This a 78 TBird, the 77 model didn't have the Thunderbird emblems on the headlight covers.

I had a 77....and I just bought a 78 ("barn find")...and you are right!!....But there where different "packages" and "trim" options, and combinations available in those days....this one has no power windows, so it was not the top of the line model,...so it was probably a dealership demo model!...just sayin!

Great eye. I noticed that right away too.

My pops had one with its shifter console to the floor. Haven’t seen one that way since. Still like this one.

What a beautiful design they looked so great with any wheels

that's amazing, 1900 miles, she is still new, looks like original tires , thanks for posting :)

I like to buy....My brother had one new.....nice !

I drove a 77 in High School and college. I miss. All of us had fun in that car.

They made these to compete against the Chevy Monte Carlo,and they won

Saw a little ding in the trunk lid and sorry to tell you but this is a 78' model!!!

I wish they made that same style radial tire again really make the car look cool and when you those turns could see those tires just grip

Very nice!

If only it was a Diamond Jubilee Editon

those were the best radial tires ever made I wish they would make that style today very very smooth cars today are also heavy they need those kind of tires on them today especially that style

I like your Thunderbird, she is a real beauty,does she have a 8 track tape player in her.

this is an absolutely beautiful piece of machinery

Brandon Crapo The thunderbirds weren't downsized until the 1980 model year. These 1977 to 1979 models were based on the LTD II platform. Not a bad car but obviously this dealer intends to overcharge as much as possible for this very scantly optioned but low mileage car.

Ford would return to framed doors for the eighth (1980-1982), ninth (1983-1988) and tenth generation (1989-1997) cars, but that had more to do with aerodynamics and safety than road noise. The 11th gen car (2002 - 2005) was a convertible, so frameless doors were a natural for that generation car.

78. 77 didn't have the chrome trim around the headlight doors

How do you know that the previous owner didn't simply add these onto a '77? Most buyers were big fans of chrome on these cars and it's not unreasonable to assume that a car owner may have simply added this on to make the car look newer (or maybe to add more chrome)

The 77 did have the t bird on the head lights it only had one

My mom had a 1978.

I'm not looking to buy I have a 77. I was curious about the motor

How did you manage to find this?

I get it exactly, I've got an 73 , 429 4bbl and imagine watching that needle to E. Still to have a 70s Tbird is a true privelege. What color was you're 78?

Gorgeous cars and slightly smaller than the bloated 1976. Love those big metal bumpers that can push any boring new plastic bubble right off the road.

Slightly smaller? This generation lost nearly eighteen inches in overall length compared to the previous model. By the time this car was on the drawing boards, the 1973 fuel crisis, upcoming emissions regulations (starting for the 1975 model year), as well as the very noticeable public shift in tastes to more economical cars, all combined to influence the design of these cars. The age of two to three ton cars pushing gas guzzling, 400 plus cubic inches was on its way out. The writing was on the wall for upcoming CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) requiring automakers to meet annual fuel mileage quotas was coming up soon too. Suddenly, curb weight, fuel mileage, crashworthiness, and even aerodynamics all mattered to carmakers when designing new vehicles. Cars produced at the end of the 70s were a lot different from the cars that started this decade.

Unless you can PROVE the odometer has been tampered with, I'll take the seller's word for it. It's ILLEGAL (Federal illegal, as well as illegal in every state) to tamper with a vehicle odometer or misrepresent the mileage. Provided that the mileage represents what's on the paperwork, that's good enough for me. Additionally, bad news travels fast, and it would be severely damaging to the seller's business to be accused of odometer fraud. It's rare, but not unplausible for these cars to be stowed away for years in climate controlled garages and sold during estate sales. Not every heir wants to take on maintaining a 45 year old classic car.

Awesome car, wish it was still available, do have anymore like this?

Then all you have to do is prove that Ford is stamping out these 45 year old cars again. Not likely. You obviously haven't shopped car prices lately. Chip shortage for new cars has driven up demand for used cars too.

@@chieftp $5? Not likely. Unless this car has been converted to R134a (new cars starting in early 90s switched to R134a), this is an R12 car (there is a label on the compressor identifying correct refrigerant). Last time I checked, R12 was running at $50 a pound, and even that price may be out of date (present price is probably even higher). Most cars need between eight to ten pounds of this stuff, and we haven't even gotten into the labor fees involved. As for those refrigerant substitutes, don't touch them. A credible AC shop will typically test the system for leaks, and if they find traces of a refrigerant they can't identify, SHOW'S OVER. No credible shop will risk contaminating their equipment with your $5 can of garbage, and it's not cheap to have your system purged. Also there's no telling what kind of damage an unknown refrigerant substitute will do to your compressor seals. You're really going to risk thousands in HVAC repairs because you're too cheap to put a legitimate refrigerant into your system?
