    Question about post #31........not that I really care about Bill Cosby.

    But why is he driving a Rover TC 2000 sedan? And yes, there IS a Thunderbird somewhere in that pic.

    Given that it's a right-hand drive vehicle, he's entering the passenger side, probably in an attempt to steal the radio

    Look again. It's LHD. These WERE sold in the U.S.

    In that case, he's stealing the entire car

    In the 'Vehicles I regret selling department', my 1962 Thunderbird was one of them. Sort of fell in love with them in the mid 60's when my step-mom's boss showed up at the house in a beige '61 or '62 (can't remember which year).

    Finally was able to buy the turquoise '62 in the mid 80's but the sellers 'hid' the fact it had a spun crank bearing, and at the time, we just didn't have the money to rebuild it. Then the kids came along.......

    Well, a T-Bird would fit in your garage much better than a full-size wagon. And the 61-63 Thunderbirds are actually usually pretty reasonable. Maybe you can relive that dream now Marshall.

    Oh boy - I was just starting to explore the used vehicle market to determine what kind of vehicle I might be able to afford some time next year, and then Jeremiah gives me ANOTHER possibility............ Hard to get lumber home from the big box store in a '62 Thunderbird, though - but you COULD just get a small trailer and use the SUV, which has a hitch receiver.

    Gee, THANKS, Jeremiah..... (LOL)

    I always thought that reversing Holley 2-barrels on a 3X2 setup would starve the metering blocks on hard acceleration.
