Not knocking on the 'Bird, but why not a mustang? Or maybe a Mark VII?

I'm just saying, that's all....

Because not EVERYONE wants to drive a Mustang ;)

the bird for me is a much better car. more comfortable. plus the 83-86 cars have the best lines of about any 80's car

[Chris Wood]

sounds pretty cool! Good luck, with a "non-stang"!

87-88 tibird looks better and i don't want to hear about the aeronose styling lol....there r less of those and the 87-88 t-coupe were the chit. sorry i had a 87 V-8 and u can't forget , unlike your first lay, your first car

[Chuck W]

87-88 tibird looks better
Yuck.

:P

[78Mont347]

Yuck.

Come on now. My DD is an 88 Turbo Coupe with a 5.0l and 5 speed in it. I love that car.

But I'd swap everything into a nice 86 TC body in minute. :D

ps. anyone have a nice non-cracked dashboard for a bird they want to sell. That is the only thing wrong with the interior in mine and I'd love to replace it.[/img]

[fordguy]

got the car home. long drive. it's a 5.0/ auto( duh :) ). i'll take some pics soon

[Chuck W]

fordguy-
Glad you got it home. Let's see what you got.


78Mont347....sorry, I have never liked the looks of the aero-beaked Birds. Mechanically they have their advantages and disadvantages over the 83-86's, but mechanicals are easy to fix....I just can't get past the looks of the 87-88's enough to ever want to own one.

[fordguy]

chuck, this was for sale on the fox bird site. traded a 93 stang for it. needs some work but it's all there

[Chuck W]

Not too shabby.

Needs to lose the 14's though.

What are your plans?

[78Mont347]

fordguy,

That looks like a really clean bird. Congrats on picking it up. So what are the plans with it?

[fordguy]

well i miss my 460 powered 85 bird but a bigblock ain't in the cards right now. i have a complete 69 351w i think i'll put in there with a 5 speed. i want to keep it injected. going to be a slow process but it will get done.

[LTDScott]

The only thing I don't like about the 87-88s is the nose. Probably wouldn't be too hard to swap a four-eyed nose on there.

Fordguy, Congrats on the bird!

It's a mini fox bird board gathering here, lol
