Title: amazing tc on ebay
Post by: grutinator on January 22, 2007, 04:50:30 PM
1988 TC 5-speed

it sucks cus this is excactly what im looking for (i'd settle for a worse condition one) but this one is too expensive for me.

i figure anyone around the pennsylvania area should consider buying this just cus i'd hate to see it in the hands of someone who doesnt appritiate these cars.

, that's nice. My car's twin, pretty much, looks like it has all the same options that my car does...except that thing makes my car look like an old piece of junk.

That thing looks ten times nicer with twice the mileage than the 88TC I had! Mine had been through some abusive owners though.

NICE! Only 75 miles from me. If somebody buys it and needs it delivered, give me a shout.

So it's at $4000 with 6 days left on a 7 day auction.

That car's gonna fetch a pretty good sum.

Wow, you can see his reflection in the trim, lol. I didn't know those were supposed to be shiny.

Mustang and Fords magazine calls the '87-'88 Turbo Coupes "limited production future collectibles."

What magazine was that?

Mustangs and Fords. It's an actual magazine. Usually older Stangs, T-Bolts and what-not in it. I'm watching that auction. I REALLY wish I could bid on it, well, OK, not that much. I've actually called and talked to the guy, and the car is legit, but it's kinda optionless and it's not a moonroof car.

The same as mine (was), except it's missing the cornering lights. Oh, and it's perfect. I wish I could say that about mine.

Wow, that's beautiful.
$6,500 with 5 days left.

The lousy thing is it will probably go to someone who knows nothing about the car and wants it as an investment as opposed to going to an enthusiast.

Yup we'll see it in the for sale section here in the next week.


That is a real nice clean car. I would be scared to drive it.

If I ever could afford that, I'd totally get it.  The hardest part would be to not mod it, and just enjoy it like one weekend a month for pure stock joy.

That's almost as nice as my 86... But my floor mats are cooler. LOL.

It's already up to $6500 with 4 days left. That's pretty incredible! I wonder what bidder #7's actual max bid is.
