2 88 Thunderbird TCs and other 2.3 T stuff real cheap

[tnturbo]

I've got two complete 88 TCs, no transmission for either one. One engine ran great, but now needs a cam otherwise complete. Other engine has a bad turbo. One car is hit it rear but has the rare FMS rear spoiler undamaged. Other car is fine body wise but front seats are missing. I think the instrument cluster is missing from one of the cars too. Both white, auto car had blue interior (no front seats now) 5 speed had red interior. Auto has disk brake 8.8 with 3.73 trakloc and 5 speed has 3.55 disk brake trakloc 8.8 rear. Engines from both cars are sitting on pallets, both cars still have computers, big VAM, big injectors still on both etc.

I also have some other assorted 2.3 turbo parts like extra accessories, various small parts, etc.

Everything is stored in the dry in a barn. Both cars have original snowflake wheels, think I may have a couple of extras too. Both have their intercoolers, etc. Never really parted out anything from either car other than blue seats and both trannies. Both noses are good shape. The auto car would be a decent driver with engine trans and seats back in it.

Regardless, come get all of this crap out of my barn for $600 firm. Anything 2.3 or TC related I have is included. Everything is located 4 miles from Exit 4 off Interstate 81.

The two big VAMs, brown top injectors, FMS spoiler, good 88 computer, intercoolers, etc would make most of your money back on ebay. Not counting the 8.8 disk rears and the good noses on the cars. Neither car has rust, though the one has had a hard rear hit.

I have no pictures and no way to take pictures of the cars right now. As I said the price is firm. I have owned these cars for 8-10 years and they aren't costing me a dime. I no longer grow tobacco so they aren't hurting anything sitting in the barn, but I would like them gone to somebody that would do something with them. But don't really care if they sit there for years to come. I'm well aware of what 2.3 T parts can and do sell for. I've owned bunches of them over the years, but I'm through with them now. I believe $600 is a fair price for two bodies, two complete engines and various parts. Almost worth the price at the crusher these days.

I also have a 3" downpipe for a 2.3 bought new from Sacramento Mustang, it is the long version meant to bolt up to an 86 SVO with no welding, not the shorty one. New never installed $50 it is in a separate place from the other stuff and not included with the TCs. Over the summer I am going to be selling some 85.5 and 86 SVO parts some of which are practically impossible to find. No fire sale prices on these as I may end up with another 86 one day and may need some of the hard to find parts. If you have any particular parts requests for the late body SVOs drop me an email or PM and I will let you know if I have it and price.

I can arrange to have someone help you load the cars on your trailer and can set the engines into the bed of your truck or on the trailer for you with the loader on one of the tractors.

Any interest in any parts. I'll have some pictures this weekend. Anybody want to see anything specific?

[Joe Dirt]

were are they located?

interested in the FMS wing and 3" down pipe and maybe soem mis interior parts

[tnturbo]

Talbott, TN about 4 miles from exit 4 off I-81 and about 7 miles from Jefferson City. One car has blue interior one has red. Front seats are gone from blue car. I can send a pic of the wing if interested. I bought it in 1991 and had on the car until I spun it on the interstate, trunk lid is fine as is wing, both white and matching

you would know that you would be far away from me,pm me what you would expect to get out of the wing and how much you would charge me to ship it to 37412

[tnturbo]

That is true, but when I drive back to MS, I can take the southern route 75 to Chattanooga then down 59 thru Birmingham and meet you down your way. I'm 500 miles from the cars until the 2nd week in May. I'll get you pictures of the wing this weekend if at all possible and then we will go from there. I'll try to guesstimate shipping based off my Mustang wing as they are similar size. I don't hold people up on shipping, it would be actual cost. I'll check with UPS and also Greyhound. You may have to be a little patient with me as I am in a doctoral program at Ole Miss and final exams for the semester are starting up and I have to coordinate pics and things with my family. If you are really interested in the wing, I'm sure we can figure something out. I'll check on the downpipe too, it really may not be that much on Greyhound.

just let me know im not in a big hurry

[tnturbo]

Good, our schedules match. Only other real interest I have is someone wants to buy the clean roller and V8 swap it and a few people want to buy ECUs and/or vams.

[tnturbo]

I haven't forgotten you, just haven't got anyone to take pictures for me. It may be in May when I am up that way.

[ILLINTENT]

I have some blue seats, decent shape out of an 88 T.C. if it would help you sell the roller. $40 for them, and any other blue interior piece you want.

[tnturbo]

If you still have them 2nd week in May I may be interested. Actually, I'm going to pass this along to the guy that wants to buy the roller as that is all it needs. Appreciate the heads up

[tnturbo]

some pictures, everything is dirty, but spoiler is undamaged. Both hoods are in good shape, just not shown in pics

[tnturbo]

few more. I have a good tail light for the missing one No pics of either engine, but they are complete with all front accessories and intercoolers, etc

[tnturbo]

forgot to attach

[tnturbo]

finally got them to post, that is a wire and not a scratch on the driver fend of the front car. I also have that missing molding piece. They are dusty from sitting in the barn, but clean up pretty nice. Nothing was cut while removing either engine
