79 Thunderbird t-top December 27, 2010, 09:07:06 PM since this is a place where we all love thunderbirds and cougars, I thought I would share what I have been looking into buying. It's a 79 thunderbird with t-tops like the title says and is everything I have been looking for in a late 70's bird. now apon seeing the pics give your opinions on what you think such car is worth keep in mind that t-tops were only available in 78 and 79 also there were only about 600 or so built per year.
