Exclamation FS: Only! '88 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe: Factory Turbo 2.3t

***UPDATED: interior shots posted - 10/31/2010***
Long story short, the rest of my tuition is due by the 29th of this month, and I need some extra money to pay it off. If I don't pay it, I don't graduate. Its that simple.

This is priced to sell. It was my dd for almost a year and I took great care of it. Synthetic oil change every 3k miles, everything replaced that needed it, etc. For a 22 year old car it is in great condition! I stopped driving it back in May, and it has been sitting since, but started up and moved regularly to keep the motor fresh. It starts every time and does not burn a drop of oil or coolant! I'm asking $1,500 OBO!!!

Good:
-all parts replaced within the last 3 months of me driving it-
-New inner/outer tie rods
-New battery
-New clutch/flywheel (oem)
-New Clutch Master Cyl
-New Front rotors
-New front and rear pads
-New valve cover gasket
-New intake gasket set
-New plugs, wires, cap, and rotor
-New EGR gasket
-New waste gate actuator on turbo
-Good condition factory ishi-warner ihi turbo (rebuilt by previous owner of motor)
-4 wheel disk - factory
-8.8" rear with 3.55 gears - factory
-forged bottom end good to 400 whp - factory
-blue cloth interior swap (great condition)
-newer factory 2.3t swapped in ~150,000 miles on new motor
-3" stinger performance dp, and 3" straight pipe dumped @ axel
-Gillis manual boost controlller - 17 psi
-kirban adj fpr - 42 psi (adjusted by reading spark plugs)
-ported/knife edged lower intake
-ported upper intake
-twin piston BOV (works with factory air meter)
-3" intake w/k&n filter and ram air induction
-obx-r boost gauge (reads -30 to 30 psi) - lights up green to match cluster lights
-aftermarket water temp gauge (not wired in but the sensor has been installed)
-dual a pillar gauge pod
-silver 5 spoke fox body mustang wheels 16"

Bad: - all of these issues I simply have not had time to deal with recently, but are easily fixed with some small effort
-body has 204,xxx miles on it and it shows (clear coat on top and trunk peeling, small dent on drivers side)
-dented hood replaced with a black one in better condition - rattle canned silver to match car (doesnt look bad and is better than the black that was under it)
-sun roof button stuck (easy fix)
-ac not hooked up (all components there, just needs a charge and a belt)
-electronic drivers seat does not adjust (can be powered with a dvohm to move back/forth and up/down for the new owner)
-sony head unit needs rewiring (does not remember presets and will not turn off unless the lights are off - easy fix)
-passenger side molding could stand to be replaced ( I have extras)
-tires need replacing (they're dry rotted and need to be filled with air regularly)

Like I said, this car made a great dd, and surprised a lot of cars on the street that got excited at the sound of a turbo (including fox body 5.0's). With a good set of slicks and a decent driver it would run mid 13's at its current power level (gotta love rwd!). Any questions feel free to ask. Again, I'm asking $1.500 OBO! I also have a whole box of extra door panels, headlights, etc....that comes with the car. Please keep negatives to yourself, bumps = rep, and thanks in advance. If I feel you've lowballed too much, I simply will not reply.

PICS!
