Seems to me that the NADA book has always been showing excessive prices on the Thunderbirds. $16,000 is way out of line even for a number 2 car. The non-working windows could be the window safety relay (most likely), a fuse or window switches. Oil leaks fron the rear of the intake manifold have been a problem on FE engines. Look there. Expect the 345 HP 428 engine. I would expect a mechanic to do a real good job examining the car for $100. Maybe $50 for oil leaks only. By the way, the 428 is not as rare as people would lead you to believe. When it's all fixed it will be worth what someone will pay for it!
