'79 Turbo Dug Out of Back 40

Dug a 1979 Ford Mustang Turbo out of my back lot today. It's loaded on a trailer and will be scrapped next week after the good parts are pulled. It's got:
Turbo hood with scoop
TRX wheels and caps, may have enough to make up a set
misc interior trim and dash parts
rh taillight
Let me know what you need and I'll see if it's good. Also have a '79 coupe that's destined for the same treatment. kennyg

It's a rollover thats been taking in water and pine needles for 20 years, mosquitos love it. Turbo motor and trans is gone. Got to make room for some others that are crowding me around the shop. Pulled a defrost rear window out of another hatch if anyone needs it. kennyg

Nothing right now but I'll let you know if I get something in. I would sell my personal LX that's my avatar but it's too nice to turn into a drag car but it's your money. I'll take $2500 with the Pony wheels I just picked up. kennyg

These pics are so wrong. I groaned at the Fox blue convertible (had one) and the 84 convertible.

Got my car trailer pulled out of my low spot before the snow so now I can finish stripping good parts off the Turbo car. It's got a complete engine with Turbo, lots of trim, console parts, other misc. Come pick it!

Got a '79 coupe that I might pull out soon that was hit hard in front but could be shaved off at firewall for a drag car project with front custom chassis, another 86 coupe body that could be used for a drag car, front end is bent over a little from being in ditch but could be straightened. Come take a look and see if these are of interest to you.

Going to have to work some Saturdays to make up for all these snow days, so if that's the only time you can get out let me know and we'll schedule a time to meet. kennyg

Stock 2.3 Turbo as far as I know, it's got a small red sticker on it. This Stang has been at the retirement village for 20 years! kennyg

I'm going to search around a bit and see what I can get on it. I could get turbo stuff instead of headers and exhaust.

EDIT: I might be interested in the turbo stuff if you would part that. I'll know for sure in about a week.
