I broke down one time going to a car show, one of the heater hoses busted and a NAPA was about a block away.

Stopped in and asked for a heater hose for a 4 cyl. thunderbird and this guy was a manager and told me that ford never put a 4 cyl. in a thunderbird.

He wouldn't even look it up. I asked another counter person and he found one for me. What's wrong with these people?
Wow - I had the exact same experience.  At the local NAPA, the manager said, "You must mean mustang.  Ford never made a 4-cylinder thunderbird."  I said that it was a Turbo-Coupe, and he then said that "Ford didn't introduce the turbocharged four cylinder until 2015, and that was a Mustang!"  He then laughed at me with his buddy also working behind the counter and said something to the effect of, "If you have a four cylinder thunderbird, we'd love to see it."

Just walked out.

Well,

bootleggers deluxe has just made a wonderful donation in my wife's name to the school, and he's coming to pick up the parts in a week or two.  Thanks for everyone who expressed interest! 

I am truly grateful for the forum and for all the help and friends along the way!

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / All my remaining T-Bird parts - Great Deal
I’ve had a few PMs so I’ll answer the questions here...

How big of a donation?  $100?  $1000?
  => Any amount

Will you sell me XYZ part?
  => Not at this time.  Looking to get rid of all of it as one lot.
  => This is a convenience for me. I was in Iowa City at the hospital with my wife again yesterday. I don’t have time to piece it out and ship it out anymore

When do you need the parts out of there?
    => The spoils go to the winner, so the first to show up gets them. I can’t hold them for you.
    => would like to have them gone by the end of Feb.

Any chance you will change your mind and start selling individual parts again?
  => Yes, but not for a month.

Thanks for all the interest!  An entrepreneurial member with more free time than me could make some decent money on this deal.  I am paying it back for all the wisdom on the forum, and paying it forward for the next generation of enthusiast!

Happy New Years!

We'll we've gotten to the point that I am tired of piecing things out, and the value of the shop space is worth more than the value of my remaining parts, so I've decided to put together an unique offer.

My wife has some serious health needs at the moment, but this isn't a thread asking for help with that.  We have great healthcare and good insurance.  Instead, I would like to do something to honor her.  She is a full time volunteer at a small Christian School, and there is no shortage of financial need at the school.  A donation of any amount gets you the remainder of tbird/cougar parts including, but not limited to:

The body parts listed here:
http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?40538-Body-Parts-amp-tail-pipes-new-(pickup-only)

Taillights for an '87/88
Taillights for an '85/86
HO short-block
TC rear end
HO heads with roller rockers
Lincoln Mark 7 ECU for use with HO
Boxes of misc parts - some new

But the catch is that you have to bring a truck and/or trailer and you have to take it all.

Seriously - a donation gets you everything!

I'd really like to clear this out, and I think this is a cool opportunity to honor the volunteer work that my wife does on a daily basis.

If you're seriously interested, hit me up on PM or send me an email.  - Geoff
