For better or worse, I am now the proud owner of a non running, rough looking 86 Turbo coupe 5 speed donor car. Probably paid too much, and it came with no brakes, and 4 flat tires on Mustang 14 in rims, barely high enough to winch it on the trailer. I actually did not look to see it the turbo is still on it, but the valve cover says turbo. It was cheap and about 930 last night.....The guy said not to put your hand in the engine compartment because of the spiders...

Probably going to be a long adventure to get it running!

Any suggestions, tips and such are welcome. May be open to good offers!

Bird flu was definitely fatal for this one.

The body is mostly ok, but the doors have long creases in them, and the trunk lock was removed violently, so the trunklid is probably junk.

The seats are decent! Except that they are full power, and it has no battery yet...

Found 3 turbo coupe emblems in the trunk.
