With turbo emblems?

That motor is probably gone. Someone used it to replace the 18 horse Briggs on his lawn mower.

@Noobz347 , @RaggedGT , I'll get pictures of the engine of the '82 GT that has the turbo emblems on the hood scoop. I'm already prepared to be underwhelmed.

How did I miss this statement?

You? Murphy's law?

Make sure that you leave that Bastard home when you come here. I have his whole freakin family here already.

We'll want to paint as early in the day on Saturday as possible. Hopefully Friday will be a good productive day for us.

Uhmmmmm, you see.....I just came to the revelation that today is only Wednesday......I'm going there tomorrow, Thursday.

I worked last weekend and kind of lost track of the days of the week. Usually I can go by when the liquor store is closed, but I was busy on Sunday, didn't check.

Soooo, tomorrow, Thursday for sure

So, pictures: Hey @95BlueStallion , looky, looky.
First, what I mistook for an '82 GT....It's not! It's a '79 hatch with the four cylinder, turbo charged engine. It also has the TRX package including those wheels with their wierd metric sizing that need tires that cost a fortune:


The driver's side door is blocked by growth, so I couldn't pop the hood.

The yard owner says it's for sale, didn't have a price yet, says he'll have to think it over. It only has 80k on it and he says it runs. He says the turbo fours all had the GT scoop on the hood. I've seen pictures with that scoop and the turbo emblem on it in advertisement pictures from ford, so....

He's right. The car itself isn't valuable, but if you could get the wheels cheap people are paying for them.

Honestly that car is more appealing to me than the ttop coupe.

Buy all the ttop glass you can. It will fund a good chunk of your resto.

Fourth: a silver '85 GT t-top. I'm getting the rear bumper off of this one for my brother's car. Front end damage on this one:
