Did you actually buy it from Pick a Part? I thought that barcode sticker looked familiar.

The guy I bought it from bought it for parts but couldn't use what he needed since his is a 77

Consider yourself lucky. Around here, once they go into the u pull it yards, they don't come out whole. I've asked on more than one occasion about buying a "complete" car and was promptlly told "NO WAY, PARTS ONLY".

this one is far to nice to fall victim to the pick-a-part.  I think they might of known how rare of a car it was since the window said no parts and sell lot.

Looks good! Is the color dove grey? My grandfather had a 78 cougar that looked to be the same color. I like it.

Looking good :).

One of the guys in my local T-bird club has two of these. a 78 Town Landau and a 78 Sport Decor package. He actually daily drives the Town Landau, in Chicago. The "Sport" is the show car and has been restored back to factory appearance.

Hmm, fancy lookin' Cougar in a few of those pics. It's too bad that Cougar was faster than the T-Bird. Those T-Tops don't help with aerodynamics much :D
