Me and my 83 Thunderbird 5.0 Heritage (taken 1987)

Hi all, im new to this forum, but actively post on the TorinoCobra forum for my 1970 Torino GT Convertible, but i thought it was time my T-Bird got some attention.  This is a shot of me and my car in 1987.  Still have it and it still runs.  Needs paint, but interior is in nice shape.  All options but Moonroof.  Even has the original TRX wheels. My pic has American Racing Outlaw II wheels on the car back then.

Oooooooh I am soooo jealous! I have loved the 70-71 Torinos for a looong time. Welcome to the site! Where did you find that hood tach (Is that what that is?).

Thanks for the kind words......the hood tach was made by Dixco and added by the dealerships, but they were never factory installed. They had small ribbon tach's as a factory option, but they were small and poorly designed and placed.  As for updated shots of the T-Bird, i have the car in dry storage, but i will try and get to it over the next few weeks and get you guys some pics.  David

Who says? I still wear aviators, and was looking for a jacket similar to that when I had my Mustang.

The pic is awesome.
It's Gumby's fault.
