Nice, looks rust free.  That aint the one I seen on ebay thats was for sale out of NY was it?  Either way, sweet TC and I dig dark gray on these cars.  One of the more desirable colors for that car.  You gonna mod the 2.3 or swap a 302 or keep it a stocker?

Whats the paint code on that thing? Standard smoke? Looks lighter than my car's "smoke clearcoat metallic" (and whats the clearcoat word in there for anyways?) but I love how that one looks. If its standard smoke (think paint code 1K - the metallic is 91), could you get some closer pictures? Larger resolution? May be a color I consider painting my car with

1.3MP isn't too bad. A FEW YEARS (3-4) ago there was this 1.3MP camera for around $60 (discontinued-clearance price) which took excellent pictures and 1280 x 960 isn't all that bad

I bet your Turbines off your Red T bird would look sweet on your TC.  I liked how mine looked, mine was lowered though.

That or Cobra R's would really set your Turbo Coupe off, I was never really a fan of the Snow flakes unless they are polished.  If you dig them though, go for it.  I had Pony wheels on my Turbo Coupe briefly, they didn't look too hot IMO, sorry no pics.

i just want to refinish the snowflakes, if i could, id completely restore the car, but tracking down the red/black molding and the turbo coupe plastic embelums that does on the doors, im going to hold off from doing any "non-reversable" mods to it just in case restoration stuff pops up

only real mods i want to do are exhaust, intake, boost controller and maybe a front mount intercooler, so the car could easily be brought back to stock
