1950 is worth it.

Id pay up to probably 5K for a nice, low mile bird in mint shape if the right one came along.

Hard to say in the pics but if it's rust free, runs smooth and looks as clean as you say I'd pay it. Just generally they go for around $1500 and below.

How many miles?

11/84 would make it an 85 wouldnt it?

I could be way off here, but I thought the '85 TCs would have the red-lined mouldings, TurboCoupe nameplate in the door moulding, and ten-hole wheels.

In other words, I'm thinking it's an 84 as Chuck stated.

But I'll defer to the experts for the final buttstuffysis. :D

It looks like an 84 because of the Bird on the grill. An 85 TC should have 10 holes if I remember correctly.

Easy way to tell is if it has the 85 and (same as the 87-88 TC dash) up dash. If it does someone swapped the grill and wheels to 84 pieces.

Its an 84. It has Halo headrests, 83-84 style lights, amber turn signal lenses, and what appears to be a flat style dash.
