what's funny is that when I was a kid, my parents had a car almost identical to this one. In fact, the car never really has escaped my father. When my parents split up, Mom kept the Thunderbird and traded it for a new, at the time, Ford Escort.
The car my father built is a 429V8 backed by a C6 and a 9inch Ford out back.
He shaved the hood emblem off, added a Boss 429 hood scoop (so the air cleaner would fit) and a calibrated 140mph speedometer out of a 77 LTD II cop car.
