Possible deal headed my way!!

Well I may have found a possible roller 87-88  TC thats in so much better shape than mine it makes mine look like $hit.  Need to verify for sure the shape, but my buddy seen it in person about a  month ago and siad it looks like its never been driven in the winter.  Well he finally got back to us on a price today. $1000 down the road, 2  motors, 2 sets of rims with good tires and probably 2 trannys(not sure)  Might possibly be more Im still a little unsure there. Of coarse still  need to come up with the cash and check it out myself, but if I can this  will definatly be a saved car. Got my fingers crossed thats its in the shape and I can come up with the $$$

Ive got my fingers crossed, in all reality if this TC is in as good of shape as Ive been told it would literally be a barn find!!! Its been sitting in there for a few years, the current owner has just lost interest in it. This all started after my buddy ended up over there and brought up that he knew someone that would possibly love to get their hand on it(me of coarse!! ). The wait for him to get back to us has just been killing me!! LOL Since about 5:00 tonight Ive been trying to figure out how Im gonna swing this!

Well got to go see it. Its definatley gonna need brakes, but I checked  like the bottom of the core support, back of the strut towers all rust  free as far as I could tell. But temps being just above 0*F without the  wind chill, I had to make it quick. Cloth interior, power moonroof,  possibly fully optioned agian so cold I didnt have time to investigate  everything. It looks like other than replacing stuff because of the time  sitting, its in alot better shape than my red one. Heres a few pics,  tell me what you think.

I wouldn't say no. What you don't or can't use can be traded for money. I don't mean sping either! lol
I say save it, and as mentioned, build 'em both. Hell, your red one..make it a 5.0 car, and restore this one. Just don't junk either of 'em. Just my opinion.

Id love to, but I dont have the $$ or space right now for 2 projects. If I cant find a way to keep both the red one will go up for sale to another Fox Tbird fan. I refuse to crush one of these anymore. I already lost one 10 years ago because I couldnt get a title for it.

Other than layers of dirt the paint looks decent other than some clear coat peel. If it needs just a couple hours of body work and a fresh coat of paint Id be happy. Im gonna see if I can go look at it agian when frost bite wont get me and its day light. Im also trying to decide if I think its worth $1000 as is.

Ya neither one will be junked like I siad earlier. The Turbo Coupes are just getting to hard to come by in restorable condition. Hell other than some rust repair the red one just needs a few more parts to be perfect.
