since this is a place where we all love thunderbirds and cougars, I thought I would share what I have been looking into buying. It's a 79 thunderbird with t-tops like the title says and is everything I have been looking for in a late 70's bird. now apon seeing the pics give your opinions on what you think such car is worth keep in mind that t-tops were only available in 78 and 79 also there were only about 600 or so built per year.

It looks to be in really nice shape. I like it. I'm not sure of the value I guess in a way it's up to how much you're willing to pay. Are the numbers on the side for an auction or something?
the guy said he bought it from a junk yard to use as a parts car for his 77 but since parts are similar but different he cant use them. Car is complete, runs and drives
also he doesnt want a whole lot and I will not pass it up ;)
oh yes !! i want one too and i would put a 460 in it too :burnout:
I have wanted to do that, unfortunately I dont know what engine this car has as of yet. not a big deal I am after the car as a whole.
i believe they came with the 351
If you can get it for a good price I'd jump on it. My Grandfather had a 79 Cougar, man that was a nice car.
He is asking $800. I have a 79 cougar as well see my signature
I'd get it for 800!
Looks like a pretty nice car for $800.:D
That sounds like a great price for it. You must have alot of space for all those cars. That's a nice collection.
i've had a couple of those old panthers. 77 ranchero, and 79 t-top tbird
and my best friend in HS drove a super clean 78 cougar
Looks pretty decent for the money. How's the interior?
not real sure about the interior, but from what the guy told me the car is in really nice shape. I know I shouldnt trust word of mouth but for some reason I trust this guy.
privacy fence and a garage + big yard ;) wife told me no more unless it was the bird I was looking for and this is the car :D:D
did your tops leak? and anything else you can tell me that I should know about them?
I only had that one a short time, but the only leak I remember was with the high pressure spray at the carwash
Privacy fences are great! I have cool neighbors so so far no one has complained about me bringing a car in to strip once in a while. I have a sport sitting here now. It's nice to have an understanding wife, mines very supportive as long as I'm not taking money from bills.
I'm jealous, lol
I didn't know those even came with Ttops, much less ttops combined with a vinyl top. You learn something new every day....
do a google search, there is alot to be learned :)
