Man it sucks when you're not rich......

This is 15 minutes from my house. It's the exact T-bird I have been looking for. It has the right color, top, and wheel covers.  I wish I was rich :hick:

I remember being in the back seat of one as a kid, saying that one day I would have a car like this. those curved back seats are cool.

I've always loved the lines of the 70-71 T-birds with the fastback roof. It just looks so  shagy. Man I really wish I could afford this car:D

Lou , Let's be honest you would only drive that T-Bird on warm sunny days and park it in your garage the rest of days and winter time. And then put plastic down to make sure nobody brought any dirt into it. :)

What's wrong with that?  So long as he enjoys it once in a while.  I do that now with the Mustang....

The only way to keep a car nice is to drive it sparingly and clean it after every drive. I do that with my 88. It's a pain but it's worth it. I just wish I could afford that '70 :D
