385,000 miles 1968 Ford Thunderbird

This all original 390cid 1968 Ford Thunderbird is owned by my buddy in Serbia.
Currently, there is 385,000 miles on the odometer and this is his daily driver. You can imagine how much he spends on gas with T-Bird's 8 mpg (and gas costing $8/gallon).

Few more cars from his collection ...

1971 Pontiac GTO Judge, currently being restored.

1971 Lincoln Mark III

1964 Imperial Crown

1984 & 1985 Chevrolet Corvette

1971 Chrysler Imperial

1968 Dodge Charger

I love that Tbird! Suicide four doors, landau bars, vinyl roof, mags and all!

I don't think that he has any Mustangs.

The car from the picture might be this one, a 1969 Mach 1 clone which was restored recently.

Nice! I wouldn't have expected to see such classics in Serbia. Certainly not a Judge...

Over a 24 mile daily average. That's pretty darn good.

He buys them all over the world and ships them to Serbia. The process can take up to 6 months.

Gold '71 Imperial was bought in New Zealand, but remaining cars were bought in the USA.

You're correct, it's a 1970, not 1971.

Only 3,629 were built that year.

How is not a Judge?
I'm not an expert in Pontiacs, but the owner for sure is and he says it's a Judge.

The only difference from this pic is the side stripe.

Spoiler, side stripes, and the grille.

If it was a judge the grille surround would be black and not silver.

exactly. Thats a common mistake when people try to clone a Judge. They leave in GTO grills. Like this one..

BTW- that car is missing the front spoiler, has wrong mirrors, wrong steering wheel too
