Ford Thunderbird Starting in the 1950s, this was a classic American sports cars, from the compact original of the 1950s, to the muscular hard top coupes of the 1980s and 1990s to the retro look of the 2003 model year, this car is, and always will be, an American classic.

Default Fix it up or replace it?

Hi gang,

New here, I have a 94 t-bird (love my baby) and it's developed car cancer (rust). I have owned the car since 96, know every mile but the first 7,000. I am debating on fixing him up or replacing him with a fusion. Let me state again, I LOVE THIS CAR, but if I have it painted and the rust fixed, will it last another 10-15 years. I am not sure that the newer models will hold up as well as my boy has. I know I can get it fixed and I know it has the potential to eventually become a classic. I have all (Yes ALL) of my service records and know that the engine is sound. (gotta love that V8).

I expect it to cost between $5-$10,000 to do it right (Which is the cost of a good used car). So which should I do? I can't decide and just need to bounce the pro's and con's off others.
