The biggest problem with the retro bird was the engine was too weak to justify the cost of the car. If they would have put in a 5.4 liter 300hp engine in it then it would have been worth the price that they were selling it for.

[OsbornTramain]

the claim in this commercial that the horse power was 350hp? Was that inflated and inacurate?

[JET997u]

This car is leaning over on its sides going just 10 mph!

The 350hp "Thunderbird special " Was avaialble but was very, very, rare. Standard engine would of been a Y block in 1960 i believe, The 390 was prolly the best overall performer.

Sorry I kinda missed what car where whe talking about here ????

@OsbornTramain That was with the 430 Liincoln engine ( J code I believe ). Not too many were made with it. Most had a 300 hp 352 and some had a 235 hp 2bbl 352. I think the figures were inflated. There really isn't much difference in the 300 hp 352 in '58/ '60 and the 250hp 352 in '64/'66.

Nice house.

[silverbird58]

i think so they my have cut down main drag to ocean side ?

[silverbird58]

i think i really pounded out 350 hp, but man you coulnt stop it too quickly. today with CELL PHONE ITITS need more distance or better yet as shown here MORE SHEET METAL

[silverbird58]

wronk the bird was too much for that 30k dollar car me i liked it ..

[silverbird58]

what ever does the most work requires the most mantinance,, if you add indipendant rear like ford did on the explorer all you did was add complexcity to a simple RUGGED design.. me ill take that FE block anyday and the IRON CASE cruse o matic , and please tell me that the ford 31 spline or the 28 spline 9 " rear was more dependible than any gm peice at the time after all they dont run toyota rear ends in nascar today. fFord has enough sport coops . no money out there. ill nod to

bird
