@@greatdaneacdc Yeah, a 62 T Bird convertible looks like a auto show prototype... ALMOST perfect, but something is off. On the other hand, early to mid 60's Ford interiors were hard to beat.
They certainly are. I was shopping around looking at old mustangs. Mixed in with them was a 1969 tbird, which was running under 1/3 the cost of a mustang in similar condition. And the tbird comes with a bigger motor and way more factory options like power disc brakes with ABS, AC, power steering, cruise control, dual exhaust with H pipe, power windows, power bucket seats. If you want stuff like that on a mustang from the same era, you need to go aftermarket. All I'm really missing is an overdrive. Gonna toss on a gearvendors kit.
Thankfully these T-birds have not moved up in price like some of the other 60s cars. Gorgeous on the outside, and spaceship on the inside. For those of you that want one, they can still be found for much less money than a mustang of the same vintage.
What did the 390 come out of? Was it a truck motor or did it have the medium riser heads that the T birds and mustangs had. Man those were great for street use!

Always a crazy sight seeing classic American automobiles driving around in Europe. I once saw a Cadillac De Ville driving around in Potsdamer Platz. I couldn’t believe my eyes…
That FE engine was a torque monster. I once put a set of balanced pistons and rods in a 428 for 10:1 compression and installed it in a 67 Fairlane in front of a close ratio toploader 4 speed that was in front of a 9" axle with a 3.25 ratio gearset in it. The car would do 160+ mph! One time a woman was asked to go warm the car up and she went out and cranked it up without depressing the clutch! The neutral safety switch had unknowingly been by-passed years before and, being left in 1st gear, the engine started anyways and ran the car 3 feet to the block wall of the house and sat there chirping the tires with the firing of every piston! Probably doing 350-400 rpm. Good choke on that Holley 750 DP though!
Thunderbird you're better to start off in the $7,000 area these things are not easy to work on actually they might be the hardest 60s car to ever work on. You have to buy somebody else's Misfortune because you'll never get your money out of these things. But who knows 15 years from now they might come into their own
@@peterdarr383 It's not because of the sequential stuff, it's because they are red lights, not orange. Using your break light as a turn signal is unsafe.
@@schwuzi Then it would be easy enough to do in amber in Europe, but still, in 1963 many Europeans drove simple 1 Litre cars while Americans drove TANKS bathed in Chrome.
The sequencal lights were controlled by a motor driven set of cams in the trunk, there were 4 switches one controlled the fender mounted indicator and the front light too.. Drove a 66 in high school. Miss it terribly. Fun fact the 66 convertable is the rarest of all the t birds. Even rarer thanks to the movie Thelma and Louise
when i was young we (dad) had 2 65s, 1 blue, one white and a metallic gold 66. heavier than you might think. not much on take off but top end was good enough for me at 16...
He switched over to digital on the sequential I still run the mechanical sounds like a windshield wiper motor when you hit the blinker you can tell because the digital is a little faster
That Bird is so SWEET! I had a T-bird once. A white ‘78 with T-top convertible roof and a stock 351. Nothing like this classic black beast. What a beauty! And what a nasty-good sound!!
Nice to see somewhere in the world T-birds are appreciated, here in the 🇺🇸 you can still find these relatively cheap because almost nobody collects them lol...I always liked these in resto mod or muscle style 👍

In model year 1964, FoMoCo went to a pedal operated switch for brake lights, to replace the former pressure switch on the master cylinder. I have had trouble with these on even 1980s Fords, to the point where they wouldn't light up in back!
Ford had about 2 decades of bad brake switch design. Everything from my 98 Explorer to 2000's Crown Vics. The switch activates later than it should, allowing a driver to brake lightly without the lights coming on. NHTSA should've done something.
I was born in '69, so I was about 9 years too late, but a lot of them were still around while I was growing up. I just watched a video of purple custom a '72 Riviera! Talk about a huge car! I don't think there ever was, or ever will be anything bigger!
What a beauty. My step father had a brand new 64. I loved that car. Thing would spit icicles at you when the A/C was on. Fords have the best A/C's in the market.

My dad's car was such a great cruiser, and QUIET. I wouldn't like all that racket in a stately car like that.
Me too! My uncle was sales manager at a Pacific NorthWest Ford dealership throughout the 1960's and always had a demo for my aunt as a daily driver. In fact through the 60's they never had a family car until around 1968 when he picked up a '57 T-Bird traded in for something new the seller bought.

Pay attention to what ? That thing is a land yacht, finding a parking spot on the street in any busy city in Europe for that will be harder than winning the lottery. Safe to say you will have to get creative and squeeze in some tight places. Wheel turning radius won't be any help either...
My very first car a 65 it had an 390 police interceptor engine so stock was 390 hp 428 ft lbs before a total rebuild which of coarse meant .40 over bore a FE 260 truck engines crank for a deep stroke and a mid range cam . It had a really deep growling thump noise that was felt with just pleasure to behold. Was it fast nah not really at 5200 lbs with an empty gas tank but a fantastically smooth ride upon a rough pot holed road that left all the new Caddy and Lincoln drivers being jostled about in their brand new supposed to be higher end quality cars. Only real problem was the beastly sure could burn the gas at a shocking rate if you were heavy on the go faster pedal and I sure was at 18. Crazy thing is these cars have always been really dirt cheap compared to almost all of the other cars of the sixties that are collectible.

My very first car a 65 it had an 390 police interceptor engine so stock was 390 hp 428 ft lbs before a total rebuild which of coarse meant .40 over bore a FE 260 truck engines crank for a deep stroke and a mid range cam . It had a really deep growling thump noise that was felt with just pleasure to behold. Was it fast nah not really at 5200 lbs with an empty gas tank but a fantastically smooth ride upon a rough pot holed road that left all the new Caddy and Lincoln drivers being jostled about in their brand new supposed to be higher end quality cars. Only real problem was the beastly sure could burn the gas at a shocking rate if you were heavy on the go faster pedal and I sure was at 18. Crazy thing is these cars have always been really dirt cheap compared to almost all of the other cars of the sixties that are collectible.

that’s what I was thinking....
Since they came out I’ve always like the thunder bird and cougar turn signals.
Elle est incroyablement stylé cette voiture 👌
Love it, best years of the T-Bird in my opinion.
Lindo demais ronco maravilhoso e música para os meus ouvidos
I'm not a big Ford guy but who wouldn't want this sweet ride
