per coolcats, not quite sure if it applies to tbirds, but I would assume so....
"Unfortunately, short of swapping in 1985-86 taillights, there's not much else that can be done. By the way, I did swap those over once. You really have to hack up your taillight mounting panel something fierce to get them to mount correctly. Plus you have to reroute and splice in some wiring. Don't let anyone tell you that it can't be done because it can...it's just not pretty in the process."

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
