That is a nice, clean Tbird.  Very cool.  What are all the mods you've done?

Where in NC do you live?  I live just north of Winston Salem.

  workin on getting a mustang II front susp. put on with disc and maybe power brakes. just sits in the garage most of the time.
 took my son for a ride one day, he said you have never really got on this thing with me in it dad, so what should a father do? that's right, i scared the sh@! clean out of him.

kingcars, do you know where paul ceiner woods ford is? there is a all ford car show the 22nd this month, there is a thunderbird spot set up for us. if you can, you still have time to enter your car, i think you got till this weekend. it's a pretty good show, i have been in it the last two years and mine was the only 88 there, maybe 8-10 older ones.the rest was, you know (MUSTANGS), look in the book and give them a call.

Wow that's a really clean Stang.  Nice score.  Should make a perfect first car, assuming he takes really good care of it.

As for the gas station thing, it was pretty funny.  I'm pulling in and I see 87/88 Tbird tailights sticking out.  Then I see dual exhaust and Cobra Rs, and the dark red paint and I'm like "Wait...I know that car..."  It's not every day I see fox Tbirds like that running around...and my "not every day" I mean "never."  It's a very sharp looking car.

Anyways, I should definitely be able to make it to that car show.  I just have some cleaning to do on the car.

WOW... Sorry to all the other LX owners, but that's probably the sweetest one I've ever seen.  Ever.

Post by: kingcars on September 13, 2007, 10:29:34 PM
It's not an LX ;)

Post by: thunderjet302 on September 14, 2007, 12:06:11 AM
Are you running speed density on that 5.0? Because it looks like you have an adapter on the intake pipe where the mass air meter should go;)
Title: my 88
Post by: flipnbird on September 14, 2007, 05:36:32 AM
the stang is an LX, and yes i'm running speed density (for now). got the adapter pipe from summit.
thanks again for all the comments guys!!

Whoops, i thought he was saying that the Tbird was an LX.  :hick:

PS - I'm gonna call that dealership after class today.  They almost put me on the work schedule that day and I was like "Hmmmm can I take that day off?"  haha
