説明This 1960 Thunderbird has been in my family since 1978. My Grandfather bought it from the original owner in Los Angeles at that time and drove it back to Toledo, OH. Grandma wasn't too excited to give up her plane ticket for a ride across the country - including the dessert - in an non air-conditioned convertible. They lost the radiator on the way, but made it back to Ohio. I inherited it in 2000.It's pretty well equipped having power brakes, power steering, fender skirts, radio, power windows, power drivers seat, leather seats and the 3 speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission behind the Thunderbird Special 300 HP (gross) 352 ci V8. The only major options it's missing is the larger, Lincoln 350 HP (again, gross) 430 ci V8 and air conditioning.Grandpa didn't do much to it over those years. Aside from the radiator on the trip back from LA, he replaced the tired dash and had some minor work done on the top system and power windows. It wasn't done that well, and I'm having to redo much of it..It's not exactly original (it's had a repaint at some point), but it is unrestored. It's my toy and a bit of a work in progress. Right now, the power windows don't work (which is why they're all up in the photos) and the top's a mess. But who cares, I put it down in the spring and not back up until the fall. I've got a new top in the box ready to go on when I get the nerve to tackle that.The interior is about half re-done, the door and side panels are refinished, the seats are the next big project there. The leather is all cracked and splitting at the seams, but new leather is pretty pricey so I'm spending my money on things that will let me continue to drive it.Mechanically, she's very good. Even at 151,000 miles, it runs strong and starts every time. The tranny is tight and will even grab some rubber in the first two of the 3 gears. I have no idea if it's the original drive train, and Ford in these years didn't keep records of VIN numbers to engine numbers so there's no way to know for sure.The brakes were the first thing to get redone when I got it in 2000. Years of sitting had taken it's toll. There's a new set of shocks, ball joints and bushings ready to be installed as well. She really wallows and floats on the highway, mostly due to worn shocks.The only modification is the obvious one, a set of Boyd 17" Aluminum wheels. They really make the car. The wheels are Boyd Coddington Junkyard Dogs, 17" x 8", zero offset wrapped in 235/55R17 Pirelli P Zero Nero tires and fill the wheel wells nicely. The stock rims were 14" x 5.5", but they originally came with 8.00 x 14 bias ply tires which were about 28" tall. Even those truck like 55 series 17" Pirellis are shorter than stock. Possible future mods are front disks, heavy duty front stabilizer, rear stabilizer and lowering the nose an inch or so but mostly I'm planning on leaving it stock.
