1998 Mark VIII LSC and 1988 TurboCoupe auto FEB 2026

[XR7-4.6]

Hey guys I’ll be at this yard for another hour or so, I don’t have a lot of tools and I have some dibs of my own but lmk the TCs interior is pretty mint



Ooh I think it’s a collectors edition




Bad news is the wood on the wheel is pretty roached

Too bad the steering wheel doesn't look good...

The headrests, if good/cleanable, are a must have in my opinion for any 97 Light Prairie Tan owner. I already have a set, but others may be interested.

The shift knob, though I think the only piece of  fake wood in this interior, could be sought after just because of rarity.

If you can get that wheel, it's in better shape than mine and it looks like it might even be the right color. Shifter handle too to match.

The steering wheel is tan. Isn't yours ebony?

 

[theterminator93]

Looks dark gray to me.

I got my haul but I’ll probably go back with more substantial tools if there’s enough interest(I basically just had screwdrivers vice grips and basic socket set today)

The Turbo coupe is the real gem there, it barely even has rust! I don’t know if these are really hot items these days but the disc brake 4 lug 3.73TL the autos came with was a hot ticket upgrade item to Foxbody Mustangs




I did grab the bezels which are mint, only the tabs on the bottom of the center stack one have damage

Looks dark gray to me.

It’s dark brown

Hmm, well if you go back and it's still there (and they don't want an arm and a leg for it) I might beg you for it anyway and try one of those leather dye kits to get it to be a closer match to mine. At least in my case virtually all interiors are a lighter color - can't really effectively lighten up leather, but you sure can darken it.

Sad to see an older SC sitting in the junk yard. Owner probably drove the shit out of it till the turbo blew up.

I will eventually need the brittle lock/window switch covers. Not dying for it though
