So bought this lower mileage turbo coupe  and was going to molest it for parts but got the stink eye from some people (neighbor wife friends).I really just wanted the pieces but I guess I am keeping it for now.Or until I get bored and yank the motor and use it in a rail and put 5.0 in its place.As for the car 77k on the odometer auto trans has the grey and black leather interior in awesome shape zero rust .

I just wanted the motor and the rest is well just that a 1987 turbo coupe . I have other hobbys I need to feed and this car was going to feed them I have a nice little two seater sand rail that needs a motor and why not a little turbo 4 banger not to mention fuel injected .

Everything is for sale at the right price. I know I paid to much but I always like this body style but man I need something that has a V8 and this 4 banger does not feel the void .My wife loves it but for me It needs another 4 cylinders
