Cool you're getting another one :D

I hope the paint is better in person than how it looks in the pics. In the pics it looks a bit dull/orange peeled.

Yup, I looked specifically for a white TC with automatic and black interior, to change over to a 5.0(could have lived with blue int)... Before this one, I had a medium red, black and a white '87 that was going to get the treatment... The other white TC had lower mileage and was in a bit better mechanical cond, but since the plan was to gut it anyway and this one had better paint plus near perfect interior, I sold the '87 and got my money back... Only had $1215 in this one vs $2100 for the '87(this was '97)...

I've owned nine other TCs after the above four, still have a bright red one...

I've had 5 cougars, 2 5.0's, 3 3.8's, two 87 5.0 birds, and a 80's something mustang vert with a 4 banger that I bought for $100 for the rims and tires to pass saftey.

I've only been driving for 5 years, and haven't spent more then $500 on any of them, not counting getting them on the road.

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 red TC was a late spring/early summer promotional color... Only produced for prob May/June '88 and are somewhat uncommon... Besides my white 5.0 TC, that's the one I till have, it's a basic, few option 5 speed car...
