He says he will. I'll have to see on Monday.That sucks Mike, sounds to me like a shotty deal. Well, did he at least give you your deposit back? Sounds like a rust bucket.
Mike, sorry to hear that. If your anything like me, I get set on a car and the plans for it. It's a real dissapointment when photos, or the owner, do not properly represent the car. Guess it's a good thing that alot of us are older and don't date via the web. After all the car experiences I've had, I could only imagine the results of finally meeting the "Former Mrs XYZ" only to find a one-legged bridge troll.
Dayum...
Well, sorry to hear about that.
It sure looked like a smokin' deal, until you started talking about rust.
I don't know what all the hate is here for the F/Z...
They are not the prettiest car ever, but they are far from ugly, especially when you consider the potential.
They can be everything a 79-04 Mustang can be after you swap parts, which almost all interchange besides the body panels.
I hope you get into an F/Z.
I know you'll like it.
Well the T/C I'm considering as "plan B" is clean enough body wise,.......Alabama cars are like Arizona cars, only w/o the sun damage, and natural sandblasting of the exterior finish. The problem w/ the car itself, while cheap enough, and while it does run and has an AOD already w/ a 3.73 disc brake 8.8 as astandard equipment, it's gonna need alot of TLC just to get it to temporary DD status.If you run across a 1985-ish T-bird with a pristine body, I'd love to hear about it.
I couldn't care less about engine size or mechanical condition... I just want a perfect body, straight interior would be nice too, but not required.
Man. That blows.
The guy really seems to have a way with epoxy coatings. Can I get his number? I need to re-coat my garage floor, and he seems like the man to get the job done
Mike, I'm in the similar position. I really want to do a semi-road race build, but know it is not a keeper (work has me move too much). I just found a 99 GT that would be fun and an easy fix. If I bought it, it would be an additional bonus to the old "car fund". The problem is that I found a 92 that is just like my 93 and it won't bring the money, but is dog-gone fair priced for a CA car that passes smog. It's likely I will buy the 99, but ultimately be regretful for not buying the body-style I truly love. So, stick to the big Z and buy the TC for the motor...lol.
It has the right K member, ( Zephyr does not )
There is no wrong K-member.
Everyone says you cannot use the 3.3 K for a v8, but they are wrong.
It's 'urban myth'.
I bet there is an easy enough way to put the I4 on it as well.
I think you already made your mind up Mike. Go for the TC and keep an eye open for a Merc. The problem is that your actually looking for one. When your not, one will pop up. Anyway to greatly reduce the curb weight on a TC?
What year TC?
The nice thing about T-birds is that they don't need any body mods what so ever.
When lowered with some killer rims/tires, and tinted glass they look hot.
No spoilers, body kits, or fancy hoods needed.
