I'm considering selling, but not sure what to ask for my car. It's a 1986 former V6 with a 1991 E7-headed 5.0 and a Turbo Coupe T5. Runs great, drives great, new frontend, five-lugs with SN95 spindles, Performer intake, Carter/Edelbrock 625. Factory-style exhaust, but a little louder since I used '99 mufflers on it. Paint is decent, shines nice, interior is good 87+ style leather, the driver's seat has little cracks but no tears. Top is OK, no leaks, just a couple patches. The doors and windows actually line up correctly! There are a few dings and such, paint chips, et cetera, a little crease in the passenger quarter for some reason. See pics. The car also has black LX tailpipes now, added since the pics.

Motor and body are from different homes. Motor has 108k, but has all new gaskets and no leaks. The chassis has 106 or so. Roller cam block from a later model.

Yeah, motor is 302. The distributor is an aftermarket D.U.I. type HEI coil-in-cap deal. Beats all the ugly Duraspark crap, no ballast resistor, and revs higher and sparks hotter too.

I've also since cleaned up the underhood wiring. These pics were right after I dropped the motor in.

Forgot that I upgraded it to a 100-amp alternator too. The AC is charged according to a pressure gauge, and supposedly works fine, but I don't have the harness to connect the compressor. I need to go to the Pull-a-Part again.

Wheels look good on their. I sold my 86 t-top with 220,000 on it f-injected though and stock except for the turbo 2 mufflers and paint for $3000. Guy didnt even hesitate. Had an awesome paint job on it and new chrome Cobra wheels and Bridgestone tires on it 16". Interior was in fair condition. If that gives ya an idea. That was 3-4 yrs ago.
