Title: Pics of my 87 Sport
Post by: 88 Blackbird 5.0 on June 08, 2010, 11:29:44 PM
I paid $650 for this car.  It's missing the stereo, speakers & antenna & needs to have it's front & back bumper covers repainted, but other than that, I'm REALLY happy with this car.  I'm going to need to replace the carpet & have the headliner redone too, but that's no big deal.  I'm just glad I was able to buy this thing for such a low price.

Hey, thanks Hypo.  As you can see, I'm going to need to replace the driver's, front, inner marker lens too, but that's not a big deal to me.

BTW you can redo your headliner yourself for less than $50. It's easy. I just redid mine.

Great looking car at a great price!  Very optioned up, digi dash,autolights,floor shift, dual power seats, graphic EQ, etc. 

Super solid starting point.

Yup if it ain't rusty, you locked on to a great deal... Has the same interior as my old '87 Sport parts car, but mine was so nasty I was almost afraid of contracting some unknown disease...

The TC/'88 Sport seats would really look good in it...

Unfortunately the digi dash was std in the '87 Sport(then maybe you like it), but I want no part of those things...

BTW It has a power antenna, is it missing or just retracted???

Thanks for the good words guys.  I think I did alright on this deal.  I'm looking forward to having the bumper covers repainted and replacing the carpet.  It should be pretty nice then.

Sorry Tom.  I just caught what you said about the digital dash and asked about the antenna.  Since this car is going to be my DD, I like having the digital dash in it.  I am glad though to have an buttstuffog dash in my TC though.  I haven't tried the antenna yet.  I need to check that out.  Since the car doesn't have a stereo in it, I haven't checked the antenna yet.

Hey thanks for the heads up on that.  I just found the post you wrote on redoing your headliner.  That's too good of a deal to pass up.

I just did a search (keyword "headliner") in the body and interior section.  There are several good threads that came up.  I can't remember which one it was though.

Hey, thanks for the good words Jay.  I feel pretty lucky.  I still smile every time I look out the window at it.  :D

I checked the power antenna today and it works fine.  There were other things on my squawk list I did need to work on that I fixed today.  I replaced the broken hood-release cable today and swapped out the broken console lid latch with a good one.  After I had done that, I fixed a few other small items that detracted from the driveablilty of the car.  After I had all of those problems ironed out, I took the BlackHawk (my TC/5.0 is the "BlackBird") for a nice, long ride in the country.  Wow!  I love these cars!  Now I see why you all are hooked on them.  I see what I've been missing all these years.

Sweet car.I wish I would've started with a car in that kind of shape,but I thought a salvage yard car needed me.At this point though,I wouldn't trade the Sport for any car. I like the black,you made a good score.
