Finally!
Ahhhh.... relief.
Now I can beat my beater 89 TC with a hammer and pretend it's the dealer lol. A 1985 Sig TC, 34,000 showing (certainly 134), one teenie teenie speck of rust. Very well cared for, very clean underside and clean interior. I'm uncertain if I really like the color. I do prefer the dark blue, but pics don't exactly do this paint justice, it is very metallic. Dark blue leather interior. I actually had the brains to see and drive this one before forking over the cash. I've got the 89 as a donor for parts, nothing major, just the stuff I figured I'd have to do on the 89. First up - suspension! Pete

Just a guess here, Pete. You listen to tubes too? Most of your stereo equipment weighs more than a TV set, and you play vinyl. Not profiling here, just seeing an opportunity to identify some of our shared values.
P.S. Nice ride! Regards, D-Ray

No tubes, but not from lack of desire. I have a young granddaughter and didn't want exposed heat sources. But she's old enough now
 Now with the great recession receeding my income, I'm making do with my Belles 200wpc mosfet sand amp. I need stimulated  Pete

The latter versions of those only had 5 liter-302s- and got pretty decent mileage, especially for Land Yachts. My Uncle had an '81, 1st year for the "electronic" dashboard, he got in the twenties w/his, drove it 115K, & spent like $200 in parts over that period. They were a bit underpowered, but maybe not for the "living room on wheels" purpose that they were intended for.

Too bad the 89 didn't work out for you. The Fuel injected motor would have been a lot better in the mileage dept. That thing got a regular carb or one of those wierd variable venturis?

The CFI, AKA throttle body AKA single port injection
It's the POWER loss that matters. It's a bit slow although adequate. Should get around 22 hwy, 17 or so city. It is possible, but a pretty difficult job, to swap over the multiport onto it. Changed the shocks and rear springs, got a good look at her private parts Maybe she is 35K, it looks good. Sandy, I'll get at least another 200K out of her Pete
