I'm looking at an '88 Turbo, no engine, needs paint, stick car. Straight body and good but dirty interior. Thinking 5.0 swap. What's it worth?
It's got the 4 cylinder spec trans, so that won't hold up too long behind a 5.0 with some work done to it, not to mention the short first gear.....
Needs paint as in faded/peeling clear coat or has some rust?
$500 max. Offer $350 and see what happens. Just my opinion....
I haven't seen it in person, but the seller says 'rust free and straight.'
Agreed.. No engine and dirty ain't much more than a parts car...
15 years ago I was buying decent cond, running TC at auction for $400-$700(dealers were mostly afraid of them)... Yeah those prices are probably up some now(none at auction these days) but you're still looking at a project car...
There's a roller tc locally on craigslist, just missing engine and trans. Guy has it listed at $250
$250. I paid $240 for my last roller. Why $240 - because it was a "meet me in the middle" offer between my $200 and his $280.
$280 is apparently what the sper offered, but he had to take it to the syard and had no trailer. I showed up with trailer and he "didn't have to mess with it."

My Sport was $250
theres a 88 TC on craigslist around here missing half the front clip and a door for $1200 that guy is higher than a kite. I sold a 88 5.0 car for 700 because I couldnt sell it.
I paid 550 for my 86 base V6.
