*I actually found the Thunderbird quite interesting!* The engine sounds fine. Just needs some new control arms, anti-roll bar, maybe ball joints, some cosmetic parts that you can find at the junkyard, maybe a set of front seats, corner light, power steering pump and your good to go! It's more the labor that killing it because parts for these things are quite cheap. It would be a great car for you or TJ's auto! Tim needs to wrench more man. Great cheap car for his channel!

Green Thunderbird, boring. Probably 200k or more miles. You could buy it. Spend a lot of money on it, and still have a $600 - $1000 car. I liked the red Focus, it's a good little car. Thing is all the hail damage, no big deal. Could use it as a selling point. Compare it to a golf ball, what makes a golf ball sail through the air is all the dimples on the ball. Reduces drag and the ball goes further. Pretty sure Myth Busters put golf ball like dimples on a car, gas mileage went up. Try it.

The f150 is a good buy since it is a v8 and light damage. The power boards are garbage once they ice up. That's a platinum edition so lots of goodies like massaging seats, rain sensing wipers, etc. But potential money pit if modules are messed up. It's a lux truck so payload and towing are way down compared to a 4x2 basic f150 with the same motor. It wont replace the 350 in terms of towing but would be a slick daily or good to flip The trailer backup thing is cool but gimmicky. It will turn the wheel based on how you turn that knob while using the backup camera to line up a trailer. Buy it if possible...damn good deal with the low miles
