Back in 1979 my grandfather and grandmother purchased a new T-Bird. When my grandfather past away in 1985, my grandfather wanted me to have the car when I got old enough to drive. Well after 12 years of nagging and a little persuasion, I got to drive my grandfather's car this past summer. I took it back to my place to wax and buff it because it has not a good bath for about 2 1/2" years. My grandmother still thinks I would "zoom-zoom" in the T-Bird because she can hear how loud my cobra is and she thinks I drive it fast. I told her "I do", but the T-Bird can not even pull itself out of it's own shadow. I will see if she will let me take it out this summer.....

If you drive it like you did when we went to the dyno she has nothing to worry about :smile:

That is a beautiful car. I wish I had another T-bird. The one I do have is a 95 and there are title problems...
