I've owned about 5 of those cars. I use to buy them as winter cars. They were comfortable and they had all kinds of parts to sell in the spring to Mustang guys. The 2.3 was pretty much bullet proof.



i want to punch this guy in the face, what an @$$hole:flame: . who buys a turbocoupe as a WINTER beater anyway:nono: ? i can think of about 20 cars that would be better or cheaper for winter beaters...

Ummm...anyone except the people that come to this board.  That's all our cars are to the vast majority of people that own them, I'm afraid.

Agreed. But remember we've had a couple people join our board here that bought their cars as winter beaters.
I think we've swayed them on that though.

I'm with Paul, I think it's definitely time to get in a mag Hawk.

Yeah thats pretty sad...and ignorant.  I drove my car in the winter before "retiring" it but it killed me every time snow flew and the salt trucks came out.  I cant tell you how many times I froze my a$$ off on cold days washing the salt off my baby.  The thought of someone intentionally ruining a TC for a winter beater really  me off.  Typical Mustang owner attitude though I guess.  A lot of my friends question my sanity for dumping so much cash into my car but it makes sense to me.  Guess thats why I like this forum so much, we definately arent the mainstream ;)

I was thinking of buying a 'Stang for a track only beater. Why would I want to drive such an uncomfortable car otherwise? :rollin:

If i find one for cheap I will. :D Actually, a Stang makes a perfect beater. Parts are cheap and it's easy to work on.

The guy that started that thread is a member of SuperchargerHelp.com....I actually spoke to him via PM as he was asking about the wheels.

 Since I've been getting a lot of push and support on this one I'm going to put a few info/picture packages together to send out to some magazines in the near future and we'll see what (if anything) transpires.

Sweet! Good luck Glenn! *crosses fingers*

On a side note...my buddy is currently driving a 1988 TC for a winter car. He inherited it after his brother passed on. The condition of the body does not warrant keeping it for a show car. In other words, it's good for what he's doing and that's about it. The good news is that he only drives a few miles each way to work.

No matter what you do, you can't save them all, and you can't force others to save them either. A car is, to some people, simply a car, period. In a perfect world we'd all have our cars for the summer and snowplows for the winter. ;)

Man, I've never taken the time to REALLY look at that car until now! Very nice indeed!

I realize it's probably unlikely, but is there anything people here can do to help your chances of getting it printed?
