I'm planning on buyin a 88 t0bird turbo coupe for the motor and tranny. I need to figure out how much i can sell the rest of the car for. I called the junk yard that was posted on this site...but they have no need for the t-bird body. Anyone have any ideas or know of a wrecked car with the ford turbo 2.3 preferably with the t-5. Any ideas let em know.
Thanks,
Cody

joe...the motor, tranny and ecu will be out of it. But if u need the rear end or somethin' let me know.
Cody.... the body is in very good condition , the only thing wrong with is is the front bumper is cracked bu not too badly and there is supposed to be a title for it. I should be getting the keys from him...this week or weekend. The interior is also in good condition w/ one small tear. I'lll se if i can borrow my roomates camera and take pics.

Let me know about the rear end once you get it, and how much you would want for it...

I've seen the guy on RPS that did the independent rear end, I think it was out of an RX7, not sure what year. Thats crazy... I thought about it, for about 2 minutes :).

Yeah the rearend out of the TC's are an 8.8 solid axle, with 4.10 gears and a factory limited slip, the SC's had an independent rearend, and i've got one at my shop, that I'd take like $75 for if anyone's interested, or less, it's just in our way.
