Car is in nice shape, just needs a bit of TLC, and a few more upgrades to take advantage of what has already been done.

I may make a Video of it running and driving later....
Bumpity bumpity..... new price guys... $3000, Or best offer.. or trade for a 5.0L Bird or cat
Ron,just do the swap already and get the parts to make all the tc stuff functional again.
As you said,it looks like this car was meant to stay with you.
You could sell the engine and trans to help fund the project.
I may or may not know a guy interested in the eng/trans and wiring depending on what yer asking.
How much shipped to 79110? i want that car just as bad as i wanted your old blue T-Bird.
How soon do you think you gotta sell it let me get the XR7 paided off and i would take it if shipping would not kill me.
Dude,shipping to texas,come on,it would be outrageous.
Sorry dude I usually try and stick up for you when I can but can you for once please just say PAID... Its simple..
Sorry for going off topic......
Would you trade for a 88 cougar 3.8 :D
See if you woulda got the blue bird the swap would be done already....
Someone needs to move to the US and sell me most of their rides after they get sick of them.
I am still feeling sick almost after i saw a blue and sliver 93 mark 8 sold on SBFtech for $5,500. I wish i could take the TC pay you to paint it and ship it here. I think its a nice looking car and i hope you sell it but if no ones gonna pay good money for it keep it.
Iam trying to sell it as I found a 4.6L Stang I want to buy, for a winter beater. :evilgrin: I dont want to winter drive the XR-7 anymore...
I did pick up an nice strong running 5.0L for the bird though, so the swap will be done over the winter if it doesnt sell...:punchballs:
Dude you must have some beater lying around there amongst all of you stuff.
hahah yeah I have a 94 F150 but it stinks like Cows inside... bought it from a farmer.... cleaned the interior and febreezed the seats, but it still stinks....
here are some pics I took of it today:

Dam ron that is one nice lookin ride,didn't know she looked and sat so nice.
I got a buddy who can do an e-test for ya in about 2 weeks and get ya on the road if ya know what i mean,under 100.00 bucks.
You definetley need to keep that car and go in search of the TC stuts/shocks and abs parts to get her fully functional again.
Nice car and well worth the 3k asking price. Problem is that it seems like everyone is holding onto their money lately.
I agree. People ARE holding onto their money right now. Allow me to let YOU in on a little secret WLD BRD. It IS the economy! :rollin:
LMAO, yeah you are right about that for my ad....
but I bet that 351 would be an easy sell if the cost of fuel was cheaper no matter what the economy was like.... Hell I would buy it NOW except it would be too much of a pain to get across the border with it....:punchballs:
Nice ride indeed I like the color mixture.
Geez...I just bought an 88TC, flew to Washington and DROVE it 2000 miles back to Texas. cost less than shipping (which was quoted @ $875).
Man if you weren't so far away and my wife wouldn't kill me I'd love to have that TC. It would be a nice complement to my 5.0 bird. I'd hate to part with it if I were you!
PS--what size tires are you running on those 'stang wheels?
