I just found out about this site from corral.net. I don't currently own a T-bird, but I've had a love affair with them for a long time. I bought my first one when I was 18 in 1994. It was a 1984 Fila T-Bird. I loved that car. It had numerous engine gremlins, usually stumbling and stalling at lights. I guess it was from the TBI and old EEC electronics.

I then bought an '88 T-bird Sport with a 5.0 engine, I really loved that car. But I always wanted a Turbo Coupe. So, after finding an '87 TC at a used car dealership, I traded in the '88 for it. I loved that car too, but after dumping about $3000 into it (including a turbo replacement), I decided to sell it for something reliable.

Now, many years later, I still have a desire to buy a '87-'88 TC and fix it up. Maybe one day I still can.

So, I just wanted to say hello.

I only have pictures of the '84 which I'm posting. That car really was in great shape except for the engine.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm having trouble finding a host. I'm still trying
