429Thunderbird is on a distinguished road
Buckets

My '78 has buckets with console and floor shifter, 40K original owner (father bought it new in '78), he gave it to me about 15yrs ago and I still haven't changed the title. I've probably only seen about 3 or 4 others with the option. For some reason they did not make/sell a lot of them. I remember seeing a few Birds with the sports package ( belt buckles on the trunk) in the 80's, but I haven't seen any in the past 10yrs on the road or web. Where did they go? I have seen some interesting colour combos over the years on some birds (green with dark green roof and bottom, blue, black, red with tan top and bottom). Mine is all black (vinyl roof and bottom), with tan interior (med. and light chamois) got to admit it looks good. I got the big block itch a few years ago and dropped a '69 429/C6 mildly worked over and it really changed the personality of the car. I have some motor and wheels issue, but I'll save that for another post.
