1977 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"This is definitely a good solid fast reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first purchased the car it had rust all over including underneath the vinyl roof.
I am currently replacing the motor because I am 16 and in the hunt for a faster car.
General comments?
When I first bought the car I was able to drive it home and being I was only 14 at the time I didn't push my luck, but I hammered on it and this car just flew down the straight stretches and didn't quiver or squeal the tires in the corners.
Interior is a master piece for the year of production it has so many fine touches that its something I could spend hours in at a time with out knowing I'm in a car.
