1979 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau review from UK and Ireland
"Looks ugly, but that's its beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some clicking noise from the electric seats.
Running lumpy and rich, but recent service and change of all filters oil and gearbox oil should fix the problem.
Alternator bearings collapsed and had to be fully rebuilt.
Interior looks as nice and clean as it probably did in 79.
General comments?
Really comfortable
Sounds nice
Puts a big grin on face when driving.
