: 1985 Cougar GS 115k Oxford White/Regatta Blue, 5.0, full console, 14" 8 hole aluminum T-Bird rims, Edelbrock valve covers.

No turbo cope badge or hood, looks like the seats might have been grey and dyed blue or somethin, defiantly not correct though, most interestingly to me is the lack of cig lighter in the console.

Looks like someone swapped a front end on a base car, maybe did some interior swapping. I've never seen an cig lighter free console.

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.

No cig lighter because it had the consolette originally, someone did a  job of installing the full center console.

I don't really see a storage tray where the floor shift would go either. Maybe it's custom because they couldn't find parts.

Guy just put a bunch of junkyard parts on a car. That's why it's all mismatched ;)
