I ow ned a 1957 Merc with the turnpike cruiser engine 364 ci. It would blow any Chevy off the road the only thing it couldn't go past was a gas station. It got about 8 mpg.

    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!

    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!

    I just finished a 3 year restoration of a 62 T-Bird with a 390 300hp. It was the same color combination as yours white/Blue interior but it was in much worse condition. So, since I had to restore the car I changed the color combo to Candy Apple Red outside and all White interior with red piping on the seats and red carpet and added red seat belts for safety. It came out beautiful. Used the original Kelsey Hayes wires, and just left off the spinners on rears and added skirts. Came out BEAUTIFUL and made the cover and centerfold of the August 2022 issue of Motoring Tampa Bay Magazine after winning a big car show here. Love my 62 Bird!!

    • @kingkrimson8771
      @kingkrimson8771 Рік тому

      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.
