1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

For sale is my baby a beautiful Turbo Coupe. Car was originally from Virginia and spent some time with us in Florida. Has not been driven in bad weather. There is no rust anywhere on this car! It has beautiful black paint which is not perfect, but shines up really well. It has Mustang Cobra look wheels on it. They are in great condition. It has the powerful 2.3l 4 cylinder SVO engine that is port injected, Turbocharged and intercooled with a Stinger front mount intercooler. The Stinger intercooler does a superior job of lowering charge air temps which helps considerably with detonation. It has a 5 speed manual transmission with a snappy shifting Hurst shifter. The rear end is a Ford 8.8" with disc brakes, limited slip and quad shocks. The tires are fairly new Michelin Defender p225 60r 16 tires. probably less than 4000 miles on them. The car has a factory power sunroof that works great. The interior has custom seat upholstery, black with gray inserts. The carpet and headliner are in good condition. The car features Autometer volt, temp and oil pressure gagues mounted in the center stack. The car has automatic temp control hvac which works good. It also has power steering, antilock brakes, power windows, door locks, antenna, dual 8way power seats with adjustable lumbar and adjustable side bolsters. The stereo is the original Ford premium sound am/fm cassette with 6 speakers and the original amp. Still sounds great. I use a bluetooth adaptor to use my phone in the car. I just like the original look. The glass is in great shape with no cracks. The car starts and runs great with great power!! This car was never intended to be for sale. as a result, a ton of money was spent in the last 18 months. below is a non exhustive list of the new parts I have put on4 Michelin Defendersrear brakes with rotors and new nos calipersfront brakesnew fog lights with their own relayengine:Stinger front mount intercoolernew radiatornew injectorsnew o2 sensor and CTS sensor, Fuel pressure regulatorhard waterlines sanded and repaintedall new hosesall new beltstiming belt with new idler bearingnew Felpro 1083 head gasketCylinder head was professionally gone through with 3angle valve grind, new valve guides, new cam bearings, checked for straightness and cleaned and xrayed/pressure tested.new heater core (huge expensive pain in the ass to replace!!)new nos a/c evaporator (one of the last ford ones available anywhere!!!new Rt motor mount and transmission mount.new u joint in rearnew performance exhust down tube from turbo.new performance mufflers and chrome tips ( has a nice raspy sound)Im sure there is more that I am forgetting (or trying to forget at this point)Have always used Mobil 1 oil and syn. products wherever possible.have most reciepts for the car
This car runs good and is a riot to drive. It turns heads wherever it goes. The paint is not original. The prev owner painted it and did the custom interior work. It is not perfect and has areas that are scuffed courtesy of a local car wash.There are some things that do not work.Power mirrorsAnti lock currently does not work (power brakes do though)wipers take a bit of time to "park"needs a parking brake cable ( actually have the cable but haven't put it on)
I hate to think how much money I have into this car. We are moving overseas and all of the vehicles are for sale. I am heartbroken so dont try to lowball me on this car. It is hard enough
