Found out a local yard has an 4 eyed bird and Im hoping its a TC as I do recognize it I believe. Figured Id do like Stang8U did and see if anyone is in need of any parts if I can get them cheap enough. All I have is a pic of the rear that my sister sent me today. Im going for the spoiler in hope that it either will or I can mod it to fit my TC. I love that style!! Agian Im not sure of the powertrain, but there always seems to be someone looking for non-TC specific parts.

If it's a TC, it's either an '83 or '84 judging by the T-Bird emblem and tail lights - I think all the T-Birds had the chrome line in the belt molding those years. Good luck! If it does end up bring a TC, I would pull off some of the TC-specific interior pieces as I imagine they are more difficult to come by for those couple of years.

Ya if it is a TC its probably gonna be missing alot of TC specific parts when Im done!!! Ill know the minute I see the car in person if this is the one Ive seen before and I hate to say it but the bottom was completely rusted out. That spoiler is the dead give away I hope that it is the TC that Im thinking. Obviously thats not a very common spoiler to see!

Sucks for me that the 4 eyes had that extra body line in them, Id just cut the quarters off to to make my repairs easier.

Im sure if I just grab a bunch of stuff that someone is gonna need or want an extra so we'll see how full I end up coming back. Figured I post this in case someone was looking for something specific for me to watch for.

Getr done

It's really sad out here I see a lot of fox birds and TC's in the yard

But you go on the local Craig's list and can not find squat for sale


It seems like they all just go to the yard to die .....sad!

Another hot item is a manual drivers side seat track. If it has one get the manual seat console piece with it.
I'll buy the 140mph speedo if you find one.
