This is my 1986 TC that I owned for 18years. I'm just curious how it's doing and if anybody on here owns it. It is most likely in Southern California. I sold it to Kiwi Steve in 2012 (as a roller for $250) who was going to run it as a 24hr Lemons car. Chip said one of his buddies bought it to possibly restore it. Where is it now?
Here are some pictures to identify it.

It won't have these wheels or the engine anymore.

Installed a NOS rear window

I completely stripped the front end of the car so that no more bolts were holding anything on and then painted it with silver/clear urethane and put it back together

Nick still has it. It is sitting in his massive back yard among his other 6 cars. I have the fender still at my house just waiting for him to call me and tell me when we are going to get started on it. Its in Reseda in a huge back yard waiting for my buddy to get off his a$$ and start wrenching on it. Hope that helps

Thanks for the update! Hopefully there is a sunshade in the front window or it's covered. I took great care to protect the dash to keep it from cracking for nearly 2 decades.

Ahhh man, I already have too many cars that need work...and a 1 month old boy. I always wanted to go turbo V8 with that thing. Either bolt in a 5.8 or better yet, an SBC/T56. Yeah, I'd consider doing it if I could go LT1 or LSX.
