Looking for a 1979 maroon T-bird,ANYONE?

Wanted--A 1979 maroon T-bird with maroon interior in mint shape. A first car for me (back in high school) that I wish I still had. If anyone can drop a lead, please advise. Thanks in advance--Daron.

Daron:

Was wondering if your original '79 Maroon Bird was the Heritage edition? Maroon was a popular color in the Heritage edition. But they are hard to locate these days. I enjoy two Birds, a 1979 (Chamois) and a 1978 Diamond Jubilee. Tim; [email protected]

No, I don't beleive it was the Heritage edition. Would the Heritage have the factory tach as the Diamond Jubilee did as I did not have one? I had the 351M maroon exterior with matching interior in the vinyl/leather seating. Had factory cruise,AC,PS,PB,AM/FM stereo only,no 8 track,etc. Had the dual mirrors in the sport color keyed variety but still had roll up windows. It was odd as it had rare options for the time but missed some of the options that one would have thought to be included with an order in the layout given. I did have a white vinyl 2 piece top with factory pinstripping. Also had the spoke hubs with the bird emblem in the center. Glad to hear you have a few. Any pics? i sure do miss that car and won't stop till I find one as close as possible. If you hear of any, please advise and thanks for responding.--Daron.

Here's my e-mail address. Send me a message and I'll send you back some nice pics of my 1979 Bird. I have two poor pics of my 78 Diamond Jubilee that do not do it justice. It's gorgeous after I buffed it out completely from bumper to bumper.
Both cars have the 7-gauge dash cluster which have the tachometer, Air Conditioning, dual mirrors, deluxe turbine wheels with the center caps, etc., etc. Tim; [email protected]
