I just inheritied a sweet 65 Thunderbird from my grandfather.
The thing has been garaged its whole life and has the original vinyle top, interior, and the paint is still shinny.
It is fully loaded and has the FE 390 ci in it.
I was wondering is anyone familiar with the aftermarket world for this car. Stuff is harder to find for it than I thought. I want to keep it as stock as possible but upgrade some minor things to make it realiable. Was thinking an electronic ignition a new aftermarket carb (stock replacement nothing crazy), and possibly a C-6 trany with a gear vendor to replace the cast iron heap in it. It also needs a new gas tank and some fuel lines. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank goodness for my diesel truck or I would never have been able to go pick this 6500lb monster up.
Joe
