'87 Thunderbird Keeping for now

March 17, 2009, 12:26:37 PM

I'm gonna keep the car for a little while and fix a few things on it, there were more things wrong with it that I didnt know. I started to replace the oil pan and just kept finding things that need fixed.

So mods you can delete this or do whatever with it, I'm gonna keep it for now. I might put it up for sale later once some things are fixed or I might keep it, I dunno.

Got some pics. IGNORE the windshield in the first pic it has been replaced with a new one(have the reciept if ya want it). All the wheels on it are like the back ones now. I may sell the chrome ones with the car if someone is interested.

Again the car runs and drives great just needs some lovin.

The pics above are from May of '08 and the car has been tagged, passed emmisions, and been driven daily up until last month when I pulled the Cougar out. In April the car had 104k and currently it has 115k or so on it, only thing it needed during that time was a t-stat.

I'd probably just one this if it were closer. For some reason everyone thinks these cars are worth more then mustangs lately, around here anyways. Good luck.

Looks to be in pretty good shape other than being multicolored.

Pending local sale. This may not go through but since I've known this guy for years I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, plus I know he needs a car. Everything else is still for sale though, like the wheels and the '84 HO.

Will do. Hopefully I can get it up on a lift today or tomarrow and get some good pics. The local deal pretty much fell through BTW.

Got a local buyer, should be gone this weekend if all goes well.

EDIT - NVM what I said above. The car decided it doesnt want to be sold. I took it to the gas station since it hasnt been drivin for a while and went inside to get some mountain dew and came out and had a decent sized puddle of oil under the car. Checked the oil and drove it home. I put the car up on jackstands and found out the oil pan is rusting out rather badly. Of course its not just the usual little quarter sized drip its about 10" in diameter. That much oil that quick aint good. The worst part is the guy is coming over tonight to drive the car. Winter took a major toll on this car. My dumbness on just giving it one light oil spray, should've followed up with a second one after the first soaked in some.
