Your car remindes me that I need to get off my butt and re-finish the TC Snowflake wheels I have so I can get them on my T-bird.

Welcome to the group. Don't suppose that is the one that was on C/L a while back, I think in the Sacramento area? Looks sweet.

Lots of nice Tbirds/Cougars here. Yes, Eskimo.... I picked this up in CA gold country (Diamond Springs) from CL. It was a Northern CA car. Now a Northern NV car. Been driving to work everyday, great having it all registered, smogged, and insured now in NV. I'm very proud to be in it during the morning commute and drive home.

This is my first project car that just needs a lot of TLC and bolt-on upgrades. I'm used to the complete resurrections, so this one is gonna be fun.

Welcome! Sharp car, very sharp. I think an 87/88 TC hood on there would help set it off. My $.02. That's one good thing about this forum. We are happy to share our opinions even when we weren't asked. That's just the kind of guys we are. :D

I swear, I painted my Torino before that movie came out. Don't know who that one belongs too, some guy in the Detroit area.

Cheers.


That car in the movie was bought new in Springfield Missouri and stayed in that area and restored in around 2000 and then sold on ebay and was bought by by a company called Salt City Classic and Muscle from Utah. Then Larry Stelling bought it to use in the movie for Clint Eastwood and apparantly Clint wants them to hang onto it! 
All according to an article in the Fairlane club of America's magazine.

salt city classics is selling a 1987 thunderbird with 45,000 miles on it for $9,500 I think. I posted a craigslist ad a couple of weeks ago.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
