WTB 83-86 T-bird in Ohio

March 04, 2006, 03:05:40 PM

I'm in central ohio and i'm looking for a T-bird with good interior/exterior and prefered to run. Don't matter what model just looking for something that looks good, aka good body, good interior! Motor work isn't a problem i'll make her run if she don't! And i'm looking to pay under a 1000 bucks...

And if ya wanna just post t-birds you find in ohio that's fine. I'm open to thinking about an 87-88 bird. Since alot of us are from ohio, i hope this thread will be bumpin. If not, i will just continue to drive my beater and put good parts on it, and not worry about it's looks until i can find that donor car someday.

Hey John! So your starting a new project? Up at the Don Wood dealer by walmart there is an 84 Cougar that needs some TLC. Its white, sits in the back of the lot. Also there is a hole in the wall dealer across the road from the movie theater in nelsonville, there is a red 88 cougar like mine there. Don't think you dig the cougars though. If I see any birds I will let you know, or call Kim so she can tell you. I don't know how to get ahold of you anymore.?

Sorry I never responded to your p/m, I kinda forgot.

that's right claude! better say sorry! Don't worry once it warms up a bit we're going fishing... and i may check out that nelsontucky one but the DW car sux...

And the only reason i want this new project is because i'm sick of my car vibrating on the highway... so i'm looking for something that's not boogered to hell.

edit: and i'd prefer a t-bird cause for two years i've been wanting to get a t-bird logo tattoo on my back and i can't cruise in the summer without my shirt in a cougar...

Yes... it is very nice but i'm a firm believer in the value of a T-bird... That one, i'd give 1900 for... but other than that i can't say it's in my price range.

I have a black with dark grey interior 1988 Thunderbird Turbo for sale. It has $110,000 miles and is in good condition. Has practically new tires. It is loaded with moonroof, keyless entry, heated seats, automatic climate control and many other options. I was the only driver and I treated it like a baby. The back seat has only been sit in a couple of times. It does need some engine work, I am not sure what, I haven't had it checked out because I bought a new car. I am located near Abingdon, VA which is in Southwest Virginia. You can email me at sherry_c_1999@yahoo.com or call (276) 889-1917 or (276) 608-7519 if interested. I will try to answer any questions you may have. Depending on where you live on Ohio, it might not be to far from VA. Asking $1,200 but price may be negotiable. We can talk about it after you decide if your interested. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Sherry
