Look at the 10 year difference

Geordans sounds like pop cans..mines mellow and deep

, much more of a difference than if you were to put a '97 Bird next to your car.

From 57 to 67 to 77 to 87 to 97, considering everything (looks, technology, materials, etc) I wonder which 10-year difference would be the most over the others for the TBird.
"lol.. because not too many people care for that style of car"

I guess that makes it easy to see how much advanced our 'Aero' birds and cats were for thier time.

WOW,big difference !!!!I like that body style.They're getting hard to find also.Tell him to fix his headlight doors.On the driver's side fenderwell,towards the front,there's a small little "disc" with two vaccuum lines in,and two out.Inside that little disc (it twists to manually open the doors incase of a problem),there are two tiny O-rings.replace them and there you are.I had three of those 'Birds.All had the same problem.

My uncle had a black '78 Bird with a tan interior. Wish he still had it.
After owning it since new, he sold it to a junkyard for $25 in 1995.
