I'm looking for doors for an 83 tbird. Does anyone know of any salvage yards in Maryland that currently have 83-86 tbirds or cougars? Thanks for your help.
I have got'n alot of my 86 parts from "Banks auto salvage"[Conowingo,Md] and "Mason Dixon"[Md,Pa line outside of Rising Sun,Md]

Three locations near you, however I can tell you right now, 83 is going to be tough. You might find a door from an 83, but it is not likely to be a TC.
Good Luck.
Grimms Auto Salvage in Hagerstown has some t'birds. I have seen a few turbo coupes as well.
Crazy Rays had what I needed. Grimes has a bunch of tbirds but their prices are through the roof these days.
I believe you can transfer the glass from you TC to a regular bird door. The vent window and glass fit stock doors as a unit but you will need everything from the old door. Also later years will also fit, I don't think you are stuck with an 83 door.
83-86 Cougar and Tbird doors will fit. I picked doors off of an 85 and an 86 Cougar. Also got a hood with hinges off of an 87 tbird. It also looked like early Lincoln Mark VII doors would fit as well. My 83 doesn't have vent windows.
