Hello All! I recently purchased a '87 TC and searched around and found this site to be the best, and I was luckily let in! The Bird I bought has 113K on it, is rust/damage free (I live in MN) and was garage stored/not driven in winter! Had 99xxx on it in '99! Just got a lot of maint. done and she is an incredible car in great shape! I have already gotten tons of info from this site, however I was hoping the mod bug wouldn't bite me this time (with this older/new car)...we shall see. Hopefully I can contribute! Thanks!

Welcome. The TC looks to be in great shape from the 3 photos in the link. Some rust and corrosion in the engine bay, but a little cleaning and rattle can satin black paint will fix most of it. If the body is rust free, I'd say you got a really good one there.

All TC's need a cone and gillis. Just makes the car so much a better driving/power package IMHO.

Welcome to the board. I take it from your first post that the "mod bug" has bitten you before. If that's the case, it will bite again with this car... It's inevitable.
