In that case the fact that it has an automatic wouldn't bother me. Quote Selected

Everything is old and never used and dried up. and for $12,000 you could buy something thats going to appreciate in value. Quote Selected

For me it would be just back and forth to shows or a pleasure drive, not make it a daily driver. Heck I'm lucky if I put 1500 miles on my Thunderbird in a year.... It may require some seals/gaskets/hoses to be replaced but that's ok. It would be cheap in the grand scheme of things. Quote Selected

It would be cheap in the grand scheme of things.True, It's a nice car, if you want to take it to shows, etc. I dunno, for that price, it should need nothing for a loooong time. You could spend half that and get a nice car that needs a few things, and the car will only have 60-70k miles on it. It's a nice car, and it's probably worth the $9,100 it sold for. Personally, I wouldn't have paid that for it. Quote Selected

1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 5,580 ORIGINAL MILES Reply #11 – October 06, 2015, 10:03:27 PM Value is relative, and something is worth only what someone feels its worth spending. The assumption is that all car buyers are motivated by investment thinking, but i think that is largely untrue. I have collected many kinds of things over my life, and rarely was future value the driving force behind my tastes and desire to own/collect. People with the cash to buy cars today, are mid 30's to mid 40's for the most part as that group is settled down, family oriented, generally financially able to collect, and wanting what was cool from their era of growing up. I am 47. I thought muscle cars were cool cause as a 10 year old kid in 1977, every badass kid i knew older than me drove one. Fast forward 10 years and the cool cars of the 80's were few and far between, but to someone of that era growing up, although cool, 60's-70's muscle has lost some of its appeal to buyers who have no emotional stake in the cars. Their cool uncle or older brother may have drove a camaro, Fox Mustang or Grand National, so perceptions of cool differ by era and age group. The really old antique cars of the 20's, 30's and 40's to average joe buyers have almost no appeal unless gramps was a car guy who you did sunday drives and parades with. Its just the ebb and flow of collecting. All that being said, i love me a unicorn of a car, and almost new low miler with an Auto trans is freaking cool in my opinion, and a very cool discussion starter. Quote Selected
