  • What's it worth or how much to restore

    Guys I have a 1988 Thunderbird Turbocoupe , Midnight Blue with close to 200k on it. Thinking about possibly sellling it or maybe seeing what it would take to get back on road. We had a compression test done a few years back and it does have one bad cylinder. It has sat for about 4-5 years. Body needs paint but is straight. The car is loaded with every option avaiable including sunroof, 5 speed,leather, etc... What do you guys think it might be worth as it sits? Or what would it take to get the 4 cylinder back running? Thanks in advance for the information..

    Keep it and avoid the insulting offers. That would be a killer project full of WIN

      yeah, they're pretty cool cars, but you're not going to get offered much at all for it.

      rebuild the engine and roll out. they're cheap and easy to work on. just use good forged pistons

            Overheating and heavy... not my choice.

            Speaking of which, I do need to get something going on that Saab. Maybe get my son some ass time in there.

                  The're just a foxbody once you get all the bullshit out, and you can tldo the big brake swaps just as easy. Overheating is always an issue.

                  Hit me up with the Saab story, ill help out.
