Here is the best start, or randomly on the internet or sightings. They are around in the northeast, you normally see them in the nicer/summer months.

Ebay and AutoTrader.com are a couple more to watch. Also check TurboFord, http://forum.turboford.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

I was so desperate when I bought my first T.C that I bought one several hundred miles away without seeing it in person.
I put the word out for someone to ship it cheap. A few weeks later I got contacted by someone who was coming my way on another delivery and got it done for $300. On a flat bed at that.
A $500 T.C (beat to shit) and $300 delivery cost---Total investment = $800.
Of course I had to put a transmission in her.
Not even one year later she smoked like a train.
Anyway, here is a nice 88 with a new engine thats just down the road from where I live.

Yeah thats not a bad deal if it actually has a new motor. With something that far it might end up costing me way more than I can spend with shipping and whatnot.
Im okay to travel within reason like for me NY, PA, NJ, and Mass is about as far as id go. Id hate to drive all the way there to find a POS and come home empty handed.

I dont mind most of the common problems and I can work that stuff out myself. Id prefer something that runs and drives thou even if I had to put some money into the body or the drivetrain to get it up to par. Something about spending money on a non running car doesn't appeal much to me lol.

I emailed the admins..i guess worst case I can figure out what email is acceptable by them and setup a name under that. Quick question on this forum is it possible to have email notification of replies to watched topics??
