hey guys, its been awhile. anyways, finally pulled the cover of the 68 and started tinkering with it again. heard a funny noise while turning to get it to start, and comes tp find out its water pump... is ready to toss the fan through the rad. I cant find one through a local parts house, summit...

Moved the 68 today and heard a pretty good bang and knock from the rear end. Jack it up and the rears are locked together like it had a spool in it, so something in the diff let go, anyway was wondering if anybody happens to know what spline it would be. I figure being a car would be 28 but...

Hey ya'll, kind of an odd question, but a question none the less. Anybody know who would make headers that would fit a 385 series (429-460) in a 68-71 bird? Might be pickin up a 71 soon with no motor and droppin my 460 in it to give to my uncle, and I'd rather spend the couple extra buck for the...

dont quit! Agreed, it takes time. Mine isnt as pristine as gemman's bird, but its still the princess of the bunch. Mine is a 68, pretty soild, needs work, but its a runner. It was stored for over 20 years, the gentleman was planning on restoring it, kept moving it from place to place till he...

BIG stuff pull the rear end, considering its a 9inch, and I'd pull the motor and trans, a decent fe (390-428) that still turns is work a couple of bucks itself, either for one to build up, a core, rebuild, or sell to someone looking to get there hands on the harder and harder to find fe engine...

welcome! Welcome to the flock! lol. I hope you enjoy the car!

pleasure or profit? Local paper, clist, ebay would be decent places to start, but as far as return (profit trying to flip it) all depends on what you pick it up for, and who you sell it to, but unless you pick up a screaming deal, put no or very little into it, and can sell it with a good...

color code.. Have you tried looking up the color at your local automotive paint supply store? Or any places online to get a better idea of what the color will look like. And as far as the value of the car, anytime you change something to something that is NOT original, you generally will see...

The drivers door on my 68 has been replaced, the paint is flaking off the inside of the door revealing a light blue color, which according to the vin decoder is turquise, and the car is black, with tan interior. From every where else on the car, the paint is all black (inside of hood,trunk, etc)...

Found some things.. Thank you, although mine doesnt have the switch, gonna have to trace it and see what happens. Found the stuff for the gas tank, just dropped the tank tonight, and dropping it off for repair tomorrow. So far the only question I have at the moment is, are the replacement vinyl...

Maybe i'm a whore?lol I personally own a 66 and a 68, but over the years, me and the family have had a 71, 79, 86, and an 88, and have loved them all. Maybe I'm just a whore like that,lol. But personally I dig birds of all ages, at least till 89, when they started looking like jelly beans, like...

Not original... I assumed that it was the orignal engine, which would be a 390 0r a 428, both of the FE series. As far as putting it back together right, do some reading up on engine building, it is about proper method, measuring and common sense things, like taking your time and double...

yeah and no... I love the idea of being original, and thats a cool out side the box idea, but the 390 fe is an amazing engine, thats why u dont see many swaps in these cars. The 390 is enough to push these cars around nicely in stock form and will light the tires on command and if that aint...

Whatcha need them for? I got a nice (not perfect) 68 2dr, got a few pics of her, so what you need the pics for?

I expanded the flock today, my 66 now has company in the form of a low mileage 68, black,black top, tan interior, with the typical bells and whisltes and luckly almost everything works. Just a couple questions about it, from what I havent been able to find from my research on this beautiful...

Do It! AGREED! I picked my 66 up for 500 to part it out, but then drove it.... its not parts anymore lol. Awesome cars, I'm sure if you have mechnical knowage and like vintage tin, you wont have any problem falling in love with it. Worst comes to worse, you buy it dont like it, and resell it...

Anything that you would look at with buyin a used car? Does everything work? Is it in good shape, does it look like its going to need anything, whats original, whats replaced, and does the work on the car look like its been done properly, or has it been hacked up? And as far as value goes, its...

Also make sure they do a complete alignment, because there are alot of shops out there that do a "4 wheel alignment" but really only do a "toe and go" only adjusting the toe if its out to keep the tires wearing well. GRANTED most of the time that was the only thing some of the vehicles needed...

If my memory serves me correctly, the ride height specs are listed on thunderbird ranch's website. They are listed under concourse specs, with a little looking you'll find them and the way they are mearsured, I'd imagen they are the closest thing that you'll find.

I was wondering the same thing, I just picked up a 66 this past summer and played the game of "will this fit over these huge calipers" and came up with the same answer as you, I tried crown vic turbine wheels, and whatever else in my pile of parts i could find. I found a set of 5 slot mags...
