$1200 O.B.O

Well, unfortunately I have to part ways with my beloved '85 T-bird. My g/f doesn't know how to drive stick and I wasn't about to teach her. The car runs good, shifts nice and is GREAT on gas (23-26mpg yes, I granny the car. Barely get it over 65mph LOL)

Most of photos I have of the car are older, with some slight modifications; such as: the Welds are no longer available with the car and the side skirts were taken off and sold. Other than that, the photos I have (as of right now) are old, but fit the car as it is today. I'll try to get some current photos of the car of how it's sitting now! I know, I know! Why did I primer spots of the car? Well, I had high hopes of eventually repainting the car and wanted to ensure that the spots I saw on the car (most of which are just minor scratches) didn't rust! The car also at one time also had a rear spoiler, but it was in such bad shape that I actually removed it and just put the bolts that were holding it on back on the trunk lid to prevent water from leaking inside the holes.

Modifications:
Stinger performance Mustang or Turbo Coupe 2.3 Turbo 3" Dual Exhaust, 2.5in Hooker AeroChamber lers and 2.5in Mustang tailpipes that dump before the rear bumper. Pictures of the downpipe to where the lers clamp are below (from Stinger performance's website)

15% tinted windows all the way around
Python car alarm with keyless entry (I think the door lock actuators are bad, so the keyless part doesn't work)
'05 Mustang shifter
Door and dash Infinity Reference speakers
3in cowl fiberglass hood with hood pins (I have new locking hood pins that come with the car, but weren't installed yet)

Other work that was done/has:
Neutral backup switch
Reverse light bulbs
1 year old (approx.): plug wires, spark plugs, pcv valve, cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, front-end rotors
New headliner, carpet, rear-deck carpet
autometer boost gauge (previous owner must of forgot/didn't hook-up the gauge light, and I haven't had a chance to do it yet either. =(

Car needs/might need soon:
oil change (the oil was changed religiously every 3,000 to 3,500 miles max!)
front brakes
rear springs (have, but not installed)
rear shocks (have, but not installed)

The car also comes with the following:
GTS front headlight covers (smoke)
chrome headlight bezels
stock replacement rear springs
rear monroe gas shocks
clutch kit with a throw-out bearing (thought that the t.o.b was going bad, but it was just the clutch fork making a whistling noise at times. Doesn't do it anymore. So instead of replacing just the t.o.b, I was going to put in a whole new clutch kit while the trans was out, but it didn't need it!}
upper intake [received from previous owner...someone tried to port it]
distributor
and a few more exterior parts/trim

I'll have more pics ASAP, especially of the interior. There might be some stuff I forgot to put in the ad, but once I remember, I'll update it asap!

No way! I've always admired this one and of course I just bought a 4-eye...
