Gonna keep the stock rims but there is some weather checking starting so will just use them on special occasions. And @ $400+ per tire for the trx's I dont see a new set in the near future.

Chuck, wana buy some uber rare winter tires? Lol

Agree, my bird ruined it for every other car I have ever owned, none of them are as comfy as my birdy! tbirdscott, I have never seen the light up dash script, that. is. awesome....I'm assuming it was an option back then?

I cant wait to get home and go through all my brochures and literature and see which options it does/doesnt have on it. Never seen the light up dash and digital gauges outside of the brochures but remember seeing a car with the carrige lamps about 15 years ago from the back of my moms car lol

The seats are awesome, they dont have the plastic trim and cubby hole under the arm rests which I expected. Crawled underneath to poke around and it has the aluminum front bumper, out of the 5 cars i have had this is the second to have it, other car was an 81 base model. And another oddity of these cars is the opera window trim is urethane where the other cars all had plastic trim. The more of these cars i see the more differences I find.

Looks great. A nice score as well. You don't find many 30+ year old cars in that kind of shape. It's been years since I've seen a box-fox T-bird in person.

Both of mine have an aluminum front bumper too, I always thought that was standard.

Weird, maybe the steel bumpers are the odd ones then.

Anything is possible, these cars seem to have come with more options than Carter has liver pills, both of mine have pretty well no options outside 302, AOD & A/C, one had an 8-track (which still works) so I keep learning of new options all the time for these cars

If it werent for the bird I woulda been driving my 87 Turbo Sprint so I can safely assume the Thunderbird saved mine and my gf's life tonight.

Bird vs Moose

X

I got some scratches on my forehead and nose from the windsheild. My gf got it worse, moose head or leg caught her in the face, chipped a couple teeth and face/knuckles cut up from glass. People from 4km down the highway came rushing, said the bang was so loud it sounded like a head on.
