Nice score...I'm one of those who don't care much for the porno red interior, but if it's nice, I reckon I'd put up with it lol.

EDIT: 140 Speedo!! You lucky shiznit, lmao
Also, you sure that that's not a moonroof?

Sorry to show my ignorance, but what is the difference in a sunroof and a moon roof? This one does open.

Sunroof in the day time
Moon roof at night! hahaha

And they have been salting the roads here most of the winter. Very unusual for us. I hate it. Luckily I have a dd so I dont have to drive my bird or my t-top mustang.

The sun roof just pops up, the moon roof tucks under the headliner.

Sweet...I like mine, but for these things: the interior height is decreased a bit, and finding a good headliner is next to impossible.
Stan is a shorter fella though, he won't mind lol

I found an otherwise nice blue one at the JY the first of the year...except some sumbitch had ripped it down by the visors.

If the moonroof motor ever goes out, I read somewhere that Mark VII motors are identical...

This is true as well as some BMW and SAAB models

This is the first car that he bought. I bought the white one for myself in 04 and gave it to him in 06 when he got his license. (You can see it behind my Chevelle)

Yeah I love having the 140 speedo in this one haha. I was hesitant about the red interior but it honestly isn't as bad in person as it looks in pictures, and the interior is in very nice shape. I also failed to mention that it has a new exhaust system with dual flowmasters.

Nice find. I wish the weather in Indiana permitted me to have a fox for a DD...I just couldn't bring myself to drive one in the salt.

I think a TC would make an awesome DD! Congrats man.

We've unfortunately had a few salt situations the past few winters :( . Just last Thursday I had to drive the white Tbird around in the salt and it killed me. I'm sure the TC will see occasional salt but I always wash my cars or at least rinse them down as soon as i can after driving in salt.
