84 Thunderbird 70K miles

I can't say that I've ever seen one in this beige color. It looks to be in amazing condition.

Anyone notice that more clean/low mileage cars tend to be V6 cars and not V8 or Turbo Coupes? This is another example.

Yeah people bought 'em thinking they'd get away with an enjoyable car and excellent fuel mileage. They got neither so it became an ornament LOL

2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC

Yeah...I'm so used to my own grandmother, who now being almost 90 has finally stopped driving in even light snowfall for only the past few years. She drove her '86 Town Car from new until 2004. A repair shop didn't want to put it on the lift because the frame was so badly rotten...

My grandfather drove till he was 91. Then his eyesight got worse and he stopped. So yeah when I come across elderly people who can't/won't drive it surprises me a bit.
