Looking at all colors now, prefer stock to light mods. No rust or major collisions. Hoping for a near mint car. :)

Really hadn't intended to sell this car but am having a hard time thinking about modding the car. 87 Black T type, 13,600 original miles, grey bucket interior. Car is all original down to the tires with two mods, hotter chip and ATR cold air induction. Stock wires, stock stock stock. Very clean car, was not undercoated. Have a lot of the delivery paperwork and original car order out of Mass. Hard top, paint is actually not bad for 18 years young. Original t type wheels with original goodyears. Original exhaust...... it just goes on and on. My original plan for the car was bigger turbo, intercooler, injectors, exhaust, downpipe, all the normal good stuff to start pushing well past 400HP. It just seems a shame though as the car is truly a survivor. I've wheeled the paint, just needs a good steam clean on the bottom and a good clean on the inside. Most people think it looks fab already but I'm a very picky owner. email is dz28lalonde@yahoo.com car is currently inside my garage inside of a carjacket so don't have access to many other pictures. have a few more if interested........

That car is absolutely gorgeous! Thats also pretty rare...a black 87 T with chrome. I thought after November 86 that all black T's were WE4's.
Regardless, that is a nice ride!

It's a pretty cool car, the original owner first ordered the car as a WE4. Changed his mind after ordering and deleted the WE4 package to ensure the chrome bumper and grille and stainless trim. I think it's a pretty good looking car as well. If I keep it there will be some shiny 17x9's on it in the spring...... thanks for the compliment.
