I mean, these cars are getting harder and harder to find, especially in great shape with really low miles. You may look back in another year or two on that "too much" statement and and think twice.

I'd pay $5k for a near perfect example of a four eye Bird regardless of engine. It's getting so it'd be worth $5k for me to have a rust free body and spotless interior to start out with, and the engine would be immaterial because no matter what it was it'd be yanked and replaced with something decent (because, unfortunately, these cars were not available with a decent engine in any form - sorry, TC guys, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it)...Mind, the car I'd pay that much for would have to be "ideal", meaning it'd have certain things in addition to the rust free body, such as TC bumper (if not a TC), vent windows, leather, and most certainly A/C. Being already upgraded to at least an HO and T5 wouldn't hurt either... Quote Selected

Reply #7 – October 10, 2011, 07:46:09 PM i'm sticking with not being worth what he's asking.. the 3.8 cars won't see the value that the 5.0 and TC's will.. maybe in 5 years or so it will be worth that much for it's clean body and interior, but i just don't see it now.. me and david (MY83T) had a convo about this before.. the base cars are only going to be worth a fraction of what the TC's and 5.0 cars will be Quote Selected

The Sports, I believe, were the rarest of them.Well, by rare, I mean they made less of them than the rest. Quote Selected

Reply #9 – October 10, 2011, 08:37:04 PM There's a 20th anny in I dunno Illinois or wherever it's in that's been listed on ebay like 4 times in a row, the last couple of weeks he hasn't re-listed it. But each time the bid went no higher than $3k. I think the last time it faltered at like 2,500!! 50k on it, claimed never seen rain, etc. A low-optioned one but really nice. There's one in about the middle of this state that seems in about the same condition, on CL, for the last year and a half I've seen it listed for $3950. Just dropped his price to $3700. I'm kinda surprised these two aren't asking in the range of that T-bird. I'm thinking of snapping up that one near me pretty soon, once some space becomes available. Quote Selected

Reply #10 – October 10, 2011, 08:40:55 PM sports will more than likely end up with about the same value as tc's at some point, especially since you'll see a sport in the junkyard before you see a tc.. most tc's are saved by people who have some common knowledge of fords Quote Selected

Reply #13 – October 10, 2011, 09:27:07 PM KBB is inaccurate, NADA is better.. but the problem is, to the average used car buyer, at this point and time, it's just an 80's car. that's what those sites are based on, what the average consumer should pay,ask for. to us, the bird/cat enthusiasts, the cars have more value, especially our personal cars. luckily, the fan base is starting to grow as some ford guys are getting tired of their mustangs. that is both a good and bad thing for us. the more people interested, the higher the prices go. on the good side of things, more of these cars will be saved from the crusher.. unfortunately, it's a little late for some that have already met their demise Quote Selected

I almost settled on this bird T-Bird Link Before i bought mine but i couldn't get past the read interior. IMO $5800 is more than i would pay for a 3.8 considering what you can get in that price range. Quote Selected
