Craigslist Find 1984 T-bird

http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/1358904326.html

1984 Ford Thunderbird
59,000 miles second owner, runs but has electrical short
Tires in new condition

I found this on Craigslist with no phone number for $550.  He called me and said he will be out of town till Friday.  He said that if he leaves the batter hooked up it will drain it overnight.  I know I can figure this one out.  He said it was his uncle's car and he is sure about the mileage but it has a bad headliner.  I said it must be a V6 and he said no it's an eight.

I need this like a hole in my head but I though maybe I can make a buck.

This is what I consider low mileage.

had the same problem with my 84 3.8...... it was the external alternator voltage regulator (it's a box under the starter solenoid)... it's like $17 at advance or auto zone.

people will replace the alt and give up... back then the regulator was seperate


OOOH!!!  I'm a Eco Hypermiler :burnout: Not bad for 79mph on the interstate 2hours a day

Thanks for this, I just assumed it was an internal reg.  I guess I work on too many GM.
