He's probabally refering to the 80-82 birds going from 350,000 79 models sold to 65,000? 1980 models (couldnt find the right book...) pissed off a lot of the old guys (who these cars were marketed towards) who whined and continue to whine about its 'fairmont styling' Theres no love for these cars and even less for the 'box birds' get used to it, thats part of the reason I love these cars.

I've owned 3 box birds:D

Tom has probably owned 85%


 :bs: The number is more like 84.6328%  :D

I did a nose count over on the old Sleasy Board, but it fell victim to the 20 page limit... Best I can tell the total is some where around 275-300 and a couple more than once.

how can this guy talk about "downsizing" t-birds when the late 60 birds were like 300 times the size of the original t-bird?? man on man. talk about someone talk straight of their rear...

these 80's dogs were the first cars with "aero" design and were some of the sportiest looking cars to come out of the american 80's auto market. no  bubbles, or pink, or huge fins, they went back to t-bird basics, or "we are a sporty couple with a refined taste"
so there mr. know nothing.
