User Rides / 1997 Called, they want their car back...... my 1986 T-bird build
Yep, that's me. Summer of 1998 and the start of my senior year. My dad and I bought it in early winter of 97, in the rain, at a body shop. It was red and shiney and had a 5.0. Perfect first car right? I spent just over a year with the car when my parents (who were loaning me money for repairs; ie 7.5 rear end, one 5.0, and one AOD) decided I needed something more reliable and newer that didn't stall at red lights (*^$#*@*&@ CFI!!!!) So I was forced to sell the beauty you see here and bought a 93 Mustang LX. Forced you say, but its a Mustang a fox body Mustang how could I be forced? Two Point Three. The exact amount of liters the 85 hp POS 4 cylinder displaced. Don't let the 8 spark plugs fool you, there is no power there.
After mulling my way through about 14 Mustangs over the years I found myself wanting to go back and build the car that built me. But better, and more awesome, and faster, and something that doesn't stall at red lights, and leaves TWO black marks when you nail it from a stop. I browse Craigslist daily, sometimes hourly looking for deals. I found 2-3 cars that didn't pan out over the last few years which made me want one even more. I posted a WTB ad here and was contacted by My10-80 about a parts car he had. We put the deal together, I got a trailer and a friend with a truck, and now its mine.
Here's the thread where the previous owner to My10-80 was selling it:

And as it sits now in my garage:
As of now I'm trying to decide if the effort of making a SN95 dash work in the car is worth it. I don't have fenders, or a dash frame, or a dash from a Thunderbird but I do have the dash, frame, column, and pedals from a SN95. Here's a mock up of the SN95 frame in the car:
I'm a perfectionist. Its a disease really, not a character trait. If I'm going to do this the right way, the firewall is going to need surgery and I'm going to spend alot of one on one time with a SN95 at the junkyard holding a Sawsall. I have found an 86 in a junkyard about 65 miles from me, but $100 each for fenders and $200 for the dash seems high when I can get the parts for less than half the next time one rolls into the Pull a Part 10 miles from my house.
So thats where I'm at for now. I'll be updating as I go, and maybe within a year or so this will be on the ground and moving under its own power again.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 85 T-bird 5.0 AOD roller F/S with extra parts
1985 T-bird 5.0 CFI, AOD, 112k miles. The engine and trans are sold to a friend, so the car will be sold as a roller. The friend I sold the engine trans to has a 5.0 HO shortblock that could be purchased pretty cheap. I started to convert the car to SEFI and a floor shifter and I purchased a bunch of parts along the way. It has the usual rust in the lower quarter panels and bottom of the doors, but it has not gone through the panels yet. The car had a broken header panel, broken headlight bezel, and bent fender when I bought it, I replaced them and the headlight bezel with parts from another 85. It has a clear and clean Kentucky title.
Here's the run down on extra parts:
E7 Mustang heads with Trick Flow double springs
HO upper and Lower intakes and throttle body
2 SEFI harnesses, one with the alt and headlight harness
2 ECU's, one HO and one SO
SEFI fuel rails
2 AOD floor shifters and one cable from a T-bird/ Cougar
SEFI throttle cable
Turbo Coupe grill
Full digital V8 gauge cluster
Chuck's shock brackets
Mark 8 electric fan
3G 130 amp alternator
T5Z 5 speed trans
Walbro 190lph fuel pump
All of the CFI wiring, vacspooge, and TB/fuel lines minus the air cleaner
All original accessories and brackets
Thats all I can think of right now and I'm sure I'm missing a few things. I'm asking $900 obo, I can take paypal for deposits or the whole amount. PM or email me at Andystang93@yahoo.com with questions. If the package doesn't sell soon, I will start breaking up parts.
