A Hurricane could show up and he would keep going on with his presentation. I like how he handles the situations. He doesn’t fly off the handle, just says a crack joke and keeps going. That’s why he so enjoyable to watch.
Take this car, inflate the tires to 42 psi front, 38 psi rear, and toss it around on a curvy road. It has Passive Rear Steering. It will handle like a sports car. It shares its chassis with the Lincoln LS but, a slightly shorter wheelbase. I have a 2006 Lincoln LS V8 Sport in the Cashmere Tri-coat Metallic. My LS will challenge BMW M3s in the twisties. This engine isn't even broken in yet. They get stronger after 75K miles. I've done a muffler delete and I have new Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, and Camaros Shook! At only 3.9 liters, This V8 has a very strong bark! I just cruise around, get on it once in a while and people wonder what's under the hood. I've got slightly shorter 245/45-17 tires which the drivetrain really loves. It really makes a big difference. The T-Bird is about 200 lbs heavier than the LS with a shorter wheelbase. I would love to have one.
I own one of thes e as well. Just like this one, a Cashmere, with the white leather interior. What he did not mention in the video was that the 2005 Cashmere 50th Anniversary cars were a Limited Edition and Ford only manufactured 1,500 of them. When he opened the glovebox, I thought he was going to mention this interesting fact and also that each car made had the number on the inside door plate of the glove box, as to the place it had rolling off the assembly line., anywhere from #1 - #1,500. Mine is in the 1100 series,
Your ongoing observations and comments that were NOT about the car are the best parts of this video. Dude, you're funny. Though I do love the car. Too bad you're not close to Los Angeles or I would come and take a look. I'm looking for a 2005 T-Bird.
this guy always waits until they come mow his lawn then makes a video at the same time and complains that they are making noise. those mexicans should jump him and steal his cars
Bill has led me to reappraise this one as I have always thought of it as a ladies car since Halle Berry drove one in the Bond film, Tomorrow, I Die Today Forever or Whatever (I'm writing this as Bill mentions it in a similar fashion, as my wife says 'Great minds think alike, fools never differ'). But some lovely details, and, of course, Bill's hilarious sitcom moments.
Everything under the body skin is Lincoln LS. It will handle cures with the best of them. I have a 02 LS that I bought in 2002 with 118K on it and one of the selling points when I bought the car was that is was 50/50 weight balanced. Take my word for it, I can handle curves like they are not even there.
One of my customers bought one ... paid the premium to go to the front of the line ... and then got whacked by NYC luxury car tax ... he was not a happy camper ... lol.
Like the Edsel, i belive it was the front-end styling that doomed this car. If it had resembled the '55 thunderbird (hooded headlamps) more, i think it would have sold better.
I will purchase this fine automobile, provided you can assure and document for me that Halle Berry has never driven it, and there has never been a child in the vehicle ;) lol
Controversial styling - headlights like pulling back a kitten's eyelids, usually iconic long hood-short deck (known since '64 Mustang) out of balance - plus bean counter shortcuts - made it less not more. T-Bird merited better.
The Lincoln LS was a complete piece of shit, as were just about any Jaguars of that era. This should have had the Lincoln Cobra Jet motor instead of that pathetic, Jaguar-designed garbage.
Actually, a rather nice V8 engine design. Strong block, excellent castings, premium engine bearing fit, etc. A bit of onlne research will turn up several engine RU-vid reviews and SAE had a technical paper on both the early and late engine versions.
@@hunteralberytalt By all means, Buy one. You do realize that this really isn't a Lincoln, don't you? This was designed by Jaguar. I had one. I know all about the problems. When that hydraulic fan starts to leak, call your scrap yard. I literally gave mine away because I was so tired of all the problems with it. May the force be with you.
