I don't know if anyone would be interested or not, but I'm wanting to trade my Turbo Coupe for a fuel injected 5.0 HO with an AOD tranny (in a car or not). This setup will be going in my '62 Ranchero, and I'd like something a little better than stock (or at least something with low miles if it's bone stock). Here are the details.

'86 T-Bird Turbo Coupe
2.3L 4 cylinder engine
5 speed
turbocharged (non-intercooled)

Options: Power windows, power locks, power windows, power steering, power antenna, dual power seats, tilt, cruise, automatic headlight dimmer, automatic headlamps, illuminated entry, keyless entry (keypad on door), AM/FM/Cassette, premium sound, leather, intermittent wipers, rear defrost, map lights, interior lighting package (door courtesy lamps, rear courtesy lamps), Marchal fog lamps

Bad: Needs a clutch (included), needs p/s window motor (included), engine developed a miss (believe I may know the cause), power antenna only works sometimes (believe the mast needs replaced), leather driver's seat torn, rust-through on bottom of doors (mostly driver's door), some surface rust in spots around the body, cooling fan needs rewired or replaced (have extra fan), needs motor mounts (solid motor mounts included)

Good: New (used) steering rack, brand new 3" custom exhaust, brand new heater core, new plugs, new wires, brand new brakes all the way around, cooling system flushed less than 500 miles ago, oil changed within the last 500 miles, replaced exhaust manifold within 500 miles


For the right engine/tranny, I'll include the following:

Extras that aren't here yet: '87 Turbo Coupe rolling chassis - bought this for the body, which is in very good shape. This car has a set of 4 rear tubular control arms (upper/lower), 3.73" Ford MotorSport rear end gears, 2 sets of red cloth interior, extra decklid, extra sunroof w/motor, and a set of 16" snowflake rims w/almost new tires on it. Ranger Roller cam w/followers (unsure of miles)

Other extras: '86 TC parts car (in pieces, and some pieces are missing), '85 T-Bird Elan 5.0 (also missing some pieces, and crankshaft is snapped), 1-16" Super Coupe wheel & tire4-1/2 sets of extra wheels/tires (including the ones on both cars), and alot of extra parts taken from the '86 TC parts car.


If anyone's interested in doing some trading (I have NO cash to spend, either), then please PM me or email me at corder1979@hotmail.com and let me know. Depending on the setup in question, I would be willing to throw in some or all of the extras for the right trade. I'll also sell just the Turbo Coupe and parts it needs to be fixed for $1500. Thanks.

I forgot, the car got tagged yesterday (no plates). It has to be picked up by Monday at 1:30 pm or it'll end up getting towed to the junkyard.

EDIT: I'll accept other trades as well. Even other engine/tranny combos. I would still like to keep it small block, though, and it will HAVE to be an automatic. Please let me know what you have.

 

Now the '86 (main car) is gone. So now I have a 5.0 HO and AOD like I wanted. The '87 is pending sale after I pull off a few parts, and the parts car in my garage is pending pick up. That was quick, all within 24 hours, too. LOL Anyone want a free '85 T-Bird Elan 5.0? It needs a motor, but has a clear title. I'll throw in a hood, too.

All gone.
