A typical
story that never happened to me, until a few weeks ago. Driving to work day
after day, passing a small auto repair shop
in
the high desert of
Southern California. One
morning a really sharp 1960 Thunderbird showed up behind the fence of the shop.
Every morning I drove by thinking, man
what a nice looking old T-Bird. Sure enough one morning , a For Sale
sign appeared in the side window. I hit
the brakes with both feet. I thought for sure I would be let
down by an out of reach sale price. The sign read “ New Motor, Brakes,
Tires, Carb and Tune up” “$3,800
or Best offer”. It was 5 in the
morning so calling the number
would
be out of the question at this time of day. I could not wait for a decent hour
to arrive. I called the number and
within a few hours I drove the car home.
So it begins one by one, piece by piece every thing is coming together. The
Radio was a simple matter of plugging in the antenna lead to get working. The
Steering wheel was
The only missing original
piece replaced by the correct one on Ebay.
A Granada
Disk brake conversion is being put together now. A new exhaust system has been installed.
I truly love my new found ride and already
Squarebirds.org has been the answer to many questions not found in the manuals
I have acquired. More to come!!!
