[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 12679377, member: 15703"] The '67 Fastback might be a winner depending on how much it would take to bring it back. The T-Birds currently aren't bringing the dollars they used to. As an example, Amos Minter is regarded as the foremost expert and restorer of classic thunderbirds. Several years ago, if you had one restored by him you could easily make a decent profit. Now these cars aren't bringing near the money and I'm guessing the restoration costs are now outpacing the vehicle's market value. I know we all think about cars in a general sense here, but when talking about doing anything with a potentially collectible car, you should make sure you're not going to lose your ass doing it. You'll want to at least be able to brake even. Unless you're just looking for a cool car to get back to driver condition. The Fastback will be easier and less costly to restore though. It's a better candidate to hold value of modification as well. People will pay for good restomods on tri-five chevies, F-bodies, Mustangs etc. Not so much on thunderbirds. [/QUOTE]
