1979 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"Sexy, in a weird 70s way"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater hose busted because of age and high revving of the engine. The fact that it still needs to be smogged and I have dual cherry bomb mufflers.
General comments?
It's a good car, the best old car I've owned so far and plan to buy a '74 T-Bird.
