Cool,
Well try a few of them other sites. Someday a clean turbo coupe is going to be worth a few bucks because so many were just run into the ground and driven, then parked/parted.

Schlodes has given you a nice ‘PC’ answer to your dilemma.
I do hope you find a buyer but honestly I think you may be expecting a little much considering what can be bought these days for that kind of money. Its great the engine has lower kms then the body but everything wears out as well and that’s what can make most people leery when buying a high km car.
Right now I can buy a clean 94 Mark 8 with less kms with a 32v 4.6 for $2000. I also have a mint 88 turbo coupe rolling chassis we picked up for $1000 in Michigan 2 months ago that is just missing the engine.
This is not to detract you from selling the car but if you really want to sell it then you may have to be more flexible and/or take the time to clean it & re-post some photos to prove its worth what you think.

Hey what are you doing with the 88 TC rolling chassis? Is the wiring etc for the 2.3T still intact? Was it an auto or T5?

Just curious as to what it would need to pass a etest? I offered you a trade at the very begininng of the thread, which you've totally ignored....or called me a hater for it - it has been deleted and i can't remember. anyway, now I have to consider buying it outright. Would you be willing to come down a little? Say $2500?

the e-test was just done last month so its still valid same with the safety which i could get done again if need be. as for your trade i dont remeber seeing a offer so i apoligize for everything that has been said. $2500 is too low. i dont want to lose any money on the car i would like to at least break even..thanks

well ive decided that if the car doesnt sell within two weeks i will keep it untill the summer time and pull this topic. so if anyone is intersted now is the time to offer money or your trade. and dont offer $1500, only serious offers will be entertained. thanks

im confused on why this was posted. is this a trade offering, or is this someone posting what someone is selling there thunderbird for. if thats what it is, what ever value the car has is gone now because nothing is original, theres no collector value anymore. the motor,interior,rearend etc is what makes these cars future assets and that guy changed almost all of it. not to say it isnt a nice car or anything im sure it is, its also a salvaged title. you can get brand new cars for less than half there sticker price.
