Shane HeidMar 12, 2012 Yes the portholes were 57 only 58 she got two more seats and ditched the port widows
Devin BabynMar 10, 2012 My dads 300 I6 is a beast. Still runs like new with over 500,000km on it. He just wishes he turbo'd it like his buddy did when they both got theres
Clint EdwardsMar 10, 2012 @Paul depends. Ford knows how to make a bulletproof engine, look at the 300 I6. And then again they've made engines like the 4.2 V6. They're like any manufacturer, they've made legends as well as lemons.
Paul LissonaMar 10, 2012 Ik fords are reliable though, I've noticed that for years.
Rami WilsonMar 10, 2012 I agree With Shane. When I worked at an independent shop we had a guy who brought us his '65 convertible and hardtop. When I would drive one of them, I couldn't stop playing with the power vent windows!
Jason DannheimMar 10, 2012 Look! The family across the street took delivery of a brand new....golf cart!
JGL ScuderiaMar 10, 2012 would rather have a mustnag. but it alright.
Shane HeidMar 10, 2012 My favorite was 65, the gen after this. They look amazing! Sequential taillights, information center, and standard air conditiong. Saweet
Dillon DixonMar 10, 2012 Very nice, but I like the 50's T-Birds better.
Description: The second generation was launched in 1958 and this was when things really began to, shall we say, expand. Senior Ford management felt that sales would be more limited by leaving the car as a two-seat...Add Comments5
Shane HeidMar 12, 2012 Still drive for fun too, glad to see there are lots of you out there
Drew StorrustenMar 10, 2012 Exactly, gotta cruise to have. There's no fun in sitting in your garage or driveway looking at your car.
Andy LopezMar 10, 2012 Your right about that because I do it ever opportunity I have.
Buddy RobinsonMar 10, 2012 I still go driving for fun, and I'm certain I'm not alone
Shane HeidMar 10, 2012 Back when gas didn't matter, and people went drivin for fun
Description: Throughout the 1960s, the Thunderbird continued to grow in size with each new generation and was soon forced to go more upmarket with the introduction of the Mustang, another four-seater coupe/con...Add Comments4
Shane HeidMar 12, 2012 They didn't make a Lincoln turbo so the BMW beating 87 turbo coupe t bird was the stand out for ford then
Jason DannheimMar 10, 2012 By the 80s, it was all about the Lincoln Mark VII with the Mustang's 5.0 for personal luxury performance at Ford.
Paul LissonaMar 10, 2012 I had a 84 haha with a 302.
Shane HeidMar 10, 2012 The 80s thunderbirds got a little sad. Otherwise I can't think of a bad generation
Shane HeidMar 10, 2012 Gorgeous. The tonneau sets it off, gives it a two seater look
Description: It was discontinued in 1997 only to return in 2002 as a retro styled tribute to the first generation. It ended production in 2005 after disappointing sales. Since then, Ford has focused solely on deve...Add Comments3
Shane HeidMar 12, 2012 Ya Clint I would love one if not for the feminine quality it has, I'll stick with my 94
Clint EdwardsMar 10, 2012 Only problem I had with the newer ones, every one I've ever seen had a woman driving it. Hell, my aunt had one.
Greg LewisMar 10, 2012 The 2000's were well made and had good use of engine, they were getting ready for the mustangs big power/small block research
Description: It still even has the original AM radio and clock, both of which are still working. Powered by a 390 cu in V8 with 300hp, it has 82,221 miles on the odometer, which isn't bad at all for a 50 year...Add Comments5
Shane HeidMar 12, 2012 Thanks jerry, and that is a lot of miles Sam, your stupid. Those old v8s wore out damn fast after 100k in general there are obviously exceptions, trust me I work on old cars every day
Jerry ColeMar 11, 2012 He said fifties as in a car in it's fifties. I know what he meant
Sam CoppingerMar 11, 2012 Shane......are you stupid? That's extremely low miles, and this car is from 1962, not the "fifties"
Shane HeidMar 10, 2012 That is a lot of miles for a fifties car lol
Tim PreisingerMar 10, 2012 We have more technology then god and we can't seem to match our interior designs from 50 years ago. Can't figure that one out
Drew StorrustenMar 10, 2012 Aaaaahhh beautiful!!! Everything just wraps into itself. It all just flows together.
Devin BabynMar 10, 2012 Why can't they make an interior like this anymore. I'd say the 50's/60's were the peak for american interiors by far
Paul LissonaMar 10, 2012 Looks really high quality too.
Shane HeidMar 10, 2012 Red leather looks so awesome
Dillon DixonMar 10, 2012 Sweet interior, gotta love the chrome!
Haha I saw this an I knew you would be excited
