Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums

72k Original Miles, 68k on ODO, gotta change the gear..

had a tune up before I bought it, new tires, radiator, radiator hoses, distributor, cap/rotor, oil always synthetic, new brakes all around.

After market Alpine radio, great sound system, clean sound, no pops or tearing.

Owned by 2 older people who couldn't handle 3 cars anymore, always had a towel on the backseat.

2 Owner car the first owner was a ford dealer that kept it as a loaner til 32k miles, full service records, always taken care of by previous owner, paint needs polishing, motor purrs like new, shifts like a dream..

Cleaned the engine bay the other day after I got the car the previous night, Washed it, used clay bar system, waxed it, leather cleaner, and conditioned, vacuumed with a high power vacuum.
Ice cold A/C even on 67 setting, even colder at 60, heat works, turns on a dime for a wider T-bird, better than my 88 Turbo Coupe.



Anyway.. here's all the pics, Enjoy!

I'd like to have that. Good looking car. I have an NOS set of door locks and ignition tumbler for that car with the keys. I forgot I had them until I saw this. LOL. I'll give you a thousand dollars for it.

I'm not selling it :o

Plus, I paid 2300..

I think you did good on $2300...its a nice bird...the 2.73 rear gear kinda do suck.....what are you thinking?  I would find 3.27...which should be everywhere...

Travis

I don't think  I'm going to mod it for a while, it's being a great daily driver atm, gotta work on the clear coat, gonna pick up some polishing compound tomorrow and go to work on it.

But down the line, I'm going to be putting some flowmaster lers, true dual if I have the cash for the piping. lol

aah the old Ford automatic seatbelts.. nice car and nice find!

Thanks

:tg:

Back in my HS days I kept a towel on my back seat:tg:


BTW nice car...

lol..

I like when people sit a car with ford auto seatbelts, when they go to get out their head gets dragged forward, funny as heck. One of those ideas that didn't really work so great.

Nice Thunderbird.

That little gear on the speedometer is fun to change. I had to do it to my 95 Thunderbird. I found an undamaged one at the junk yard for free and swapped the gear in.

I had them in a beater 88 Escort GT awhile back.  That drivers side belt had a date with a Buck knife one night after an evening of enjoying a few carbonated alcoholic beverages.
