Greetings,
I picked up an 87 t-bird, and found this forum. Look forward to learning more about he platform.
It's an all original survivor with only 21K on the odometer, and it looks like it.

Welcome to the forum, that's a beautiful car you have there, someone obviously took very good care of it.
A lot can be learned on this site by going through the "Tech Articles" and or searching the site. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you have, someone will be along to help you find an answer. Member activity isn't what it was 10 years ago but there are still a few of us diehards around.

Here is a link to a google drive Pic dump I mainly focused on the outside and underside. I will add more of the interior, but will say the interior is in "dealer new" condition. No cracks or imperfections at all. Even the OEM floormats appear as new.
The only weird rust was found on the left front control arm area. Unsure why just there. My theory is an overfilled master cylinder and it spilled on the control arm and never got cleaned off. Paint went away from the brake fluid, and rust occurred.
