I recently found a very low mileage pristine 1979 T-bird that I'm contemplating. I'm curious to know from those who have 'em if there are any weak points on these cars that I should look out for. I've had it on a lift and it is almost perfectly rust free--there isn't any surfact rust on the underside anywhere. It even still has what appears to be the original exhaust.

I currently have a 1965, and though I love it, I would like to eventually get a T-bird that's a little newer and less upkeep. If I'm not mistaken, the 77-79 years appear to be based on the full size LTD platform. A friend of mine had a 1979 LTD that basically ran forever, even after he one time forgot to put oil in the engine and the dipstick came up dry.



Thanks,
Joe
