Nice solid car to start with there! Looks better than either of my two birds ever did, that's for sure.
Gone but not forgotten - 1979 Formula, 1980 Esprit.

Being birdless sucks!

I've seen that car for a long time on craigslist myself. I had a friend in high school had one the exact same color. I'm surprised at the engine bay as nice as the rest of the car looks. It won't take much to get it looking good, though. Nice buy.
