Awesome ride. GREAT pics!

 

Picked up this a few weeks ago, 66 Thunderbird Town Hardtop, 390 - 315hp, A/C, power windows, locks, seat, antenna, just over 100,000 miles, original southwestern U.S. car. Very faded paint but super solid car. And the sequential signals still work! First order of business is swapping the wheels for something else.

very nice, are those the factory wheels?? I will go out on a limb and say no.

 

No, they are just aftermarket "chrome smoothie" wheels ... basically a plain steel wheel that is chromed, with a snap on chrome cap. They are pitted, and the tires on them are too small.

Plan is to go with these Cragar 500 Eliminator wheels, and a set of NOS Atlas redline inserts:

 

much nicer obviously

 

Two thumbs up on the purchase Fast Ed. She looks awesome.

 

Great looking 'bird, and your wheel/tire choice is...

 

pics when installed please

 

Wow nice ride! Love the interior in the T-bird with the roll top on the consol and the torpedo style clock! Brings back memories for sure. Your choice of rims and rubber are the same style I'd like to use on our 66 mustang! Happy motoring!

 

I posted pics a long time ago of the car as it was when I bought it. It took a while to post pics after the paint job. However, here it is in the original 1973 med. aqua with hood black out and side stripes, the same (or close to) as it would have come from the factory.
