Title: 79 Tbird, T-tops, 351W
Post by: Demented2.3T on May 04, 2006, 06:03:09 PM
Im posting this for a local guy. I thought there might be some interest in it over here. This is not mine but if you reply here i will relay the info to him untill i get his e-mail address. You can also see his add for it at
http://www.streetracingdayton.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16579

$350

He says it has new brakes, calipers and pads. It is currently down due to fuel delivery. he says it will run off starting fluid or if you run a line to a can from the fuel pump but for some reason its not getting fuel from the tank. here are a couple pics

wow, thats a blast from the past. i had one of these cars a long time ago. it had a rough life and had a badly knockin 351W/FMX combo when i got it. originally dark blue and tan, somone had painted it black and dyed the interior black as well.
i swapped in a 400/C6 combo from my old 77 ranchero and sold it after cruisin it for a summer with the tops out.

fun car, good luck to the seller.

I'd be all over this if I were closer as well. 350 is  cheap for a t-top bird its worth much much more.....

i don't know if looking into shipping across the country would be worth it but i know if he doesn't sell it it will die a crushing death more than likely

Shipping it across the country would probably cost a lot more than double the price of the car.  It is a sweet machine, though.  I'll have one someday.  If I had a nice powerstroke truck and a gooseneck trailer, I'd be on my way to Dayton.

Fix it and drive it back, if all else fails tape a motorcycle tank to the roof and your set! ( a friend actually bought a car like this before, did work though )

a motorcycle tank at 15 mpg highway?  have to stop every 30 miles to fill it up.  need something like an 8 gallon boat tank or bigger
