Typically, the vehicle identification number is stamped into a plate that's mounted on the dashboard near the windshield or the driver-side doorjamb. In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandated that all vehicles from that point forward must have a standardized 17-digit vehicle identification number. Instead, you'll need to get in touch with your Department of Motor Vehicles or contact the automaker directly. Vehicles from the '50s and up to 1980 cannot be decoded by modern methods. You pick the number, but to make it worth both of our time, let’s agree on a minimum of $50k.The first VIN dates back to 1954, and for decades, VINs came in a wide variety of configurations, depending on the individual automaker. You get someone to draw up an agreement, we’ll both put the money in escrow, and I’ll produce the window sticker, sales agreement, and canceled check. However, if it’s that important to you, let’s put some money on it. I’m sorry you are so personally offended by my simple statement describing my experience please forgive me if I’m not equally devastated by the fact that you don’t believe me. It’s amazing that despite your lack of command of language, you have determined that I am a bastard, that I buy my cars on Saturdays, and that I am stupid enough to use the F&I services of a dealer. As I recall, it took about 45 minutes from the time I walked into the dealership until I pulled out of the lot, including the time required to wash the car. It’s obvious from reading your reply that English is a second language for you, so I will explain that “beat the salesman (not “saleman”) down” is just a figure of speech. Hagerty is at $4,400 for a #3 good condition car, what’s your offer for this one? The seller says that everything works and that there are a couple of small drips, probably from sitting, but they went through the fuel system and transmission and it works great. The engine should be Ford’s 4.2L 255 cubic-inch V8 which would have had around 111 horsepower for non-California markets. Check out the photos to see at least a portion of the interior. They don’t show a normal photo here for some reason, they’re all extreme angles or close-ups.
They don’t show closeups of those and that’s unfortunate to hear about.Įven more unfortunate are the unusual interior photos. They do say that although it was garaged its whole life, after going through the estate process it sat outside for six months and got hailed on so there are some tiny dimples. For a 39-year-old car that’s pretty incredible. This car is 100% rust-free according to the seller and it has just over 42,000 miles on it. The eighth-generation Thunderbird was made for model years 1980 through 1982 and they were based on the Fox platform, as in the platform that the Mustang was based on.
White isn’t a super exciting color – or tone – but the condition of this car makes up for a lack of color on the exterior I’m a huge fan of these cars which isn’t hard to believe given my penchant for the unusual and often-unloved cars over the popular ones.
Whether a person likes this generation of Thunderbird or not, you have to agree that this one looks absolutely fantastic. The seller is asking $6,500 or you can make an offer. This 1982 Ford Thunderbird is one of the nicest that I have seen and it’s listed here on eBay in Littleton, Colorado. The Mustang II is like that, and for some reason, the eight-generation Thunderbird has never really seemed to achieve a lot of love in the general car community. It’s funny how certain generations of vehicles are like the Rodney Dangerfield of cars.
