Louvers anyone? A rare set of 83-86 Bird Louvers (not mine)

Quote from: free1986;1637759
I have a set of plastic louvers and mounting hardware for a 1983-1986 Thunderbird with all mounting hardware.  They may fit other cars as well, I'm not sure.  They are in great shape with no chips or cracking that I can see.  I'm not exactly sure what these are worth, so $200 obo shipped the the continental US? Also available for pickup near Aiken, SC 29803.









Mounting hardware will need new 3M tape or similar.  They stick to the back glass and the louvers have quarter turn locks that fit into them, so the louvers can be removed easily to clean the back glass.

Here they are on the car I removed them from.  They look much better on black cars like this one:http://turbotbird.com/showroom/data_e-j/harvey_vance_84tc.php

I think these cars don't look right with louvers. Too aerodynamic, too curved. Fox Mustangs and other boxy hatchbacks, however...

I would love to have louvers!  Just not that kind.  The sides being stepped like that is horrible.

I'm changing my mind. For some reason, I didn't see the picture of it on the red car. That looks like . And my car is red. Fugidaboutit.  The black car's louvers are way nicer.
