I scored this BURRIED 1961 Ford Thunderbird for $150. It came with the property that a woman bought and I have no history on it. Let's see if it'll run and if we can flip it.

Well I have to admit that I did not think the Engine would ever run again. BUT you got it running Chris! WOW!!!

Me like yourself and the 57 peeps b4 me was sure it was not going to break free and then go and fire off and consume a volitle breath spuuter and finally exhale back to life. Mr. Richard Thomas how could we have even doubted the inevitable outcome?. This man is Top Shelf in All He Does so between Jen and Chris or 'ChrisJen' they are going to raise one heck of a crafty DIYer in their household that may just outpace the both of them once they hit their mid 40's.

Good eye, bud. It may be a Triumph Renoun(sp). Deep in my ^library^ is a Mayflower owners manual.

Reminds me of the old story about a guy whose car breaks down a block from a service station, he pushes the car there, tells the mechanic what happened, the mechanic pulls out a stethoscope, takes a listen, gets his ball peen hammer and carefully takes a whack at a specific spot. The mechanic tells the guy that that will cost him $50.00. The guy is shocked, and says, "I could have done that with my hammer". The mechanic replies, "I don't think so! I knew where to hit!" You, sir, are Mr. Determination, Mr. KnowHowToDoIt. Nice job.

That trailer coupler ain't goin' NOWHERE !!! 🤣 You are a genuinely kind person Chris, most folks would've verbally crucified the guy that worked on your trailer, but... you showed his failures and laid the blame on his equipment. Most folks wouldn't have done that. God sees how you treat people, and... He is pleased. 😇

Man, that is too funny, you were only 10 minutes from where I live! I am in UBE, in PA right across from Milford NJ. You were driving on a lot of the roads I like to cruise around on with my Foxbody. Too bad I didn't see you on the road, that would have been awesome! 29 is one of my favorite roads to cruise with the beautiful scenery.

The trim, glass, door handles, and insignia badges… etc are all easily worth $150. People don’t think of how much value there is in all the small, nearly impossible to find parts.

@michaelfinegan4533 2 часа назад

Enjoy watching your videos Chris, epically this one. My Uncle Ted bought 2 0f these T-birds NEW back in the old days, a 1962& a 1963. He would drop by my dad's house b(Clifton, NJ) to show me his new Thunderbird with all it's innovative features, air conditioning was one of those features, I forget the reason why he only kept the 62 for one year, but I think it had something to do with the new 63 having more options available, one being some sort of special type of pre-recorded music player, not a tape deck or CD, not even a 8 track, just amazing for it's time, maybe one of your viewers would know. Anyway, keep up the good work , I miss NJ, but who can afford it these days.

@HumourlessPig 7 часов назад

The rusty car at 42:17 is a Triumph Mayflower built in the UK from 49-53. Alloy head on a cast iron block. They would seize on - almost impossible to remove due to corrosion. I just love the Thunderbird. All the late 50s to early 60s cars were so cool. Shame it's rotted out.

@ronaldmiller2740 55 минут назад

HEY CHRIS ,, THESE OLD THUNDER CHICKENS ARE GREAT OLD CARS, BUT I THINK IT A PARTS CARS, GREAT WORK GETTING IT OUT .. AND SHOWING US THE OLD ENGINE THATS RUNNGING NOW ,, GOT IT SOLD , GREAT JUNK YARD . THX.

@lunarpking 4 часа назад

I LOVE the 61-63 Thunderbirds. Any Thunderbird of the 60's is great though, 60-69 were some of the best looking cars made and had quite a few innovations in them. My dream would be a 63 Thunderbird Monaco, I drove one a few years back and just didn't have the space to buy it.

@dj33036 3 часа назад

The '61-'63 are also my favorite cars. I've owned two '63's and a '61. My sister owned a '62. Unfortunately I'm just too old to be taking car of an older car like that now. My heart was broken when this guy just ripped that hood to pieces.

Absolutely the best channel on RU-vid…your content is unique. What I like about your channel is how you are so smart and repurpose …no waste (you say overkill…no crime in that…sleep at night with overkill) other thing is you are the same dude with 10 subs as you are now with many more…love the area you live in …love the heritage…I live in Canada..definitely would visit more USA states in the future…love your channel bud…look forward to the next one…🇨🇦

@MattsRageFitGarage 3 часа назад

The comment about breaking the crank triyng to get it unseized. I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to break a 390 crank, they are pretty beefy. Huge difference compared to any small block crankshaft. Good 390 cranks, rods, blocks are getting harder to find.

@georgeclontd4984 Час назад

For a 150 buck and its straight and complete and runs that the deal of the century. Congrat.

@mikesawyer4707 4 часа назад

The early sixties T birds were something special. I know I had one. The first thought I have when I see a specialty car like this that has been sitting I cannot help but wonder why they parked it. What stopped it dead in its tracks over fourty years ago. Maybe this fella can find a small clue as to why. Good luck.

@johnsarian_cu 4 часа назад

Those early 60s Tbirds were so ahead in the interior styling IMHO. Like a cockpit. Decades later designers started to copy it again. The jet age styling overall on of my favorites.

Trailer looks pretty good, I don’t know what kind of welding machine he has but it’s probably a 110 unit! I had one until I bought my Lincoln 180 , 220v and I love it and it welds 3/8” materials and if you heat 1/2” up it will weld it too!
