Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Three cheers to Kelly Castle for keeping these beautiful birds in flight! Thank you for posting this, Lou. Summer Rain Metallic is my new favorite color 🩵

Wow "dynamic turn signals" 50 years before Audi. Absolutely beautiful car.

Thanks for keeping these beauties on the road. ❤

Very cool. Engine bay very clean. Oh yea, luxurious and throaty. He’s quiet the collector, great these cars are still rolling.

🙋‍♂️THANKS LOU,KELLY FOR SHARING ANOTHER T-BIRD ,WE LOVE 💕 KELLY COMBO 😁💚💚💚

Absolutely stunning T-Bird! Love the color and the "tweaks" that he made using different model year aspects. Once again, Lou, you deliver a fantastic car!

I agree, Lou. Kelly's T-bird is just amazing. The paint color is perfect. I thought it was actually a Ford factory color, and was surprised to hear it was a Prius choice. No Prius ever looked this good!! Lou, Kelly, thanks for showing us this 'unique beauty' 👍

I never ever approve of modifying a classic car. That said, I think this just may be the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen. Bravo!!!

I like it! Mr. Castle always brings the best of the best T-birds, and his custom creation is no exception. It turned out nicely and it looks fantastic in that blue paint. Quite the classy interior, too. Thanks, Lou!

Beautiful T-bird! Love the colour. Thanks Lou!

Wow! Kelly's Combo Bird is truly done right. I love it. Thanks!

Best looking Prius paint job ever! These Thunderbirds are beautiful cars that have aged very well. Talk about personal luxury - It doesn't get better than this for Ford Motor Company in that category!

How impressive does this 1968 Ford Thunderbird look in that "Summer Rain Metallic Blue" paint in the sunlight! I liked the front with the bird symbol adorning the flat grill that hides the attractive retractable headlights; apart from the elegant white roof and the long, one-piece rectangular guide with the Thunderbird letters in the middle. The interior looks very elegant; from the doors with that large chrome bird logo, to its stylized white seats next to the black console and its wood-framed instruments. Finally, that final shot of the tour was very beautiful; where you could see the beautiful paint on the hood shining along with that hill in the background! Congratulations to its owner, Kelly Castle, for successfully combining parts from those three Thunderbirds models, and achieving this beautiful and unique "The Combo Bird"! Best regards, Lou!

Fabulous Bird.

Wow! Lou, you're killing me. Love these Birds. 👍

What a great looking Thunderbird T Bird. The 429 engine makes it even more impressive and i love the colors. Thank you Lou.

Wonderful and that Gentleman clearly knows and likes his TBirds!

Beautiful thunderbird, owned a 1987 bird and really enjoyed it.

Gorgeous. These are such dense, high content cars that really benefited from sharing the unibody construction plant with Lincoln. High quality, well engineered and beautiful

This guy did an amazing job wuth this T-bird. Has quite the eye

Always liked the hazard flashers with the sequential lights, both sides flash sequentially.

I like it! He built it the way he wanted

Hi Lou, very interesting mods - tastefully done. Man, did Ford do a fantastic job with that vintage of personal luxury 'Birds!

I had a 67 and 69 T Bird both customized back in my day. lowrided. Would love to have one of these just the way they are❤

Gorgeous Thunderbird 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Beautiful Thunderbird Lou God Bless.

The thunderbird till now is the car of youth....

Hey big bro Lou!!! Happy Father's Day to you a bit late, big brother. And...POW!! This gorgeous Thunderbird is one helluva KNOCKOUT 😵😵for JV Johnny/Robin, man 🤣! SOCK!!!! My floppy sneakers literally got yanked off my stocking JV baseball jock feet and thrown in the air like a "Twin Pop Flies" and-Holy Cow!!-you catch them both then catch me as I fall forward unconscious 😵right over your right shoulder 🤪!! You are like Gary Carter/Jackie Chan and one helluva protective big brother, Lou😅. Truly. And this 'Bird is truly a beauty. WOW! That color is stunning and she looks right at home driving down those beautiful desert plant lined Arizona streets....what a treat Kelly has wrought! Thanks for showcasing his beauties for us, Lou! JV Johnny ⚾⚾

