What should i do?

[RustyRed]

The thing about the T-Birds are they only appeal to a very select few (mostly people from that era). I think a Mustang is more like a Model A or a 40's coupe. They can be modified (and it is not frowned upon by too many) to be what you want them to be. A T-Bird doesn't seem to be as versatile. I think the Mustang, like many true muscle cars, appealed to people from that era and even people 20-30 years younger. I grew up basically in the 80's and 90's and I have a lot of friends that would die for a muscle car. Maybe I am biased though, I have never seemed to care for the T-Birds. I can respect them but have no desire for one.

I grew up in the same era...got out of high school in '91 and I say big +1 to the above.

Thing about classic Mustangs though is they do appeal to the younger crowd also....a lot of if not most of the thumbs up and other comments I get when I am out in my Mustang are from kids who can't even drive yet.

I'd like to see pictures of the Tbird in question, just for conversation sakes anyway! :craz~~

I just love old cars! :cry

Here are 3 pics I think are small enough to post.
Inside is real nice with red and white uph. Chrome on the car is really, really nice. Hard to tell from this pics. though.

Well, it looks nice enough! in the first photo, is the bumper really big or something or maybe it's the angle that it was taken at? It has two tops, neat! I guess if it's mechanically sound~ it'd be a difficult call and of course the decision is yours to make. Like my dad used to tell me~ "what ever blows your skirt up!" lol Never really understood what it meant, but I remember it for some reason.
Do you like the car? We're such materialistic creatures! lol

The bumper is one of the Continental Kits for the spare being mounted on the rear like it is. I think they had a couple types of rear bumpers for that setup......


Found this....here... http://www.portholeauthority.com/thunderbirdETC/tbird/tbirddesc.html

Continental Kits were only stock* on the 1956 Thunderbird. If you see a continental kit on a '55 or a '57 - it is an "after-market" add-on - not supplied by Ford though Ford dealerss may have installed.

The problem with that picture of the bumper Is you can't tell where the top of the bumper Is and where that flat panel of the cont. kit begins because It's painted white like the spare tire housing and they should be red the color of the car.

Wish I could get some of these other pics smaller so they would post but not having any luck.

Long story short. I am keeping the Mustang. Cracking bondo and dull paint on the t-bird. More than I want to get into.
