So here is the deal I bought the car just for the motor but after getting it home and pressure from friends and family not to part it out the tbird lives to see another day .I just dont have the time now for this car .The car has zero rust new tires and battery drives straight .It does have some ses and scuffs from its 25 years of doing it daily dutys .The interior is clean original front mats the drivers seat has small tear on seam around seat belt holder nothing major.I will let the car go for what I paid for it nothing less and nothing more $4,450 .The car is as clean as it looks .Car is located in PORTLAND OR if you are local to the northwest I will consider trades.I will help with shipping any way I can

Yeah that is good info answer some of the questions .So I should just buy another car.I was hoping I could buy a set up out of a mustang the pedal the clutch cable and other B S.
So I had to buy some new rear brake pads and rotors from local AUTOZONE for the thunderbird .I was told on sunday 3/18/2012 they dont stock the rear pads for the disc brake setup .So I just order the rotors and was told they would be in on monday 3/19/2012 .After I get off work after 10hr day I drive over to my local autozone and try to pick up my parts .The manager yes I said manager was asking me what part I was looking for I respond and say my last name and description of the parts ROTORS .The manager looks the part up by the year and points to the screen and ask me is this the price I paid .At this point I am confused just get the damm part we go back and forth for a second or two and he ask me do I have my reciept .No no i dont have my reciept I left it in my other car he tells me he cant give the part because he can not prove I paid for it I ask no joke the manager yeah manager can you look it up he says no I asked again because I am after all the customer and for sure they have the technology to look it up the manager says no I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT . WTF are you kidding me so pissed off I drive across town get my reciept and drive back. Of course I am pissed but not yelling just fustrated by the stupidity and after dealing with the piss poor attitude. I wanted the managers name off of his name tag and as I was looking at the name tag and writing his name down the manager comes at me in a threating attitude and says if you want my name you have to ask.This guy was a ass what the hell has happened to customer service AUTOZONE needs to train there employees better I am done shopping there not worth the savings and the stupid people behind the counters . I will pay extra for my FOMOCo parts
Sorry cant find another way to post that pic .But the 1992 lincoln mark VIII came with auto trans and I wanted to keep it a stick so I bought the car gutted and sold everything I could the pain in the ass is the lincolns 4.6 has the intake on the back side it would not clear the fire wall so I hade to find mustang unit .I the proceeded to buy a wrecked 1994 cobra for the t5 I was told it would bolt up WRONG and I had bought a new clevis pedal assy I got from mustang steves that i never got to use but I bought the kit he sells to use cobra brakes front and rear looks sweet . I bought a trans for 1998 mustang and hydraulic clutch assy and that was the key I so wanted to run the rear end out of the lincoln so bad but the time and energy plus I know my fabbing limitations I am a electrical guy not a huge fabber.But like everything I have owned I sold it to finance my hobby/addiction .The camaro is sold to was a sweet low mileage 76k 1987 iroc z28 I go thru cars like people go thru underwear. And I wont even start on my ATV bikes I have gone thru not to mention trucks
Here are few more pics of the stang .As for the thunderbird always loved this body style in high school and I sold my commuter and saw this thunderbird for sale and like all my toys I had to have it but the problem is it is to nice to drive as a daily driver .I so wish it was a 5 speed this is just so gutless for me .
The autos were detuned from the factory. You would be surprised how much of a difference a t-5, manual boost controller, K&N cone, and a 3 inch exhaust would make!
Yeah thats fine but thats not for me I dont even want to touch it the way it is .I been made to feel guilty by my friends and wife they say the car is to nice to touch .But For some reason I have no problem yankin the motor and trans and replacing it with something else a 4.6 would be a cool swap and would look real nice .But for now it is safe my wife would be pissed
Very clean car, it would be a shame to chop that one. Welcome to the site
I dont have to cut it up but it does need some horsepower. I feel more guilty modifying the car the way it sits .It is stock stock stock but I am chompin at the bit to start tweakin things and the #1 thing is that motor .But my wife is holding me back and wont let me touch it she is just in love with the car .If this freaks you out you should have saw the 1992 MARK VIII with 53k on it that I yanked the motor and drive train out of for my mustang .
