Miles / as of: 71,000 8/2/04

Owned Since (mth/yr): 4/97

Email: keithngina02@sbcglobal.net

Modifications: Built up grand national turbo, Gillis valve set at 21 psi, upgraded world class T-5 trans with short throw, 2 1/2 inch Dynomax Race Magnum no cat exhaust system, K&N system in fender, built up Auburn rear end, Ford Motorsport front mounted intercooler

Description: This tbird has a little history behind it, when the newer 89 body style came out, this car was used to represent the 85 year in a poster that covered the t-birds from 55-89. This is my 3rd turbocoupe. My first 2 had 144,000 and 160,000 very hard miles on them when I sold them-no major problems with them, I get this one with 23,000 miles on it in 97, baby it and keep it stored keeping the miles on it and look what happens, I have to replace so much stuff. I finally decided that I would enjoy the car and drive it-now I have just about 72,000 miles on it. It has never seen snow and has only seen rain 3 times. It is in very mint condition, you could eat off the bottom of this car. It is all original paint and motor-not the turbo. I have been extremely hesitant to do anything to the car because I want to keep it original but I just want to enjoy my car so I have been doing things to it. I now have a very built up Grand National turbo on it that has the capability of 35 psi-! No way I can use all of it w/o detonation so I have it set at 21 psi-very nice boost. It is quick but not quick enough-in some of these pictures is my brothers 86 Camaro-it runs 11.01s in the quarter mile on motor, no nitrous-I would like my car to be close to that but it sits at 14.15 in the quarter-not fast enough compared to some of the pocket rockets from the factory these days. I absolutely love the car, I have considered getting rid of the car so I can get a turn key car but there is something about the car that really draws a lot of looks-you do not see very many mint tbirds out there and when people see them, they notice. I get about 3 times the looks in my bird then my best friend in his 00 convertible vette. So I will just enjoy my turbocoupe and enjoy looking at everyone else's in NATO-keep them looking great everyone.
