Can I Get A 1959 Thunderbird To Run, After 33 Years Parked? 

Yea those "Roach Clips" really come in handy when working on cars. LOL. And other things.

..those little things you edit in are f*ckin hilarious 😂🎉

..what a cool 50's Sports Car

Always cool to hear them run after so many years, I will keep watching.

..the interior of that is Beautiful.🔥🌌

Awesome classic

Nice trunk of goodies

Fun vid. That idled sweet. Really expected at least one dead hole. Nice that your daughter hung out with you and seemed genuinely enthused when it started. Red on red is awesome. Funny how we all start from different beginnings...i was given a 59 bird, blue on blue, engine out and missing some pieces, no trans, interior in boxes, but clean and rust free. Currently sitting in my barn and waiting for some other projects to end. Thats an Autolite carb, don't throw it away! The tag is still on it so should have the numbers you need

Hot damn she's alive. Got to subscribe to your channel to see if you go all the way with it or not. Great video.

nice work mate the best from holland

U got a new sub I remember watching vgg 2nd video and look where he is now

Brings back memories, those were the cars you didn’t mind working on great video!

Possibly the vaccum advance on the stumbling acceleration. Good Luck!

If I recall correctly, the aluminum triangular tab that is on the top front left screw of the carburetor contains the information you need to get a rebuild kit. I am sure these days you can input the info you find on it into a search on the net to find out as well.

There is a metal tag on the front of the carb. Show that tag to an auto parts man and he can get you a carb kit for it.

Flip??!! That’s a special rare keeper…you’ll regret it later.

Wooo! Love it mate! :) I'm from the UK, so we never got these iconic cars over here. Fortunately we also don't have parasitic HOAs over here either! Thanks for documenting this! Best of luck for your channel, sir!

How snout looking at that tag under a carb screw? It probably has the info you want.

DUH there was a spare Carburetor in the trunk!

As much as I love classic cars I'm glad you got that out of our community. It was an eyesore. Needs a garage. Needs LOTS of love. I hope you can get it back to its original beauty!🥰

The video is fine, that music has to go, please!

352 is in the Ford FE engine family, which includes 390 car engines, the 427, plus several different displacements of Mercury/Edsel versions and truck versions. If that's the original engine it's a high-compression, 300-hp engine.

Can you tell Danielle that Victor from California says hello ? 🤫🤫😎

jadore , et en plus avec de l humour

tag on carb tells all

Cool video. Just subscribed.

Do a burnout!!

352 is not a small block, its a durable high compression high torque tugger. Always pull heads, clean and lube bores then pressure the oil system before turning. Change all fluids, grease all zercs, all belts, hoses and rubber brake lines, all wheel cylinders and install dual circuit master cylinder and front disk brakes, install pertronix. Good for another 30 years. Do NOT tow square birds on rear tires very far or fast. Can be push started. The redone dash and interior saved huge work and bux, new headliner still available. If real lucky heater core/control valve was checked and electric wiper motor installed. Non pitted tail light bezels worth bux. I've got a ton of spare square bird parts including non rusted body. Salt cancer is simple mig work, rockers are critical body structure. Cheap chinese rear drums are garbage, I save good rear drums. I've been building vehicles since 1968, favorite driver of my collection by far is my console shift factory 3 speed OD 59 bird with built 390, long tube headers and front disk brakes. Square birds very safe cars even by todays standards given 3 point belts and disk brakes, see heavy gauge inner fenders seam welded to frame. You obviously don't like the car, let someone else finish it.

Carburetor looks to be an Autolite 4100 it was a ford carburetor there should be Model numbers on the front of the body it has a tag

It is a autolite 4100 carb

I can see where this would be a bright RED eyesore

Should be a motorcraft a little silver table on the top of the top of the carburetors is the model number

Tell Danielle she needs to be more involved with the production and video ! 🙏 She looks like she has something to say a valuable opinion.

What part of PA are you at? Looks a lot like where I’m from (pike county)

The car is not a POS but maybe some previous owner(s) could be saddled with that moniker.

What does the tag say on the top of the carburetor?

Batmobile!

Its an autolitye and the tag on the front screw should have all the info right on it. The part number should B(AF or close to it.

I marvel at the stupidity you see every time. Try start w a dry bowl,crank till you burn the starter, and THEN fill the carb w fuel!!! They'll fire, but they won't run w an empty carb!

VOLUME TO LOW CANT HERE YOU.

I would remove both heads too get a better look at the top of each piston and also get too clean them good 🤔🙏🎯
