Good afternoon ladies and gents, I'm Will. I will be taking possession of a new to me '88 Turbo Coupe tomorrow! I look forward to hanging around here, learning all I can and making friends!
Here's some pictures of the ol' girl. She has 116K miles on her.

Thank you!
There are a couple minor cosmetic issues, but nothing my dad and I can't fix. This is my first Turbo Ford but I've owned a few turbo vehicles in the past. (Cobalt SS, a couple 7.3 Powerstrokes)
When I first got my driver's license there was a beat up TC for sale in my home town but I wasn't able to buy it. Patience and a little luck have paid off for me this time!

Manual.

Thanks, Pete. Aside from the rear axle having surface rust and what looks like a front main seal that was leaking at one point, she's pretty clean underneath as well.

Yes, from the catalytic converter back it has been replaced with a single muffler and tailpipe of unknown origin. That will get replaced with something else with dual pipes. And thank you!

Thanks. I don't think it has been lowered. It's probably because it has bigger tires- 245/50-16
Maybe you will be able to notice if it looks lower than stock from this picture-
