Show us your classic! (seats, exhaust, purchase, engine)

[Keim]

Lets talk about and show off our classic and collectible cars. Here's my 1976 Monte Carlo:

When purchased: Bought from my brother around 1984
Motor: 350 with edelbrock performer carb and intake, dual exhaust
Odometer: 140k

It is not fancy or especially valuable, but it is fun!

Keim,
I have had a few classics over the years, and these pictures are of my current one.
1966 Thunderbird Town Landau.
It underwent a complete restoration three years ago, just before I purchased it.
The only thing I have done too it is, added a new sound system last year.
This bird is every bit as nice as the day it was made.
It is like it is 1966 all over again, and I just drove it out of the dealership.

Bob.

Very nice. I'm impressed it still has the fender skirts over the back wheels. Were those a Landau option? Nice looking car.

In 1966, the fender skirts were an option.
They were standard equipment on the 64 and 65 Tbirds.

Looks nice. Can you tell more about it?

How much did the 1966 Thunderbird Town Landau cost you? It looks spanking new!

Thanks for the compliments about my bird.
I traded my 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback for it.
The seller wanted $17,000 for the Tbird, and the Mazda was valued at just about the same price when I got the Tbird.
All in all, it was a great deal for me, because soon after, I had the car appraised, and at that time it was appraised at $22,000
It is insured with an agreed value of $24,000.
Every year I keep it, it is going to be worth more.
The personal license plates were added a couple of years ago, soon after it was used in two commercials.
Bob.
