Oh no, filas gonna poop. Reply #4 – July 18, 2007, 01:19:24 AM I see that 88 TC's can go for 10k, why not a Fila. It looks to be near virgin. Mine I'll give it to you, it's a peice-o-shiznit but it's mine. I'm proud of it. I will probaly never sell it. However what a GOOD example of one is worth. I feel about 5k is a good price. $8000 is pushing it even for me though Quote Selected

Reply #8 – July 18, 2007, 12:58:41 PM Quote from: 84 Fila;161588I see that 88 TC's can go for 10k, why not a Fila.That's what im wondering...For every 10-15 TC's theres like 1 Fila?...And thats not the best pic, But it looks very straight and clean still and has just over 55k original on an '84!?.Guess it's just a matter of popularity? Turbo versus 302... Quote Selected
Oh no, filas gonna poop. Reply #9 – July 18, 2007, 02:27:19 PM Not even that. The Fila isn't as popular. No one knows exactly how many there are. They are worth what you are willing to pay for them. I just wish they got a bit more respect from the Cougar and TC club Quote Selected
Oh no, filas gonna poop. Reply #10 – July 18, 2007, 03:30:49 PM Basically to most people theyre just another 5.0 bird. And thinking basically, 5.0 birds are less unique than a 2.3 turbo bird. Quote Selected
Oh no, filas gonna poop. Reply #11 – July 18, 2007, 03:33:28 PM Very true. But it's not everyday you see a car ( not all had but some do) with white leather, flat white-ish paint. The black under molding is black like TC's. Body color grill to boot. Also for the record not all Fila's were 5.0's, there are 3.8 ones that I know of. Mine just happenes to be a 302. But above all that, they should still be worth a bit more, in my eyes, because they are still a high option car. Dual power seats, Preimum sound, power mirrors, power antenna, tripmeter. It's all stuff mine had. I'm not saying they are made of gold, just not sure why everyone thinks down upon them Quote Selected

I'm not saying they are made of gold, just not sure why everyone thinks down upon themEasy, because even a loaded FILA doesn't match a 83-86 TC, let alone an 87-88.83-86 TC standard:3.47 trac-loc 7.5" rear with 10" drumsquad shocksBig front and rear sway barsQuick-ratio steering rack5-Speed Manual transfoglampsA/C87-88 TC standard:3.55 trac-loc 8.8" rear with 10.5"-ish discsquad shocksEven Bigger front and rear sway barsQuick-ratio steering rack5-Speed Manual transABS11" front discsAdjustable Ride Controlfoglampspower windows/locks/mirrorsinterior light groupA/C16" wheelsYou see where I'm going with this? The TC was the top price-point on the TBird side, so it's got the exclusivity of being the "top-of-the-line" model. You want to talk about options? Look at Layla:dual power seatspower windows/locks/mirrors/antennakeyless entryilluminated locksdual illuminated visorsinterior light group (kick panel lights, glovebox light, c-pillar lights)carpeted floor matscornering lampspower moonroofleather interiorclearcoat metallic paintauto-dim headlightselectronic climate control (EATC)premium sound with equalizerplus all the standard TC stuff...Look, FILA's are "more rare" and "more special" then base models or elan's. But they are not TC's. If you want a real gauge, look at the 30th Anniversary TBird's from 85. Rarer then FILA's, far more "known" about and respected. Their prices are all over, but "drivers" and even low-milers, unless 100% mint with the jacket/certificate/floormats, go for peanuts. There's one for sale in my town for $1895 with no bites, and it has nothing wrong. FILA's will be less then 30ths. When 30ths get to all be worth $$$, then FILA's will probably come up.

Oh no, filas gonna poop. Reply #14 – July 18, 2007, 04:41:05 PM I understand that Mike. I'm not trying to start a shiznit-storm. I just don't see why to the right person they can't be worth money. I know very well 30th's are rare and can go for money. Why I think Fila'a are rare is because not one person has givin me a solid number made yet. There could be the 40-odd I have found/heard about total or 400,000 of them. No one knows. Thats why I like mine. It's different, and I'm one of the few who have one AND know alittle about it Quote Selected
