Second 1988 TC (currently not on the road):

Originally bought as parts car (owner quoted the engine was blown) but found out later it's a blown head gasket. White exterior with dark blue cloth interior, fully loaded including factory power moon roof.  Completely stock car, no mods - Overall condition is pretty good and makes a nice daily driver.
