Brought home a new bird! 83 TC 5Spd, mint

It's an actual 83, small emblems and everything. Silver/grey cloth, 5Spd, 98K miles, prem sound, with PERFECT Marchal's and 2 sets of perfect covers. Riding on 10-holes (215 front, 255 back) and came with the original set of 8-holes on original wheels. It's complete down to the tray inside the console. Are y'all sitting down? $400 took it home. :D  :D  :D  :D  :hick: I am the greatest! Now if I can only convince the girlfriend that it was a good idea... :crazy:

That sounds to be one hell of a deal! So  I'll have to retort as chuck did. ! The only thing that I noticed is that you said it had the factory 8 hole wheels. In 83-84 they would have put the TRX wheels on it from the factory.those would be those 14.5 inch wheels that no one has tires for.

thats not the factory steering wheel is it? looks like a stang wheel

even if he sells his TC, gotta go get it from Washington...not DC, but Washington state
It's Gumby's fault.

Yep... it's a mustang wheel....

I have the same in my garage... :D
Anyway, the stang wheel is much more confortable and pleasant to drive with than the original one...

Nice find....
It look clean... But I still find you dont own enough T-bird...  :rolleyes:  :giggle:

Looking good but isn't that a Mustang steering wheel. In 83 shouldn't they have had a A-fram style wheel? ANy how I love your car and If I lived near you I would steal it! LOL! The 83086 bird's are the best!

Lostbrew, actually, yeah, 2 of them are for sale! (I own an 83, 2 87's, 3 88's, and an 88 Coug along with a 92 SHO). :hick:  Here's some pics of it cleaned up. I drove a 650 mile round trip without a single hiccup in the first 3 days of ownership. Today I cleaned it, andbought some floormats for it. Well, the fix-it list is done. :D Here's some pics.
