88 T-bird Sport

While they are not that common these days, unfortunatly it doesn't make them all that valueable. Best part is they are just big Mustangs, so almost every Stang part will work or can be modified to fit(specifally exaust).

The SO 5.0 is a roller cam just like the HO, but it is a very mild grind. Also it has poor flowing heads, small throttle body, asthmatic exaust, etc. The O/D is probably a bad band. It's common to burn them up if the TV cable retainer grommet breaks...

So if you're thinkin race car or pro-streeter I'd say go for it. you'll give up 350lb to a Mustang, but you won't have a car like everyone else
