Excuse me while I whip out my bird

[runematic]

T-Bird that is. I've been wanting to get an older car for awhile now (I guess to relive my mispent youth). This is a 1985 Tbird FILA edition. It has the 302 V8, auto, loaded. The FILA was the TOL in 84 & 85. I just bought it from the original owners (who are now about 80). The interior is almost perfect. The exterior has the usual paint chips and just some minor rust at one spot. This thing runs great. We were on the job at their house & they asked if we knew anyone that would want such a car. I asked how much and they said $400 to get rid of it. Well, I had to jump at that.

Great Deal

Fantastic Deal and Car you got! The 1983 to 1988 T-birds and Cougars were great cars. They handled well, drove nicely and the v6 engines had good gas mileage especially on the open road. My mom had an 83 Cougar she bought new at the time, and it was a good car and dependable too. Should of kept that car. Enjoy it!.

Amazing deal! I have never seen the Fila edition - it looks like it's mint! Congrats on the new Bird. Will we get to see the interior?

Nice ride!

You would have been very foolish to pass up a deal like that. Great score!

$400?!?

That's a steal! Have fun with this.

I've never heard of this special edition Thunderbird before, what a find! Looks extremely clean, glad to hear that you are getting a chance to enjoy it. Any interior pics? Loaded with cassette and equalizer? ;-)

how many miles registered on the odometer? It's pretty slick!

$400 ? I didn't think you get any car for that little anymore, what a deal. Even the old $100 specials are like $1000 these days and they're usually held together with duct tape.

 

[runematic]

Thanks for the compliments. I am heading to he mountains tomorrow, so when I get back I'll throw on some interior shots. As for the mileage, it's just a tick over 120,000.

Oh, that Fila Thunderbird was my dream car when I was in college. I would go to the dealership and drool over the one they had.

Great buy!!!
