1987-1988 Thunderbird base, LX, Sport, or Cougar LS December 15, 2016, 06:12:48 PM So I'm kinda looking for an 87-88 Thunderbird base, LX, Sport, or Cougar LS. I don't care what engine, color, options, etc. Not even picky about rust or mileage. All I really care is if the body side moldings are straight, the belt moldings are straight, and the dash parts are good. Honestly I mostly want to buy the car and strip it for spare parts. So in other words a car that isn't in the greatest of shape that I can buy cheap and then s the shell. That is unless I can find all the stuff I want as spare parts without buying a whole car, which is becoming unlikely. And cheap means less than $1000, preferably a lot less Quote Selected

I'll bet if I hook up a battery and throw a few gallons of gas in her she'd fire right up.http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?34160-One-owner-%9288-LS-in-SW-VA-for-sale&p=394691&highlight=#post394691 Quote Selected

Not so much that the price is going up but that they are just hard to find in general. Quote Selected

I'm basing this on the value of other generations of Thunderbirds. The only valuable Thunderbirds are 55 to 57 cars, 58 to 66 convertibles, or 62 to 63 cars powered by M code 390ci 6bbl engines. Every other Thunderbird produced in decent condition can be had for less than $20k. Making them cheap as far as old cars go. Quote Selected

At least by general public and that's what it takes to make most "late" models valuable...The most valuable examples will be pristine originals, definitely not some hacked up, hot rodded version... There can be exceptions but that's maybe a .001% chance... Quote Selected
1987-1988 Thunderbird base, LX, Sport, or Cougar LS Reply #9 – December 26, 2016, 02:09:51 PM I agree, id rather they stayed cheap, and I know they will never have the following of the mustang. But there were a few tbirds raced and sone rare options. The car market is very fickle. Quote Selected
