my new birdy :)

well i was surfing thru some cars for sale online and ran across this... managed to talk the guy down to $650 and i saved it from the derby from what i understand :)

i know shes not a fox but big girls need love too :)
shes a 1976 tbird with the 460 engine and c6 trans nice inside and out.... totaly worth the $650 i gave for her. :)

Sinister black! Looks good for 36 years old and the price was right.

Very nice, even power vent window option. What are your plans with it if I may ask? Had a 76 here a couple years ago and I wouldnt mind another of these big boats. Wanna sell it?

Nice score :).

I know a couple who bought a 76 brand new and have had it ever since. If you happen to own a copy (or borrow it from your local library) of Thunderbird Fifty Years by Alan H. Tast their car is on pages 112-113.

Good score for that amount of money. 

I can't stand demo derbies.  Those derby guys would have no problem gutting it and busting out the windows so they could smash it into oblivion!

Man that is a big car...about 200hp from the low compression/smog 460.  Nice score for the money.  Hell it is about worth that in s.
