@@BikerJim74There is a difference between quick and slow. These “land yachts” aren’t quick, but they’ll cruise at 75-80 mph all day like you’re on a cloud traveling in silent comfort.
@@BikerJim74 They're not about speed, it's all about the smooth ride and comfortable interior. Nothing rides like these cars anymore. The seats are like a comfy recliner in your living-room. Now, they make the seats hard and cheap. I spent 12 hour driving a fairly new vehicle as part of my employment and my butt and lower back was killing me. Drove my old 1985 Crown Victoria for 18 hours and I felt great. These old cars were wonderful on our roads today. The new ones today, you feel every single bump and jars your spine.
My parents had one of these in the mid 80s. Dad loved that car. We lost him 11 years ago to cancer. I would love to buy this! Dad used to take me out every Saturday morning in his T-Bird for breakfast then we would wash it and just cruise around. This takes me back! My favorite test drive video yet! And I've watched a ton of your videos over the years. Thanks for this Nick!
As a Brit with relatives in the the States I remember being so impressed with these land yachts. So iconically American. Not another country was making cars like this back then. No country had the roads for them! Glad that they’re is starting to be a little following for them now.
All these 70s boats are amazing to drive, nothing was ever better. But you will need to maintain them! Regularly. And repair from time to time. My friend's dad had a Buick Electra, 77. Man that thing was a serious couch! But it didnhave its problems like all the 70s cars. Cars today can't measure up to this. This car and others from this era are simply the best possible ride you can get. Super quiet, super comfortable. Love it!
I fell in love with the style of these Thunderbird's when they came out. I had a good friend who bought a brand new one. They were and still are a very classy car. This looks to be a beautiful example of one.
Nick, I believe the mileage is accurate. The exhaust system is the telltale sign. I saw the Ford Oval on the muffler. This is a classic example of an estate car. I really like it!
Why am I so obsessed with the 70's green? I would almost buy anything from that era if it was that color combo...lol. I am also obsessed with big floaty boat type cars as well...
I had a 1975 Ford Thunderbird back in 1980 and 1981 I was 15 - 16 years old Had the same motor in it mine had cb built in the am fm radio with right track My seats were leather Had reclining passenger seat My girlfriend and I enjoyed that 😂😂 Mine mine was brown with brown vinyl roof same set up
My first car was a 77 thunderbird. My wife called it my pimp mobile......lol for a big car it was fast Wish I could have kept her but that was 40yrs ago
Once you get used to the length of the hood, it's like commanding a battleship. Lots of roll, but goes where you point it. And the hood ornament is your aiming reticle.
I had a 1974 Thunderbird Back in 1981 to 1982 I was 16 - 17 year's old Same set up as this But mine was brown with a brown vinyl roof Wish I could afford it I'd buy it But my SSDI wouldn't lete afford it right now
Why didn't he shut the door so that buzzing would stop I would like to observe what he was doing but I couldn't focus on it because of that buzzing that guy had any sense he'd shut the blame door, looks like a real nice car I'd love to have it if I had the money I'd go up there and buy it
