Thanks for the advice...I picked up the 1988 Tbird that was for sale here in Illinois for $650.....can't find a lot wrong mechanically but I was told that there is a web site where u can type in the vin number and it will tell you about the history of the car???...Does anyone know the addy???.....love the color, don't know if it is stock or added...kinda a pearl mauve in the light that almost looks brown in the dark...........suppose when I get the 2 rust spots fixed it will be hard to match....well any support on what to look for would be great .....
