By bad he means bad as right? Lol cammed 390 sounds amazing

[matrox]

One of the most beautiful cars ever built.

[AuchNein]

Love the sequential turn signals, my 68 Cougar had them as well.

[AnomalousOne]

Those era T-Birds are an overlooked commodity in the Hot Rod/Resto Mod community. Talk about a head turner!

[thekaiser]

Always a crazy sight seeing classic American automobiles driving around in Europe. I once saw a Cadillac De Ville driving around in Potsdamer Platz. I couldn’t believe my eyes…

[jgallo]

Sounds like a hell (in good way) and looks like heaven. Amazing build

[jessecuster]

That 390 sound is one of a kind. My father had a 69 falcon 390 It was a beast!

[claudiodominguez.]

It's not just a nice exterior, the interior and dash is incredible.

[rockandroll]

LOVE this Thunderbird! SO GORGEOUS and I love the way it sounds!

[matrox]

Yep..I was a kid who grew up in the 60s. Not old enuff to drive then but got to experience all the cool cars from the back seat.

Sweet build, i wish i had the time and money to build something worthy of being displayed next to that beauty

[dandunning]

Plate said 428 so my first guess was a 428. Sounded great as all Ford's do!

[grndiesel]

Thankfully these T-birds have not moved up in price like some of the other 60s cars. Gorgeous on the outside, and spaceship on the inside. For those of you that want one, they can still be found for much less money than a mustang of the same vintage.

Think his bad means good and I agree.Awesome.

That FE engine was a torque monster. I once put a set of balanced pistons and rods in a 428 for 10:1 compression and installed it in a 67 Fairlane in front of a close ratio toploader 4 speed that was in front of a 9" axle with a 3.25 ratio gearset in it. The car would do 160+ mph!
One time a woman was asked to go warm the car up and she went out and cranked it up without depressing the clutch! The neutral safety switch had unknowingly been by-passed years before and, being left in 1st gear, the engine started anyways and ran the car 3 feet to the block wall of the house and sat there chirping the tires with the firing of every piston! Probably doing 350-400 rpm. Good choke on that Holley 750 DP though!

[jacksonmiller]

I just got all the electronics on my 66 working. Can’t wait till she’s like yours!

[kendalgleish]

Brings back memories.
Had a 68 with a 429 Thunder Jet.
Powerful!

I was born in '69, so I was about 9 years too late, but a lot of them were still around while I was growing up. I just watched a video of purple custom a '72 Riviera! Talk about a huge car! I don't think there ever was, or ever will be anything bigger!

[brianlee]

Beautiful car and those sequential turn signals look wonderful! (Which is one of the reasons I'd get one)

MOST GORGOUS T-BIRD I HAVE EVER SEEN...DANG KEWL...
