Value of 1984 T-Bird, 47,000 original miles April 05, 2009, 06:54:03 PM I need your feedback on a 1984 T-Bird I looked at today. The car was purchased here in Florida, has no rust anywhere, yellow in exterior color (car needs a good cleaning inside & out), power options include: windows, locks, driver seat, mirrors, trunk relase, PS, PB, AC; 3.8 litre V-6, 47,000 original miles authenticated by clean Florida title, no oil drips or leaks. Regular maintenance; The car drives smooth, tranny shifts smooth; weatherstripping needs to be changed out as do the tires. To be really nice, it needs a fresh coat of base coat/clear/coat (which I can do). What would you you be willing to pay if you had the cash? Thanks or your feedback. Tim Quote Selected

Value of 1984 T-Bird, 47,000 original miles Reply #13 – April 07, 2009, 05:38:12 PM Honestly? Contrary to popular vote here on a T-Bird web site, I wouldn’t give you 1k for it. Not trying to sound like a dick but you asked “What would you you be willing to pay if you had the cash?” ! What are the possible uses for that car? As a low mile collector car THEN it has some value, but then you need to find a collector, IF you find a collector, that has $ then the sky is the limit. I seen a REAL NICE one on e-bay for Buy it now $7500.I see 2 hours left and it looks to have NO bids. As a Daily Driver… for 2-3k you can find good economical Hondas and Toyotas etc with twice the reliability, twice the gas mileage and half the age (read seals still ok) why would one spend 2k+ on a 24 year old gas hog for a DD? So what’s left?The elite few on this site, that all already have their bird’s and cat’s that like to think there’s are worth more than they actually are on the open market.Here is another on e-bay, not as nice as the one you show.. but a Buy it now of $500, Starting bid of $400. 4 days left and NO bids. here is another.. this one looks as if it could be nearly as nice (no millage listed however) as the one your showing http://salem.craigslist.org/cto/1082975431.html$600.
