1976 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"I love this car, I can't imagine driving anything else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My TBird was my parents before I decided to restore it. I have only done a partial restoration but the engine is completely rebuilt. I repair things as they go wrong, which is quite often.
General comments?
This car rides beutifully! It is extremely comfortable and is extremely fun to drive.
It takes very long to warm up in the morning, and gets horrible gas mileage, about seven miles to the gallon.
