I'm sure some of you have already seen this but...pretty wild car. I'd like to have one set up like this to go along with my '88. (But then I'd like to have a lot of things.
1983-Ford-Thunderbird (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-Ford-Thunderbird_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ98062QQitemZ4564788070QQrdZ1)
awesome car! those kinds of things make me want to keep mine and race it...too bad I cant
Nice but 6.50s must be his 1/8th mile time because 800hp isn't enough to break 6s.
I like it :D . But a 460 with manual breakes is streetable?
That's sweet. A guy I met at a car show had an 85 that was set up for drag racing but had a 351 instead. They just look so cool like that. One area where the T-Bird shines over the Cougar. IMO the fox Cougar body is just no good visually for drag racing.
Spiffy T-bird.. but I doubt anyone here would buy it. It would seem that most of us here would rather build our cars our way than buy one pre-built. (even if the way someone wants to build it makes it similar to that car) I think the best we could hope for is that someone buys it and becomes an Fox-Bird/Cougar enthusiast in the process, and comes looking for places like this for more info on how to take care of it.
Stilll drooooling....
Looks pretty hot, and to be honest, I'll never be able to build something like that. If I wanted what it had to offer, I'd have to buy it built. Wish I had the smarts and time...
shagy! I've always had a soft spot for the four-eye thunderbirds. I wanna build one someday. I got an '84 Turbo Coupe a couple years ago to pull an engine out of, woulda kept it if it wouldn't have been totally thrashed (and if it would've had keys and a title also)
Uh-oh... let's hope this doesn't start a Cougar vs. T-Bird war! Rawr!
If I had a four-eye car thats what I would want it to look like. Big meats in the back and skinny's in the front. Stroked big block with some crazily built auto and a 9 inch out back. I agree I would rather build a car than buy it. "Its not what you buy its what you build!" Good looking and well built car...I like how he painted it a stock appearing color with no zany graphics or anything.
