For that kind of car, you should easily get the full blue book value according to condition, which is likely either fair or good.
Although a salvage title could affect the price, the fact that a Thunderbird is a semi-rare kinda classic sought after car helps... Let's put it this way, it's a poor man's Ferrari, so it's like a classic, kinda.

Fully assess your car's condition.
It’s important to know the condition of your car before setting a sale price. Kelley Blue Book offers a Condition Quiz that can assist you, and can be accessed from within the Private Party Value section of our web site. After assessing your car’s condition, you'll feel more confident deciding on an acceptable, and reasonable, price. The Kelley Blue Book Private Party Value can be used when setting your price but, remember, only you know the condition of your car, and only you can best judge if any flaws might warrant a price cut. It’s also very important to be brutally honest with yourself about your car’s condition. Generally, sellers tend to over-rate their cars’ conditions, and buyers tend to be fairly good at spotting problems. Therefore, if you over-rate it, and thus over-price it, you’ll only prolong the time it takes to make a sale. Remember, the idea is to sell the car and, even if you accept a lower price than you might like, it will still likely be more than you would have made on a trade-in.

You may also want to do some homework before showing the car to a potential buyer. If you were a dealer, you would give the vehicle a certain amount of preparation before putting it on the lot for sale, and you would do this preparation in order to get a better price. The same principle applies when selling your car to a private party. You may not want to spend a lot of money on your car just to sell it, but you do want it to look presentable and, just as important, you want to avoid unpleasant surprises while showing it to potential buyers.

Depending on wherein you're promoting it, you may also have got to reduction the traditional rate by way of 10% or so, however possibly no longer. Where I are living, the auto might no longer be financed, in order that would prohibit the quantity of patrons you'll have. Good Luck!
