86-88 TC wanted

Thought Id try in here, because I think i put it in the wrong place.  looking for 86-88 tc with manual trans and either black,gray, or blue interior.  or anything but red.  Im near toledo ohio so if you know anybody getting rid of one, let me know.  Also doesn't matter what color the outside is, but less rust the better,lol

I watched that super clean silver one in your third link.  I wouldve done the buy it now at 3500 if it had been a 5 spd.  There is another one on there new tonight, that I think I may try to get.  faded silver and would be perfect for the color change that I want.

I got the taurus that I have in PA and there was zero rust under it.  The only rust I found was on a couple brake lines.  I guess it also depends on where in PA it is.  I havent bid on any TC's in ohio, because they ALL seem to be AUTO's:mad:

okay, that ones out too.  400 miles away.  rather not have to go that far.  I guess my price range is up to 3500 or so.  I guess i'm picky as to what I want because I don't want to have to do gobs of rust repair like I did on my truck.  and I don't want to have to do an interior, or swap out a trans.  I just don't have the time anymore to do that kind of thing.

You can get a really nice turbo ford for 3500. Just keep watching ebay and autotrader, and not to mention sites like this, nato, and turboford. They come up constantly.

there's a thread about my old 85 turbocoupe.  i know it's a little out of your way, and it's not an 87-88... and it's an auto, but  that car is nice.

5.8fastcat has/had a 87' or 88' for sale. White on the outside, w/5speed. Can't remember the interior though (might be red). Prett sure it was in your $$$ range as well. Car looked really nice. You should send him a pm to see if he still has it, and I'm almost sure he does. He lives in Owensboro, KY. http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&un=m&cl=EN&ct=NA&rsres=1&1ffi=&1l=&1g=&1pl=&1v=&1n=&2ffi=&2l=&2g=&2pl=&2v=&2n=&1pn=&1a=&1c=toledo&1s=oh&1z=&2pn=&2a=&2c=owensboro&2s=ky&2z=&r=f

yeah, im interested if its in good shape and 5 spd.  The outside doesnt matter a whole lot and a blue/silver interior would go good with what I have planned.  Dark blue/purple color thats on late model chevys
