Depends on how bad you want it, and how hard it is to find one in your area. 5 years ago I paid $3k for my rust-free, 47k mile (at the time) 88 5.0 Thunderbird and was glad to have the opportunity since such a find is very rare around here.

I'd probably pay upwards of $4k for a mint, low-mile four-eye, but it'd have to be nearly perfect.

86 is a great year IMO.  4 eye looks with SEFI.  I would be willing to pay $3000.

Ooh, and an almost-no-option car to boot. It's got the only important one, A/C. Nice find...
