Been a Ford fan for sometime, had 2 quad light Mustangs (carbed and injected) and currently have a 94 Lightning with a 393. Went looking for a Fox bodied stang as a daily driver and found this for $2500. 1988 5.0 bird, 64K miles, near perfect. All I have done is Pony rims and spoogehos. Let me know what you think. Not the best photo, had about a 15 minute window between rain. As I said, daily driver for now, but a HO 5.0/T-5/TC 8.8 swap sounds like a good winter project for next year.
Pretty nice bird. I'm surprised it cost 2500, though.
if you need any help with anything almost this is the right place to be
Very nice and clean car. I like those pony wheels on it they are a nice touch. Amooset: not sure what you mean but up north a rust free, low mileage, 5.0 car like that could go for a lot more than 2500.
Welcome aboard..... Nice Birdie you have there.... For a nearly perfect 64K mi 5.0 Bird, $2500 ain't a bad deal.
One of the other board members also has a first gen Lightning...
Yeah, I tell you, sometimes the tools just seem to call to me in the middle of the night. "Come outside, pick us up, make the T-bird faster!"
I live even further north and mine is rust free. Sure it's a v6, but I only paid 1300. Maybe I got a good deal or something. 2500 just seems a little high to me. I don't mean to be a jerk, I'm happy to have new members around here, especially when I need a little help.
the thing is, people pay what its worth to them, and people sell for what they feel its worth, i picked up both my birds for 500 each, the red one, 3.8, high milage, but rather clean and in great running shape, the TC wasnt as great, but not bad, i feel that i got great deals, because i would have been willing to pay more (well, maybe not for the TC)
I like the mustang wheels on it, cool!
Thats a great price for a
V8 low mileage Tbird. Id pay that all day long. The V6 motor to me is junk, hey I can say that I used to own one and tore it out lol. :dunno:
Nice to have a fellow Gen 1 owner on the boards. Mine screams to be modded, but my bank account replies no. Got any pics of the L?

:iagree: you can say that again.. a few hundred times-
more bank would always be nice...
Great looking car, man, good deal on it, too!
Chrome jr,
Here is a pic right after a nice bath. Not too bad for 111K with a Maaco respray.
Sweet truck man.
Thanks. I'll bet you can guess which one get's the 1 car garage when it snows!

Here's a shot of my first moneypit. It went 10.92 @128 on a hydraulic roller 306 and a 150 shot.

And here's the pristine 76K original 86 GT I let the wife talk me into selling. But that's OK. I ended up taking part of the proceeds and putting a 125 dry shot on the Lightning, which resulted in a broken ring land on #4 piston, which resulted in the 393 currently in the garage!
Needless to say, I don't have to have a new car, just a good looking one.
heh i bought mine for $50 does that account for me? mine has a little rust... bottom of doors and fenders ,nice car.... heh, NICE NEIGHBOR!
