Guess What I Found !!!!!

I was coming home from Texas today,and stopped in a small town just south of where I live because I saw a Thunderbird behind a fence at a small repair shop.I talked to the owner,and he said it's an '88.It's a Sport model,grey steel wheels,gold body (great body,bad paint),tan leather interior.The seats are pretty rough,but it has the floor shifted AOD,full gauges,5.0 (obviously),and not a dent on it.The driver's side taillight has a small crack in it and the car needs to be cleaned up really good.I asked him if he'd sell it,and he stated I could have it for $350.00.He also stated I could drive it home.I'm going to buy it and I'm unsure what to do with it.I'll probably clean it up,start polishing the lights,and get it ready to swap all of my parts into it,grey interior included.I'll yank the 5.0 and all of the other parts I won't use and sell them on E-bay,and install my drivetrain and exhaust in it.First I need to get it home,check the rear in it and see what it has.If it doesn't have a locker,I have one in the garage for it.I'm loving this day.
