    I'll bet it does look great in black. Thanks for taking a look at this one.

    $40K, man someone scored on that! Those cars were built like tanks, too, they really last. Best 60's body style for the 'Bird, the space age at it's finest.

    This is definitely a nice example. Thanks for checking it out my friend.

    Beautiful! I loved the older T-Bids that had the sports package with the roadster tonneau! It made for a beautiful 2-seater that you could easily open up to carry additional passengers. Practical 2-seater for the family man!

    Other than the 1961-62 high performance engines with which were rated at 375 (1 X 4 Bbl) and 401 HP (3 X 2 Bbl), this was the most powerful 390 ever made. It put out 340 HP (3 X 2 Bbl) and was used in 1962 and 1963 and only in this very special version of the Thunderbird, the Sports Roadster. It was a nice effort but the car didn't really have the brakes and suspension that the extra power demanded to make a nice package.
    Long ago I named the 61-63 T-birds 'Banana Birds' because that's what they looked at from the sides.

    Sólo en un mercado opulento una marca puede confiar que tendrá buenas ventas un auto de más de cinco metros, ¡pero sin baúl!, y para sólo dos personas con un motor V8. El Thunderbird, un auto hecho sólo para dar paseos con la melena al viento con la máxima potencia y sin importancia de los consumos; símbolo del "American way of life".

    I had a chance to buy something similar about ten years ago. Would've only cost me $5k, and I had the money at the time. Watching this makes me want to cry.

    That's a beautiful restoration!! I always liked that style!! Ya don't hear much about that style, I guess cause the 55-57's were so iconic eh!!☺

  • @RamblinAround
    @RamblinAround  12 лет назад

    Glad it brought back some memories for you. It really is a great car. I'm sure it has plenty of power with that tri-power set up on there.

    My friend had a 62 with the 390 and a four barrel. Good for about 9-10 mpg on Premium. But if you have one, I guess you don't care about that...

    That brings back memories...Gary Davis, a former presidential candidate and self proclaimed world citizen, stiffed me on a stair railing job when i was about 16 and i stuffed a dead skunk under the seat of his beautiful Ford Thunderbird !...Looked just like this one....He actually just contacted me a few months ago, after all these years, and apoligized.

    When I was growing up, my best friend's father had a 65' TBird, he totaled it, then bought a 66', I had the opportunity to drive it once, that thing had so much power, if you touched the gas pedal too much, you lit up the back tires...I also remember having a plastic model of a 64' TBird...I love that body style. Love your videos!
