    "Fully loaded, all the options" Love it, it's a base T-Bird, the Elan would say it on the trunk, and dash. Also, the Elan had power windows. As for options, the list was huge, and this is not loaded. Still a nice a car.

      EXACTLY! This Is a Base Model with the Only Option being that 5.0 V-8. It's also far from being Super Clean. It's Covered in Nick's, Chips & Dings, and the Upholstery has Definitely Seen Better Days.

    This Thunderbird, though pretty, is not an Elan. Thunderbird Elan had 'Elan' badges on the driver's side of the trunk, and the bucket seats with the 'big' or Turbo Coupe head rests. This Thunderbird also has wheel covers, Elan had wheels. This Thunderbird is a base model with the optional V8.

    What a last from the past Nathan! Wow I bought a brand new '84 at age 22 white with this red interior and it was fully optioned making this look bare boned. But this has the V8 compared to my V6. I was all so amazed at the ride this car gave. And how quiet it was while driving. I finally had my TBird that I wanted in 1980. I wish Ford Still made the TBird.

    Nice car! Ford got it right with these "Aero" 'birds... The EFI V8 in these cars had low horsepower, but they were still pretty quick. It's a shame they did not offer the V8 with a manual transmission. Still, it's a great car... Funny, though...this was considered a mid-size car in '86. If it was built today, it would be in the small car category...

Had the money for my first car at age 15 and I had the car! I had to look at it Almost a year before I could drive it LEGALLY. I remember the guy at the Lincoln Garage asking me what I did that I could afford a new car at age 18.

  • @wbackous
    @wbackous 11 років тому +1

    Not sure this is really an Elan. I had an 1986 Thunderbird Elan with the 5.0 V8. It should have a fully electronic dash (digital tach, trip computer, numeric display for fuel level, etc) and badging on the left rear of the hood. Mine had power driver and passenger seat, power door locks, power windows and power antenna as well as climate control. Good cars and pretty much bullet proof (mine was my first car and withstood everything I did to it) but can be pretty tail happy (good and bad).

    At 11:47 you point out a light that came on. If it's a circled S next to the word "SERVICE" then that means the gauges were replaced at some point by a Ford dealer and there should be an odometer label with the mileage when it was done. Add the mileage reading to the one on the odometer to get the exact mileage. They didn't program exact mileage in the replacement clusters back then. Should be listed in the owners manual. Good luck with sale.

    It was because I lived at home still and paid only $35 a week for room and board. But I did move out at 18 and then gas was an issue seeing I traveled 60 miles a day just to work and back so I bought the diesel Bonneville and was that a BIG $13K mistake. And I insisted on a diesel. Finally I traded it towards the Charger 2.2. The Dodge dealer didn't know I was trading a Diesel in on the Charger. They assumed it was a gas motor.

      @efandmk3382 7 років тому

      You got an OK deal. This is a Ford from the 1980s. These cards only had a 5 digit odometer, so it's more likely that it has at least 160,000 miles. It has maybe another 50,000 left in it, if it's currently in good shape. That's a good deal. I once bought a 1970 Oldsmobile Delta with 80000 miles for $1200.00. This was in the mid nineties, and i bought it from the original owner who swore that was actual mileage. I drove that car another 150,000 miles before it got hit by a police car and totaled. That is probably the best deal I ever got on a car.
