[QUOTE="svtcarboy, post: 37273, member: 1998"] There's a 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe being sold near where I live, and I wonder if this car is worth thinking about (I'd love a second car to play with more than the SVT Contour), and have thought the T-Bird would be a nice choice... Anyway, the car has 88,000 miles and they're asking $2500. The car is a bit rough cosmetically, and would need a deguadification program (spoiler from a Fiero GT, and too many red painted trim items that AREN'T factory). The concern is the mechanical changes this car has undergone. I know nothing of these kind of things, so I may be worrying needlessly. The car was an auto, but has been converted to a 5-speed, and the turbo swapped out to one from a 5-speed (if I understood correctly, it may have been to an aftermarket). The axle is still from the ATX, which they say is shorter, and would help 0-60 times. So is this car worth a second look, with the understanding that I need to have it thoroughly checked out like any older used car, or should I not even waste my time and run screaming? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide... [/QUOTE]
