Description: This is my 3rd 5spd 88 Turbo Coupe. My first was what made me fall in love with these cars, but I was rear-ended by a guy in a Trans-Am with no insurance and that was the end of that. About two weeks later, I found this gem on the internet and drove 4 hours to look at it. It was so beautiful, it made my blood feel cold in my veins when I first saw it kind of like your first kiss to the prettiest girl in school, ya know? I've owned the car now for about 3 years now and have had my share of normal and not-so-normal maintenance issues, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. While I owned this particular bird, I bought another gray one for my wife that ran fine for awhile, but the down time got to frequent with it so we decided to get rid of it. There are way too many kill stories associated with this t-bird so I won't attempt to write them all here, but I can say that it has done me proud throughout the years.
