No offense taken. Its not my car. It is definitely not everyone's taste. For those that are into this era of car, this is a good one. The Town Landau package was a big deal back then. It dramatically increased the price of the car. The 77 T-Bird was a huge seller when it came out. In 1976, Ford sold 53,000 T-Birds. But, in 1977 when this new body style came out, they sold 318,000 of them.
He also has a 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix that is BEAUTIFUL with only 40,000 miles. It is spectacular and worth significantly more than this T-Bird. He just recently bought a 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Coupe with super low miles and he had to sell one car -- which is why the T-bird is for sale. I think his price is too high. But, I have seen others like this sell for $7500 and even up to $9,000.

Might be 65 or 66. Not sure how many years they had the big rectangular tail lights but I think 64 was the first year and by 67 they had changed a lot, if I recall correctly. 63 still had the big round tail lights. Not my primary choice in color as it was a rusty brown orange color with a black top but it sure looked in nice shape. I could go for one of those. No offense to you or your brother, Don, but the 77 does not do much for me now. I almost bought one when it was new but my wife talked me out of it. She thought it too big for her to drive. We bought a 77 Monarch instead. It was not among the top cars that Ford ever built but we kept it a long time and it served us reasonably well. Lousy handling etc but it looked good (for the time anyway). It was white 2door with a white quarter vinyl roof and a dark red interior.
