Hello,

I have been lurking, but recently decided to join and partite. I have two Thunderbirds an 87 TB and a 85 TC. I have learned a lot so far and have met some very helpful people. Glad to see some love for these cars as they are very rare around my parts. Here are some pics of my cars: [ATTACH=CONFIG]30303[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30304[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30305[/ATTACH]

Welcome! I just joined as well.

I like that '87. Figured there would be a bunch of those still left in FL. With the large senior population, and the lack of a rust-causing environment.

The brown/gold one has a carbed 347. I personally would never switch a 2.3t for a 5.0, but thats the way it came. I had no clue about tbirds when I bought them. I would post more pics, but I have no idea how to lol.

I bought both of them within a week of each other off ebay. The gold one came from Michigan I think, and the red one from Washington state.

The easiest way is to upload them to a photo hosting site like Photobucket, and then post links to them in your posts here.
