Post by: daboss351 on March 02, 2008, 05:14:52 PM
Well driving around, fourwheeling with my buddys, i saw a sweet looking 88 tbird on the side of the road.
leather, sun roof, keyless entry, and a OK repaint. Only prob is its a AUTO, YUCK. Gonna call on a price, cause it looks pretty good, and its CLEAN underneath!!

/puts flame-retardant suit on

If the Lincoln is in good shape, I'd stick with it.. I've never trusted the 2.3, and those specialty TC parts are pricy/hard to find.

That being said, I like the LOOK of the TC way more. Just not all of the things that make it up.

I really doubt id get rid of the lincoln as I have fallen in love with the car, but its not practical to drive it right now. Im looking for something decent on gas, that I can drive back and forth to work so I can finish the lincoln, then start on my stang. Depends how much the guy wants for the car.
I love the 5.0 in the lincoln but as far as gas mileage the bird will kill it. Plus i can finish the linc, then park the bird and work it over. All ideas in my head....

those are my thoughts to but i think its more towards the "fear of the unknown" more than anything.  Im sure if the power plant isnt hot dogged constantly, it would last.

In his defense, all I associate Bill Elliot with is McDonalds....

Also, I don't like Nascar.

You hit the nail right on the head. Fear of the unknown.

The engine in my current TC has been through a drunk driving lunatic, many mods and big time flogging, and now it's in my 88.

The engine itself is tough. Electronics is where they are finicky.

Well if he didn't like NASCAR why does want to put Bill's #8 on the car???

Was Bill driving #8 when he had the McDonalds sponsorship???

Guess you ain't ever drove a auto TC as a DD, don't expect much if any improvement in MPG... While they ain't a ball of fire, they suck gas just like a V8 when you're in the boost... Yeah you're gonna take it easy LOL...

That said it appears to be a nice car...

What do you mean? I would love to buy it, but until my dad sells my motorcycle, and i part out the other bike i have I have NO cash flow. Mom said no job until i have a car to drive back and forth to work.
Havn't called yet, Waiting to see if I could possibly get any decent amount of cash before I bother the guy. If i can't ill give you guys the number!
