It's will really heavy heart that I am posting this.
I took a new role at work a year ago, and I'm only getting busier. It looks like I will be running a startup division, which will take all my attention next year. Since I haven't touched this really in a year, I need to clear out the garage. Since I have bought many parts from folks on the forum, and have gotten a lot of good insight into these cars, I'm posting this to see if there's any interest in any of this stuff "whole" before I start tearing it apart.
I was building a really nice project, but now, I'm traveling way too much to dedicate any more home time to it. As you'll see below, I had collected quite a lot of high quality components, and since most of this stuff is put together, I thought someone might be interested. I'd really rather not strip this apart piece by piece, but if I have to, I can certainly do that.
Everything is located in Central Illinois, but I get to Chicago weekly (flying out tomorrow).
Front: Everything to convert to cobra brakes, including new ford racing (2004 mach 1) control arms, rebuilt cobra calipers (with lettering+ G2 caliper paint), new Hawk pads, new rotors, rebuilt spindles with new timken hubs, new brake lines, sn95 springs, and other I'm certain I'm forgetting.
Rear: Rebuild MK7 rear housing (heavy duty), sandblasted & painted. SN95 axles, actual cobra brakes & calipers rebuilt with G2 caliper paint, new Hawk pads, new rotors, all new seals & bearings, 3.73 gears, new carbon fiber posi clutch pads, brake lines, new Silver CHE upper and lower control arms (have a set of black, too), new KTM shocks, Mark 7 and Turbo Coupe parking brake cables, and a new Trick Flow pumpkin cover with stainless hardware.
Engine: 1986 HO shortblock (9.5:1 compression ratio and forged internals). Everything but the pistons/rods were gone through, completely cleaned, painted gloss black, and built up from there. High flow oil pump, TFS1 cam, TW170 heads CNC ported with Miller Mid-Lift Rocker Arms, TrickFlow Track heat upper and lower - Lower is TMOSS ported. New BBK Headers, new timing chain/cover, New water pump, small water pump pulley, chrome 200amp Powermaster 3g alternator, "Aaron Price" low mount alternator bracket. Trick flow valve covers, new cut-to-length plug wires, which I haven't cut yet. I assembled everything with high quality components, including using an engine nut/bolt kit from totally stainless. If that's not enough, i have a set of new chuck's mounts to go with it ;-)
Transmissions - have two choices:
The AOD from the 1986 mustang with a Lincoln high stall torque converter. Has a shift kit (installed before I got it). Includes thunderbird AOD floor shifter kit with cable (rare).
A complete T5 with short-throw shifter, brand new valeo king cobra clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, flywheel, pedals out of an '87 mustang, clutch cables, etc. Should have everything there.
I also have a new gas tank with high flow pump if needed. I have the shell of the car, too, but I doubt there would be much interest in it once all this goodness is gone.
Finally, I have another 1988 turbo coupe that has a spectacular body & leather interior, but the wiring harness is really messed up, and another parts car 1988 turbo (total hunk of junk) if anyone needs anything.
I have extra body panels, billet wheels, etc.
Let me know if there is any interest in this, and I'll get pictures posted. I'm traveling, so it will be a few days.
Driver side fender?
I think I can hook you up. Let me check when I get home on Friday.
hi I,m looking for a set of motor mounts thanks
Do you have the the bracket along with those turbo coupe parking cables?
I can sell the chucks mounts for what I paid, which I believe was $150 I think they were $175 last time he made them.
I think I have the turbo coupe brake brackets too, on a parts car in the barn . Let me check - flying home tonight, so expect a bit of a delay.
PM sent.
Thanks man just let me know
PM sent
I plan on heading out to the shed tomorrow. Anyone else need anything?
Thunderjet - do you need Oem, or will repop work?
Also, this is in your neck of the woods. https://racine.craigslist.org/cto/5861757712.html
What color interior do they have. Looking for red.
OEM. I do not want a repop fender.
I have three raven and one grey on grey interior. I don't have a straight OEM fender unfortunately, unless I decide to rip a perfectly good car apart. I'm not ready to go there yet...

Well.. I got the grey 1986 back together again. Once I get the timing set I'll get it posted, and if I ever get any free time, I'll start posting pics of what I have available.
No problem. Thanks though.
A bit of a long shot but do you happen to have an extra pair of front wheel wells/plastic fender liners, both driver and passenger side? If so I'd be interested in purchasing them.
I happen to have them. If I ever get time while there's still daylight, I'll check them out for you.
For everyone else, I'm crazy busy with work and days like today- 5:30am to 8:30pm don't leave me any time to pull parts. I'm simply exhausted at the end of the day. I plan to post pics, etc real soon, I just need to take a day off to catch up.
Cool. No hurry. Whenever you get a chance is fine. I need 87 to 88 ones, if they are different than the 83 to 86 pieces.
Quick update - work continues to be nuts, but I expect to get some time Saturday afternoon to snap pics and post a more proper "parts for sale" ad. If there's anything that you're specifically looking for, add it to this thread and I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the patience - Geoff
Long shot but you don't happen to have the lower driver (LH) door side molding for an 87-88 Thunderbird/Cougar with the chrome strip insert do you? If the molding is in good shape with no damage I'd be interested in it. Heck if you have a rusty driver's door with the molding still attached I'd buy the whole door. I have a way to get the molding off with out bending it and it would probably be easier for me to take it off the door.
Update: The rear and front cobra brakes are gone, as is the v8 T5. I still have a 4cyl T5 and hydraulic pedals, as well as the engine and shelves full of parts. Let me know what you need - my availability is terrible, but I will try to respond to all the messages I get.
