Looking to rescue a 'Bird... November 01, 2004, 04:28:25 PM My stepson gets his license in December or January. I'd really like to find him a Fox 'Bird (or Cougar) for his first car. Has to be a V6 and has to be cheap... needs work is ok, he needs to learn to maintain a vehicle. I need something that's driveable though, I know how to work on one and have enough projects in the driveway to last until - ??. I figure I'll be "buying" it from him in a year or so. He says he really wants an El Camino so I also have an ulterior motive I guess. If anyone knows where there's a neglected specimen in Florida (or anywhere I can drive it back to FL) post up here. If it's a light blue 86 with a blue interior (like the one I loved and the ex wife wrecked) I might even kick a small finder's fee your way. Quote Selected

Re: Looking to rescue a 'Bird... Reply #5 – December 14, 2004, 09:21:54 PM I'd probably have taken it off your hands PonyMan but I found a pretty decent Taurus for him.... Only one Fox T'Bird for sale within 200 miles of me for the 2 months I was looking. The blue/blue is going to have to wait unless it's the exact car I want... '93 needs head gaskets first.