Hello Lou! I'm really loving your stories on the fifth-generation Thunderbirds! You might as well say this T-Bird is three cars in one! A '68 with a '69 grille and taillights from a '67. Now that's a very great way to modify a classic car - keeping it all Ford. No tacky aftermarket products! And the owner seems to be a fan of the '67-'71 Thunderbirds. I'd love to see a '70 or a '71 'Bird, Lou, if you haven't done one yet. Keep those videos coming, Lou!

It’s got a one two punch combination that’s pretty potent. A T - Bird take on vintage motoring. 1976 Dorthy Moore “ misty blue “ Great work Lou very well presented and great lighting/color filtering. Crystal clear!

Is sure got a great collection of old T-Birds

Wow! Fun to watch!

She is a rare bird, with the modifications, T-Bird that is! Always something interesting. Thanks Lou!

Not sure I ever saw that color before 🤔. It absolutely 🔵 me away 😂

Kelly is a genius.

Gorgeous!😊

So Good, Lou!

G'day Lou, What a amazing combo & I love how Kelly long sleeve T Shirt matches the colour of the T-Bird. If anything dual exhaust give it abit of a rumble otherwise what a amazing white interior. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🇺🇸

Чудове авто! Колір,салон, двигун! Дякую!

Wow great job 👍🇺🇸

Could be my favorite ‘Bird. The 67-69s.

Well Done

Needs a '67 steering wheel! Gorgeous car, thanks

Nice!!!

in my opinion it weirds me out of it's a mix of 3 Thunderbirds 🥴🥴 though I like da blue color on da car. Wish we can all drive classic cars in the 60s☺️☺️☺️☮️☮️☮️

car very pretty and powerfull.

The engine really sounds muscular for a luxury car.

He did something here I would never do! I have liked certain things about different years of cars that the model was similar for a run of three or for years. The 49, 50, 51 Ford were pretty much the same car, but each was different in the front 49 had block letters spelling out Ford on the hood above the bullet cone in the grill, the 50 had the Ford Crest logo instead of the block letters. The 51 the grill was completely changed. This practice of changing the grills continued with the 52, 53, and 54. Also, the 55 and 56. Starting in 57, the main Ford full-size model changed completely every year into the seventies. However the Thunderbird, Falcon, Mustang, Fairlane, Torino, Mercury Comet all had generations of the car where the body was tweaked slightly and the best indication of what year the car was was the front grill. The second thing was the federally required safety features. I would never mix the years up. If it is a 68, then every part on the car should be a 68 part. I noticed you only talked about the different years on the exterior. The interiors had some slight diferences, too. That steering wheel, I believe, was a 69 steering wheel.

Wow.

Wow, I didn't realize he still had one left to share. How many is this now, is this all 5? That's pretty cool he used up his left over parts and made a best of 5th gen tribute, mix. I wouldn't have done it to my '68 but since he's got 5, well, why not mix it up a bit anyway? hahaha It's all easy bolt on changes, minus the rear reflectors, but that would still only require drilling a couple holes to add them also. I like it just the way it is. That's a nice metallic blue. If he doesn't like the RV cam, he wouldn't the thumper cam in mine haha.

Not my cup of tea but a very nice classic, well done my friend 🥰🇺🇲

I’m first AGAIN!! Great neat car!

Awesome Combo getting the best of all three. Does the A/C work? I would just drive it. Great Video Thank You Lou!!

was seat headrest an option for 1968? they were mandated on 69

voltage regulator under the fender near the battery c

A "hub cap" covers just the hub and lug nuts. A " wheel cover" covers the entire wheel to the rim. This T Bird has wheel covers. I'm usually not this picky but you have become the go to guru and should have proper nomenclature.

8-10 mpg of high test

Almost like Johnny Cash's Cadillac! LOL.
