If only I had the cash... June 10, 2005, 12:52:34 AM I'd be picking this cherry up:1985 T-bird on eBay I put a watch on it just to see how much it goes for. No doubt the owner probably wants a lot more than any T-bird enthusiast has. He sounds an awful lot like the guy selling that Automatic TC a while back, wanted $10k or it or something. I'd almost feel bad modding a car like that, but it seems like it's the only way I'd be able to get a rust free car to start on. In a couple years though, the harsh reality is that I'm going to have to find another car because the rust on the '85 I have now will take over. Facts is facts, kids.... when you live in the rust belt, there's no saving a car that's already got the "malignancy." I just need to have Tom pick me up a nice rust-free Virginia car Quote Selected

I just need to have Tom pick me up a nice rust-free Virginia car There is a definate possibility I will be selling the base '88(probably minus engine and trans). It is rust free(needs paint clear coat peeling), and already has a TC front brakes, 8.8" 3.55 rear, and buttstuffogue cluster. Quote Selected

Looks queer no matter what. The only cars that I thought got stand-up ornaments were '83 Cougars. Quote Selected
Re: If only I had the cash... Reply #8 – June 10, 2005, 03:20:23 PM No aerobird ever had the ornament. Its amazing how the cleanest cars usually have some strange dealer/owner installed quirk on it. Then again, who else would buy a $13000 car and never use it! She'd have been better off taking the cab. :) Quote Selected
Re: If only I had the cash... Reply #9 – June 10, 2005, 04:00:26 PM Had a guy near my house once who had a black loaded 88 XR7 with 5,000 miles on it. That's right 5,000! He was seling it and he wanted $15,000 for it. Needless to say I didn't buy it but man it was a sweet car. Quote Selected
Re: If only I had the cash... Reply #10 – June 10, 2005, 04:47:25 PM Not too long ago there was a red 83-86 Bird on eBay with something along the lines of 39 miles on it. Never titled, always kept in a climate controlled garage. I never did see what it went for or if the reserve was met or not... Quote Selected
