If only it wasn't 134 miles away :(
That's not to far for True Love.
Hmm...

Never really cared for those.:hick:
I agree, IF that's really your ONLY obstactle, that's a sorry excuse ;)

Go get it.
My vert was 1000 miles away, and I got it back here one way or another.
Make sure it has everything for the hardtop- the removal tool, the stand, the cover, and the boot.
Nice car with a Jag V8 too
I try my best to pretend these were never made, myself. :P They go up for sale quite often, and they just keep getting cheaper. If it's too far, just wait for one to show up closer.
I really like those but $39 grand was rediculous when they were new. That one's color is especially nice.
Pretty much. I'd have to empty a CD but that's it. If that one in NC was closer I'd be at the lot today.
Unfortunately, a lot of thunderbird people don't even recognize our cars as t-birds. I've heard many people refer to them as "Orphan Years". Whatever, I don't care, I like my thunderbird daily driver. lol
if thats how they refer to another thunderbird then they are really not thunderbird people.:flip:
What people are you haning out with? The snobs who think T-birds were last produced in 1966? ;) Most T-bird guys like all T-birds.
You know I've thought about getting a two seat T-bird for a dd when my 95 s out. The problem is I think I'd rather have a Marauder as it has a bigger engine, more room, and looks a lot more sinister:evilgrin:
Those just never did it for me.
The first link doesn't work for me, but the second one does. I've never driven one of those new birds, so I don't know if I'd want one or not. I do like the looks of most of them, some are better than others. Color really plays a big role. The one in the second link looks pretty sharp to me.
I'd just get a cheap used jag... Maybe throw thunderbird rims on it.
My dad has an '05 T-Bird. We were considering XK8's at one point but we were told that the engine became costly to maintain. As far as driving the T-Birds goes, to me they feel confining with the top up but they're great with the top down. The only real gripe I have is that the vast majority have an all-black interior, which is one reason I really like the second one I linked.
The XK8's engine has a larger displacement of 4.2L instead of 3.9L in your dad's T-bird, but otherwise it is essentially the same engine.
I don't know if the Jag's have the same coil issues as the Ford version does, but that is the only issue that I know of.
My 2004 Lincoln LS with the 3.9L has had 4 of it's coils replaced under warranty and it has about 43k miles on it. Ford has acknowledged that there is a coil failure problem and as such has extended the warranty on them to 100k miles.
Whether it be the T-Bird or the Jag, I wouldn't let a small road trip of 134 miles get in the way of getting what you really want.

Only issue with the 04 here has been after storing all winter the battery will be dead. Knock on wood no coil issues as of yet. Personal opinion, car looks very sharp with hardtop on, just watch your blind spots. Its a fun car to drive but it is small.
