ok this is gonna be hard to do but i rather see parts go to use. than just be crushed.

front end is toast as for lights and such. tail lights are modifiyed for sequential's

i have all the trunk liners and stuff. Grey cloth interior. two sets of door pannles extra set of door windows. Extra windo motors switches and anything else you guys think of that you need. i have a full console grey. top half is painted black. and the radio trim (not painted was my extra b4 car was broken into. let me know

shoot me a price and i'll let you know. oh and i have a 3.73 t-loc unit for the 7.5 rear if you want it let me know. other wize it's gonna be crushed or gone with the car.

i have a double hump crossmember out of a mustang and if i take the tranny then thats coming with it . and i have two instument clusters and one V8 sports cluster. digitals are about 140,xxx

Wish I could get my hands on that '88 V6 for an experiment.. but I don't have enough cash to buy it and come up there and get it. (you're probably about 1200 miles away.. and I don't even have a small trailer to put an engine on.. or a roadworthy truck to haul it in)

Some other guy was offering an '88 V6 on here, but some smart-ass comments from other users seems to have chased him off. Honestly, I wouldn't mind experimenting with a SEFI V6 swap into my '86 V6 (CFI) Bird, once the V8 Bird is roadworthy again. Just don't have the resources to chase an '88 V6 down.

Not to worry, I'm not in a huury. The T-Bird is covered by two feet of snow right now and another foot or more is expected to fall on Sunday. The poor thing won't be going anywhere soon, just remember that I'm interested. If that 3.73 traction-lock 7.5" diff is complete (ring, pinion and differential carrier) I may be interested in that as well.

No rush here. And yes insurance companies are the DEVIL, Bobby Bouche! Television is the devil too!

ok guys thanks for understanding. TC. the 3.73 is complete. R&p and the big part where the axles go in and the c clips hold them in. oh my bad is that the carier.

the double hum is only coming out if the tranny comes out and im not 100% on that yet bc im going to have no place for it due to the 5.0 thats going to be in it's place in the garage. and i dont think moms is gonna want the tranny hanging out in the open.

i just wish i didnt have to part it and could have a place to keep the car and get it fixed. if it would ever be insured again

Yeah, the thing the ring gear bolts to is the carrier. That's what i need, as it would make it unneccesary for me to try to find a TC rear (I have no use for an 8.8, my plans include nothing more radical than an HO and possibly T-5 swap and a 7.5 should hold up to that combo).
