1978 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"Good ole gas guzzler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Usual things for an older car - brakes, tires, tuneup, etc.
General comments?
Car for the most part is pretty good as a second car. A little stubborn when it has been sitting for a while. It does stall and backfire too and burns a lot of gas, but overall
It's a nice big beater to sport.
