That's going to be the rarest TC on the planet! Only 500 Red Mach 1's were made, and yours has the factory power moonroof (9% of TOTAL production, so figure on 45 Mach 1's). That's insane, it's like the Hemi Vert Cuda of the Fox TBird/Cougar field.

Other then the RR 1/4, everything else looks good. No rust on the floorpans or framerails.

That car is definetly worth saving. If you gave it a hell of a polish you would be amazed. 2 hours and I could have that thing gleaming, you should fix that 1/4 and the surface rust and keep it. That is an awesome car.

Yeah. It's one of those cases where it looks worse than it is. Definitely worth saving.

We cut the 1/4 off the 83 TC before we sped it. Not sure if it will work, but were gonna try. Obviously im not gonna use it if its a total missmatch.

9im with vinnie... i have surface rust on the exhaust system and some dings and dents.. other than that my car is virtually rust free. i see rust and i think "throw it away." i mean on these cars its hard to go around and look till you see a rust free one, but i wouldnt dare buy one with that much rust on it... i guess its from living in the south east when they salt the roads one or 2 days a year (if it snows that year)

btw, i've seen even worse rust on ohio cars b/c at nti there were a bunch of guys from ohio and i swear they were the worst when it came to rusty 80's-90's cars. of course there were worse rust bukets from even further north cars.. but whoa...

My car has a few tiny rust spots that need to be taken care of, but nothing major.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about saving that car. Just drive it until you find something better.

^^^ what he said. that car is rough. good beater, but there would be so much work involved to get it right it'd take a thick wallet to be nice. if you like to take the challenge of cutting out rust, fixing dents or replacing fenders etc. go ahead, its a lot of work which i would apreciate if i saw that same car lookin good. i mean it's very decent it just has some problems that makes it a beater IMO.

its not even rough............. a beater is something with lots of major rust, runs like shiznit, drives like shiznit, but still moves. that is far from a beater. you should see what my friends drive around before you call that a beater!
