Since you're changing the interior and other stuff, will you keep the stock color once the rust repair is done?

Me too! My first cougar was the same color. It also had the red interior (Take that Jcassity :hick: ). Sold it back to my parents after doing some minor mods to it because they needed a second car. They sold it to my stepsister's husband a year later who then wrecked it

not that bad. the quarter panel is a pain, and the heater core will be a good weekend workout, but not to bad over all. Straight body little rust, and if it runs you got a pretty good deal.

Sorry... Guess I'm just spoiled by our rust free cars...

Seriously though, Tom if there's such good sheetmetal over there, keep me in mind, I could use some rust free quarters for my bird. I'll even drive there to get them.

$200? Not bad at all. You're braver than I. I'd end up, as bad as it is, using the car for parts. Now if it was a 30th anny bird... I'd make an exception.

you mean like this one?!! :D
well the body is pretty solid, it needs a drivers fender and a header panel to be really straight. Also the motor runs great, I took it for a short spin, and the tranny shifts great :D . This car was assembled in 4/87, and sold 4/30/87 weird thing is my birthday is 4/30

guess it was meant to be.

Mmmmm. I got to see my first 30th anniversary in person the other day. A guy came into the gas station with a mostly-primered '85 Thunderbird, but I saw the blue grille poking out and knew what it was. I asked him about it, and as the story usually goes, he found it in an old lady's barn. Thankfully he was repainting it the same color. Next time I see him I should direct him to this site

You and those purple turbines. :D

Aren't the special memory seat switch panels in the 20th door panels?

You found a keeper, that's for sure. I would have bought that for $200 in a heartbeat. Nice find.

I guess that was optional, because this car only has the "heated" seats, not the memory.
Yea lol, I'm gonna get some wheel paint and do something different with the turbines. :D
