79 Thunderbird t-top

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.

It looks to be in really nice shape. I like it. I'm not sure of the value I guess in a way it's up to how much you're willing to pay. Are the numbers on the side for an auction or something?

the guy said he bought it from a junk yard to use as a parts car for his 77 but since parts are similar but different he cant use them. Car is complete, runs and drives

If you can get it for a good price I'd jump on it. My Grandfather had a 79 Cougar, man that was a nice car.

That sounds like a great price for it. You must have alot of space for all those cars. That's a nice collection.

not real sure about the interior, but from what the guy told me the car is in really nice shape. I know I shouldnt trust word of mouth but for some reason I trust this guy.
