So bought this lower mileage turbo coupe and was going to molest it for parts but got the stink eye from some people (neighbor wife friends).I really just wanted the pieces but I guess I am keeping it for now.Or until I get bored and yank the motor and use it in a rail and put 5.0 in its place.As for the car 77k on the odometer auto trans has the grey and black leather interior in awesome shape zero rust .

Very nice! Welcome!
What did you give if you don't mind?
Travis
, I was wondering where that one went.
Nice! Glad you decided against chopping it up. All my parts cars had collision damage, so i didnt have to feel bad about pulling them apart. It would be a shame to s a good one.
nice car, welcome!
It went to woodburn
Welcome aboard....any more pics you can post up. :poke:
To much but it was somewhat reasonable and the cars we get here are rust free
Here are few more pics .And dont doubt I will do something stupid with this car it is to clean for me but what the hell it will be fun .Was looking for another commuter and bought this so now I am driving this and a 1993 7.3 turbo diesel.I know its bad to run the car into the ground trying my hardest not to.

Nice & clean. Welcome to the sight.
Great looking car. Excellent interior. When will it be up for sale?
Dear lord that thing is clean...how could you even think of chopping it up?!?!? :)
I just wanted the motor and the rest is well just that a 1987 turbo coupe . I have other hobbys I need to feed and this car was going to feed them I have a nice little two seater sand rail that needs a motor and why not a little turbo 4 banger not to mention fuel injected .
Everything is for sale at the right price. I know I paid to much but I always like this body style but man I need something that has a V8 and this 4 banger does not feel the void .My wife loves it but for me It needs another 4 cylinders
with a little work, that little 4cyl could be putting down 5.0 stangs ;)
Yeah but she is still missing 4 cylinders
i hear ya.. i threw away my 1st 2.3T for a smallblock.. but i decided to give my 2nd 1 a chance lol.. but with turbo and intercooler upgrades, you can gain quite a bit
Very clean car, it would be a shame to chop that one. Welcome to the site
I dont have to cut it up but it does need some horsepower. I feel more guilty modifying the car the way it sits .It is stock stock stock but I am chompin at the bit to start tweakin things and the #1 thing is that motor .But my wife is holding me back and wont let me touch it she is just in love with the car .If this freaks you out you should have saw the 1992 MARK VIII with 53k on it that I yanked the motor and drive train out of for my mustang .
The autos were detuned from the factory. You would be surprised how much of a difference a t-5, manual boost controller, K&N cone, and a 3 inch exhaust would make!
This would be a great place to start.

Yeah thats fine but thats not for me I dont even want to touch it the way it is .I been made to feel guilty by my friends and wife they say the car is to nice to touch .But For some reason I have no problem yankin the motor and trans and replacing it with something else a 4.6 would be a cool swap and would look real nice .But for now it is safe my wife would be pissed
This is where all the drivetrain out of the mark VIII went

c
doesn't bother me, i only like the fox birds/capris lol
As long as the doesnt die, why not do an engine swap. I agree with porkchopper, put the 2.3 in the rail and drop a 5.0 or 5.8 in. I've always wanted to put a 2.3 in a dragster.
Very nice bird! I'd hate to see it get stripped but it's yours to do what you please to it.
More pics of the Mustang!
If the car is under your wife's protection you might as well play with the 2.3 for a little while. You might just like it although a unique engine swap would be cool too.
I always thought a twin turboed 351 would look nice between the shock towers:D
at least it would be beefed up a bit before you put it in the sand rail lol
My little 4 has gone 12.75@112 weighing 3700# with me in it. Although not quite stock, minor mods will get them in the 13's. They are tough little engines. I have yet to kill any of mine other than head gaskets. I'm up to 4 tbirds/cougars now.
That is a beautiful car though. I can't believe how perfect that interior is! I would truly hate seeing it get a v8 stuffed in it, but then again I hate working on 5.0's
Bunch a babies lol. If it were me I'd be fighting off the urge to drop a coyote into it. If I ever get another Tbird that will be the plan. Nice car.
Thats a really nice TC. Put a boost controller and cone on the vam. Have some fun....until the A4LD dies....
Travis
Here are few more pics of the stang .As for the thunderbird always loved this body style in high school and I sold my commuter and saw this thunderbird for sale and like all my toys I had to have it but the problem is it is to nice to drive as a daily driver .I so wish it was a 5 speed this is just so gutless for me .

Well the link is messsed up
Sorry cant find another way to post that pic .But the 1992 lincoln mark VIII came with auto trans and I wanted to keep it a stick so I bought the car gutted and sold everything I could the pain in the ass is the lincolns 4.6 has the intake on the back side it would not clear the fire wall so I hade to find mustang unit .I the proceeded to buy a wrecked 1994 cobra for the t5 I was told it would bolt up WRONG and I had bought a new clevis pedal assy I got from mustang steves that i never got to use but I bought the kit he sells to use cobra brakes front and rear looks sweet . I bought a trans for 1998 mustang and hydraulic clutch assy and that was the key I so wanted to run the rear end out of the lincoln so bad but the time and energy plus I know my fabbing limitations I am a electrical guy not a huge fabber.But like everything I have owned I sold it to finance my hobby/addiction .The camaro is sold to was a sweet low mileage 76k 1987 iroc z28 I go thru cars like people go thru underwear. And I wont even start on my ATV bikes I have gone thru not to mention trucks
i have a buddy like that.. i found a way to stop him, though lol
Hey me too....
But I seem to own underwear that's probably older then half the people here. :D
Hehe....Porkchopper has car ADHD :)
