Id like to think maybe the TC was too far gone and he put it to good use for parts.
He took the interior out of the TC and put in the Mustang. Pretty cool.

Never thought I'd say this, but I dig that. Cleaner than what I figured it might look like...:burnout:
+1 Plus he worked the TC hood into his.
That's the first time I have seen the Tbird dash swap into a Mustang. That looks pretty good. Big improvement over the original boxy dash and even the newer 1987-93 look. I always hated those Mustang dashes.
Nice. But why is it only 2Gs?
I thought the hoods were completely incompatible with the 'Stang. Is that not true for the 83-Earlier ones?
pretty sure that is a custom job. No tbird hood will fit any mustang.
he did a very good job on it though.
Probably because it needs a new top
I wonder how much work a TC front end would be on a mustang? its gotta be fairly close...
I think its pretty badass. Not only to you get a better looking interior but you get a TC-ish hood on a four eye stang. I wouldn't change much more on that car.
Looking at the pictures, the TC hood scoops look like they were just worked into the original Mustang hood. It's certainly not a complete TC hood. The Mustang hood was cut with holes to accept the scoops and worked to make them mount flush.
As I said before I always hated the 1979-86 style dash which was a refaced Fairmont dash. A long time ago I wrote Ford telling them that they needed to change the dash to something more attractive. I suggested they actually use a Tbird dash. What they came up with for the 87-93 Mustang was different and better than what they had but failed in my opinion to look attractive over time. They could have saved tons of money doing a direct swap using the Tbird dash. It certainly looks good in the Mustang as presented here and gives it a much more substantial quality look.
If I was doing a Fox Mustang right now that Tbird dash swap would be the first thing I would do.
The only real incompatability I see with this Tbird dash swap is that you would have to use a foot operated parking brake if you use the Tbird center console.
Any Fox body dash will physically swap with each other including the Fox Lincolns. The only attention for adaptation would be dash wiring. The only dash that is not a direct swap is the SN95 Mustang one, as I found out too much cutting and fabrication for it to seem right.
Yes I realize that ;)
That is why I said it had a "TC-ish hood" not "it has a TC hood" :toilet:
He put the master cylinder in too-pretty cool.
It looks like it has the 3G alternator.
Asking price of $ 2,000 ? Seems low.
If he lived nearby I would jump on that. Wouldn't that be cool cruising around in a 85-88 TC interior convertible ?
It does seem cheap for what it appears to be. It could be junk in person, but with all of the things swapped over, I would doubt it. It looks pretty nice in the pics. If I had it, I'd rock it!
I agree.
That conversion looks great in the pics. Usually hack jobs will be missing alot of the donor car stuff and will be jury rigged with whatever. Doesn't seem to be the case here.
Some 87-88 snowflake wheels would top it off !
I am still puzzled why it so low on price. Could the seller not know how much work was involved to convert it?
I think he was responding to my question of whether or not the Pre '84 Stang hoods were compatible w/ Tbirds and Vice-Versa.
Thanks for all the Clarification!
, that looks a little too good.
almost like the factory shouldve done that.
i agree with the statement about the 87+ mustang interior, wouldve rather had the tbirds.
