Not digging the Audi-style add on LED's he put on the front lights AT ALL.  Nice car, pay maybe 5K for it...

He needs to put the JC Whitney catalogue away. And the crack pipe.

We've been discussing this car on NATO for a couple of weeks. He started out wanting 22k and turned down an offer of  $21,990.00.

now this statement may be a true fact

"Note: I am selling this vehicle for HALF or what I put into it for replacement parts, repairs, upgrades, and restoration."

i find that hard to believe.. ~$40k is hard to spend when you're not getting into complete aftermarket suspension and quite a healthy motor build.. and i'm not talking about a y HO swap either.. for him to have spent ~$40 k on that car, it better be able to take the downhill S turn at leguna seca at 70mph or throw me back in the seat and run 10's at the track.. the guy is clearly trying to talk the car up, A LOT

i also believe this to be a lie, unless it's a super rare interior.. because i've never seen or heard of such interior, stock

everything is is original, no modifications with the interior.

The interior is a factory color. The only things that are not correct are the door speaker grills, which are the wrong color and the cheap auto store floor mats.

really? never seen/heard of such interior.. if it was cloth, i'd like it lol he definitely failed on the speaker grills though, the color difference is completely obvious

He did a nice job with it without being gaudy. Worth around $5k?

 Maybe the car is lined with kilos of cocaine? e.g; "The French Connection"

That could be why he believes it to be so special and believes he can get "street" value for the pen 15e?

It's the Raven (dark gray/light gray) interior in leather. It was a factory option on Turbo Coupes.

I love Fox T-birds, but there are a hell of a lot nicer rides you can get for $19k than that car.

Like a mint, factory fresh Turbo Coupe. But that would still be less than 19K.
