Thanks
It's a '63 and been in the family for 25+ years. My Mom used it as a daily driver in the 80's and early 90's. She didn't have to drive to far to go to work. She lost intrest in it and when my wife and I got married in 01, she asked if I wanted it. I've repainted it and put a '61 hood on it because it has the ribs along the sides and it accents the ribs on the '63 fenders and doors. I also put American Racing Torque Thrust IIs on. Other than that just general maintenance. It's a lot of fun. But since I got the Vette bug, it doesn't get out as much as it should. I take it to criuse nights with my 5 year old. She gets a kick out of the way it looks and like shining it up at the shows. I'll post some picture if people don't mind that this is a Vette forum.

I had a 64 that I parked at my sisters house when I went to Germany in 79. Planned on redoing when I got home. Brother in law kicked it out of the barn and parked it out front by the road and kids came along and busted out all the windows. he didn't tell me about it and just left it sit there until it was comppletely ruined. he told me, when I got back, that I needed to do something with the car. I told him, you ruined it, you do something with it and I didn't speak to him for over a year.
The inside was mint and all it needed was a basic engine overhaul, as it used some oil, and new paint.
I am still upset over that everytime I think about it.
yes we want pics

Thunderbird Pics
Sorry everyone. I just got back from a night out with family. I would have posted the pictures earlier. The white '63 is mine and the teal '61 is my brothers. He's had his since '90. 1 owner car. I also figured I'd post a picture of the car that got me my 1st Corvette,(the one I have now.) It was an 1982 Camaro Z28 Pace Car, 4 speed, t-tops, 305 carb, all around nice car. I sold it to get the Vette. I have more pictures of the Thunderbird and Camaro on the computer somewhere. They have pictures of their respective interiors. Again, if you all don't mind, I'll look and post even if it's not right away and dig up this thread or start a new one. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

It was a nice dashboard, and it had the swing away steering wheel. They are nice cars but it did drive like a boat. I know this older man and his brother is the original owner of a 63 with 16,000 original miles on it but he won't part with it. I guess it just sits in his garage with junk on top of it, what a waste.
