dan i like your wheels are those hubcaps?

LOVE that Anniv, Dan!  Only one I've even seen in person was at a junk yard many years ago (long since crushed).  Yours looks to be in great shape!  Is that the factory option CB radio?  You've got one of the "high end" factory stereo's, too, right?  Per my owner's manual, I believe one could order a radio with an 8-track, IIRC.  =)  I picked up an original 1980 Thunderbird dealer brochure off eBay a while ago, let me know if you'd like a PDF copy of it.
 
FWIW, mine used to be 2-tone with a dark brown metallic bottom and a tanish-copper top (and landau vinyl).  Official Ford colors were chamois metallic and dark chamois metallic.

Thanks, the car is in very good shape, matter of fact it is all original. Paint is a bit thin in a few spots but I am hesitant to do anything to the car. The CB is factory. This car also has a factory moonroof which seems to be pretty rare on the Anniversary cars. As far as I can tell it has everything but the leather seats. Thanks for the offer on the brochure but the guy I got the car from had one from the original owner I even got lucky and got the original warranty card, the factory tag on the cb, the 1980 how to use your car tape, the manuals, and even the sleeve that goes on the visor to tell how to start the car and program the visor for your garage door. As far as seeing one they are few and far between I think there were only 1600+/- when they were new.
 
As far as the original poster saying he doesnt like the color of his car, I actually do. There is one in my small town here that is the same colors that I would like to get but the guy wants to much(so I shall wait). When I was in college in the late 80's I had a 59 Bird that was the same yellowish color so I guess that is where I started to like that color

Haha, from the pictures I've seen of everyone else's box bird, I'm convinced that mine got the WORST color scheme.  I will probably get the paint redone once I finish making a decision on how to power it.

Ditto on the fuel sending unit.  My gauge works, then it doesn't, then it does.  After half a tank, it fails completely.

Digital dash here. My gas gauge has never lit up since ive owned the car. Replaced the sending unit and still no light. Speedo works fine. Not sure if a cluster from a different year would work. I roll with a gallon of gas in the trunk, and I've had to use it a number of times lol.
