    I remember those 60 Thunderbirds when I was very young. Our neighbor had a couple of them. Northern California redwoods.
    It was a very light yellow T-Bird.. who won a move to Southern California back in 68 my aunt had one her ghost has 63 cream color. Her nothing just floated down the highway .
    And now. I live in the middle of the state. And I have a 02 black on black triple black T-Bird.😊😎👍🏽🤙🏾🎸🙋🏽‍♂️😎.

    You guys knocked it out of the park with that old lady. It's remarkable how overall good condition it's in, and like some of the other vintage Ford's from your channel, it almost seems like the car was sitting waiting for you. That car has buckets of character, and I wish cars were made like this still.
    The 428 sounds fantastic, and I would imagine it's got torque for days.
    Solid revival as always!

    I owned a 62 Thunderbird that looked exactly as your car here to the "T". Except for the windows, they were powered windows. I purchased it back in 1968 while I was stationed in the Air Force in southern California. It drove and it had a wonderful ride. It was certainly a beautiful car.

He hasn’t talked to me since I’ve been 16 because he knows the conversations going to come around to trying to get the car started. Don’t know why he’s so hung up on it, but it breaks my heart whenever I think about it. Seeing videos like this always gets my hopes up though! Thanks for posting.

    When I was 19 and in the army, I bought a 1976 bird. 460 ci ,every option except moon roof. Loved that car for 2 weeks. Then a 18 wheeler made a last second right turn from the left lane and destroyed my beautiful Thunderbird. I have always wanted to get another but it never happened. Pushing 60 years old now and would love a chance at buying one. Anything from 66 to 76 would be great. I would even buy this one. Hook me up guys. Love your vids!

      @kingkrimson8771 Год назад

      Warm climate is good for the metal but you should see what it does to interiors unless a car is garaged constantly!
      And yes, cars of that era had thicker sheet metal but factory rustproofing was in its infancy, it wasn't unusual for a car in a northern climate where salt was used on the roads in winter to be a rusted-out hulk within five years.
