Re: Available parts for 77-79 T-Birds
Hello: Thanks for posting.
Per your question, I do have a brand new hood ornament for the 1977-79 Thunderbirds as well as some used units.
But I think the Heritage model requires a hood ornament that is has the burgundy colored glass insert. I have some hood ornaments with glass inserts (tan, blue), but none with the burgundy insert. Let me know what you want for your Heritage.
Have other parts as well if you need them
Thanks, tim

Re: Available parts for 77-79 T-Birds
Colored plastic inserts were matched with the exterior color, i.e. blue for light blue exteriors, burgundy with burgundy exteriors, etc. The white-painted Town Landaus/DJs/Heritages had the inserts color-keyed to the accent colors (i.e. blue, burgundy/red, Ember, etc.). If time permits this weekend I can pull up part numbers for the insert-type ornaments.BirdShepherd wrote:But I think the Heritage model requires a hood ornament that is has the burgundy colored glass insert.

Since your Heritage is light blue, and not burgundy, I do have the right hood ornament for you after all: its one with a blue insert. Perfect for your Bird. I'll send you a pix tomorrow.

Hi Michael:
Good to hear from you again. Hope you and the Bird are doing well.
Sounds like you have some large and substantial plans for the Bird!
Let me know what you need!
Happy New Year!

Do you have a left door window guide? Part no should be #23288 it's plastic and connects to the window bottom and has a track that accepts the square slider on the window regulator. Thanks Homer

Re: Available parts for 77-79 T-Birds
I do have hood ornaments in various conditions.
From the looks of your username, you own a 1979 Heritage Edition, right? If so, then, you will need the Hood Ornament with either the Burgundy-colored glass insert (to match the color of your Bird)--or--if you have a Baby-Blue Colored Heritage Edition--you'll need the ornament with the blue glass insert.
What kind of 1979 Bird do you own, then?
Thanks, tim

Re: Available parts for 77-79 T-Birds
I do have some ornaments for the 79 Bird, but not for the Heritage Model: the Heritage takes a special ornament with a glass insert to match the color of the vehicle--either maroon or baby blue. Your Bird is a Heritage model I presume.

Do you have a fuel tank vapor separator valve available? Been looking for new ones but can't find any in the country.
