I did not have much luck on that white t-bird. I went and looked at it, the "hail damage all over" was about 10 assorted tiny issues. This car was sweet as hell. Being a individual buying in KY you are required to either have a dealer license or use a broker. Most brokers around here charge about 400 plus a percentage of the sale price. This particular car was a nice one, but I am pissed at the principle behind this buying process. I was going to use this in august in Louisville. Oh well. I will just continue on my truck.

It already looks to be in great shape! Probably original miles too.

(like most of us)  I am amazed that the amount of 77-79 t-birds out there that are in very nice to excellent condition. I do like them but not the biggest fan. I really like seeing the 74-76 cougars and 72-76 Montego's. I have a soft spot these as well as w72-76 wagons.

I like all 72-79's but I like the wagons most (figures). I think Joe's observation that the 77-79's were much better built plays into why there are so many in good shape.
