I've been looking around a bit trying to find a turbo-coupe, and I'm coming up with absolutely nothing. I know you guys must know where they are, or else you all wouldn't have them. So let me in on the secret, please? 
ok, so how do you find a turbo?

Junkyard, local classifieds. I don't see too many in my area, but every now and then I come across one.

How to find a turbocoupe
I was watching the classifieds, reading all the local "shopper" papers, had friends in various parts stores keeping an eye out, got in tight with the pizza guys/gearheads (they see everything), drove past all the car lots at least twice a week, scrapmetal yard guys were bribed with free pizza, even had the U-Pull_it guys on alert. Then one day I spot one (86) in one of those "We buy titles" places. Sweet talk the girl down from 500 to 400 dollars and drive it home!! Nearly a year and it pays off.
My little brother has a flat on a road near his work and walks up to a house to use the phone and buys an 84 GT turbo vert Mustang for $300. He's a worm...I offered to trade him but he doesn't want to.

Junkyards are your best friend. Also just driving around, keep an eye out for the distinctive features of an xr4ti or a tc out to pasture in someones yard.

the guy that my brother bought his turbo coupe from had 3 of them.2 88s and an 87.my brother bought the 5spd 88.he took his friend up there and bought the 88 a/t for $800.he still has an 87 a/t that supposedly has an upgraded turbo on it.it needs work on the brake system,not sure what it is but he only wants $500 for it.i'm sure he would probably take $400 for it.

They seem to be fairly common. There was one for sale in Feb in the local Tell N Sell. There is another one there now, and an 87-88 or so for sale at a local used car dealer for $1500. Thinking about getting one for the drivetrain here.
