Title: 88 TC in GA, needs an AOD or maybe just VB parts
Post by: ZondaC12 on January 26, 2014, 04:58:29 PM
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Thunderbird-Turbo-Coupe-1988-turbo-coupe-project-car-/271380587362?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3f2f8b2362&item=271380587362&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

If the seller is truthful, seems like a fun easy project! No reserve, currently at $800....

Aw man it's in Georgia. That's way too far to drive it home in reverse :hick:.

That would be a great score for someone local to it. Oh and it would need a 4ALD not an AOD.

I've got a great A4LD that'll bolt right in.

That's a steal.

What a perfect car to do a NICE driver with. Those are the kinds of cars I look for right there.

Yeah as soon as I read that part I said to myself "If I were in that situation and 5-10 miles from home I'd back that bitch the hell home. Hellllllll YEAH!" haha
And somehow I totally forgot they had A4LDs.

Looks nice.  And, I love the two-toned leather interior.

Just curious, though, about the quote:

Turbo works great and will go to 15lbs boost with no problem.


If it did go to 15lbs boos, would that (and the required Gillis valve) explain the transmission issues?

Possibly. I know a local guy who had an auto 87 Turbo Coupe with the boost turned up. It ate 2 4ALDs in a year.

That's what I figured. Take the side streets and you'll be fine :hick:.
