"Lead sled luxury"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just little things like hoses, etc.

I had a problem with the brakes, but that, like most of its problems, was the fault of the previous owner.

General comments?

I love this car, I'm 16 and this is my first real car. I bought it with my own money and wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world.

It is nice that I am not the only teenager that loves these cars. I have two 79 Cougars and they are my favorites other than the 77-79 Thunderbirds. I think I would trade my Cougars for a Thunderbird of that year.

You guys sound like me! I have a '79 Thunderbird, it was my first real car. I Love the thing, and I am almost done with rebuilding it. If you have ANY questions about '79 or '78 T-birds I know nearly everything about them and what can be done with them.

I traded for a 78 XR7 with only 92K on the odometer. Features a 351w engine C4 transmission, tilt,cruise, power locks, windows, seats, etc...I've always liked the style of these 77/79 Ford/Mercury cars. I am just getting started customizing it, so we will talk more later. (RDW)
