You are looking at an EXTREMELY clean 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. This is the last year of this body style and the last year of the turbo. In 1989 they changed the whole design and swapped the turbo charger for a supercharger...Hence the t-bird Super coupe! I have had this car for almost 4 years and love it to death. I listed this car for sale last summer but i decided to keep it.. Now my circumstances have changed and i have lost my garage space. It's been outside for almost a month and it's killing me. I'd rather sell to someone who appreciates this car like i do than to run outside and wipe the bird shit off of it every two hours. EXTERIOR: SUPER CLEAN LAZER STRAIGHT BODY WITH MIRROR FINNISH BLACK PAINT. NOT A DENT, DING OR SCRATCH .....THERE IS SLIGHT SUN FADING ON THE ROOF CLOSE TO THE REAR WINDOW BUT THE CAR IS SO SHINY IT'S HARD TO NOTICE. THE RED PINSTRIPE ON THE CAR IS BRIGHT AND STANDS OUT. I HAVE 17" BLACK POWDER COATED MUSTANG COBRA R RIMS WITH A CHROME LIP AND RED CALIPER COVERS TO ACCENT THE RD PINSTRIPE AND IT LOOKS REAL NICE. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 60 % TREAD ON THEM. I ALSO HAVE A 3 QUARTER BRA ON THE FRONT TO HIDE SOME OF THE ROAD CHIPS ON THE NOSE AND 1980'S STYLE G.T.S. TINTED HEAD LIGHT COVERS TO MACH THE TINTED WINDOWS. FINALLY I HAVE 2" CHROME TAILPIPE TIPS THAT EXTEND JUST PAST THE REAR BUMPER WHICH ALSO LOOKS A LIL MEAN! INTERIOR: DON'T ASK ME WHY FORD WOULD PUT A BLUE AND GREY TWO TONE INTERIOR WITH A BLACK AND RED EXTERIOR BUT THEY DID. THE INTERIOR IS SUPER NICE WITH TWO SMALL FLAWS. THE DASH IS CRACKED WICH I HAVE HID WITH A CUSTOM MADE DASH COVER AND A CIGARETTE BURN ON THE HEAD LINER FROM THE PREVIOUS KNUCKLEHEAD OWNER. AFTERMARKET RADIO AND CD PLAYER LOOKS AND SOUNDS NICE. ENGINE:ANYONE WHO KNOW'S THIS CAR, KNOWS THE MOTOR. THE 2.3 LITER TURBO IS THE SAME MOTOR THAT FORD PUT IN THE S.V.O. MUSTANG AND RUNS AWSOME. TURNS OVER EVERY TIME ,THIS CAR RUNS LIKE A TOP AND SHIFTS PERFECT! THE TURBO SPOOLS UP AND THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET.....ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS MOTOR ALSO KNOWS THAT THE TURBO ONLY ENGAGES WHEN YOU WANT IT TO AND IN 1987 THEY INTRODUCED THE INTERCOOLER WHICH MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FROM THE PREVIOUS MODLES. (YOU CAN GO THOUGH EVERY GEAR AND USE THE TURBO OR EVERY GEAR AND NOT USE IT) THE SUPERCHARGER (1989) WORKS ALL THE TIME WICH LEADS TO MORE FREQUENT FAILURE. I HAVE OVER $3,000.00 IN RECEIPTS FOR THE WORK I HAVE DONE. NEW:HEATER CORE, EVAPORATOR CORE AND ALL NEW A.C. LINES. EVERY SENSOR AND T-STAT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW DASH CLUSTER. BRAND NEW STOCK STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BACK, PLUGS, WIRES, HOSES, BELTS , RADIATOR , TIMING BELT, NEW HEADS, INTAKE ,BLOCK AND HEAD GASKET. THE SLIGHTLY BAD: THE DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DON'T WORK (ACTUATOR)? THERE IS A 3 INCH CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND A CIGARETTE BURN IN THE HEADLINER. THE ROOF HAS SLIGHT SUN FADING TOWARDS THE REAR WINDOW.. DESPITE THESE THINGS THIS CAR GETS A HUGE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION AND GETS A TROPHY FROM EVERY CAR SHOW AND CRUISE NITE I BROUGHT HER TO. ( PROB. BECAUSE IM ALWAYS THE ONLY TURBO COUPE AT THE SHOWS) HA!FOR THE SUPER SERIOUS, I WILL GO OUT AND TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES YOU REQUEST. WHY SPEND 10 OR 20 GRAND ON A CLASSIC WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET A NICE CLASSIC T-BIRD FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. OR GET THE CLASSIC INSURANCE FOR 150$ A YEAR AND USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER. ANYONE IN THE AREA IS ENCOURAGED TO COME TAKE A LOOK AND I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY TO SHIP. WILL DELIVER WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS FOR GAS AND TOLL REIMBURSEMENT. *****PLEASE NOTE ****** I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY IF I SELL THE CAR LOCALLY OR IF I GAIN STORAGE BACK. CONTACT ME ANYTIME WITH OFFERS. REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TRADES. THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING.
