Lot Watch: Ford's Thunderbird 'F-Code' - Telegraph.co.uk

The message is that while you can tweak small engines to produce more power, size is what you need to give you proper power that’s there when you need it - it’s all about the cubic inches. If you live by these rules, turbocharging and supercharging - two good ways of squeezing more oomph out of an engine - is best left to weak-kneed Europeans. The exception is the car you see here, the supercharged 1957 Ford Thunderbird “F-Code”. Luckily, before any supercharging occurred, the T-Bird also has the displacement to match, with a 312 cubic inch V8 under the power-bulged bonnet. The first Thunderbird was released in 1955, but the model was revised in 1957, with well-received changes including a bigger grill and, most importantly, the fabulous rear fins that give the impression of speed even when it is parked. Each engine specification became known by its Ford code name, and the F-Code, or “F-Bird”, as some called it, was the best of the best, producing 300 horsepower. Although only 200 or so F-Birds were made, the range-topper did a great deal to help secure the Thunderbird’s place as an American motoring legend. The example being sold here by RM Auctions was originally delivered to a Ford dealer in Detroit (where else. Source: www.telegraph.co.uk

Thunderbird's nostalgic journey - SFGate

Lawrence H. Kuznetz is a 40-year veteran of the space program with advanced degrees from Columbia University and University of California , Berkeley. He was a flight controller during Apollo, helped build the space shuttles and was Life Science Experiment Manager for the International Space Station. It starts with a trip in a very special car and ends 30 years later with the same trip in the same car, a highly modified 1957 Thunderbird. I remember the night in 1965 when I first saw it. It looked like all the other T-birds I’d been shopping for as a gift to myself for graduating Columbia University. The oxidized white paint and ragged convertible top were the norm, but subtle hints abounded that this was no ordinary bird — a custom tachometer, a pod of SW gauges, racing harnesses, a Muncie 4-speed shifter and 15-inch Goodyear Blue Streaks on... The test drive clinched it. The click-clack from the Ford 4 :11 posi and the rumble of 2 1?2-inch exhausts as the owner backed us out of the driveway was followed by a blur of G-forces that turned us into human slingshots. A year later when my brother Ron wanted a '57 T-bird for his graduation, I gave him mine and drummed up the courage to buy the beast for $2,500. Weeks later the T-bird and I were headed to Houston to work on the Apollo project, my dream job. Source: www.sfgate.com

6 Classic Cars That Should Never Have Come Back - The Cheat Sheet

Almost everyone has fond memories of their first cars, or the cars of their childhood. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and nobody knows that better than car companies, who are constantly looking for new ways to sell that feeling to customers. Ditto with the Volkswagen New Beetle in the 1990s, and the Ford Mustangs of the last decade or so. But catching lightning in a bottle like this is incredibly rare, and there’s never been a proven formula for it. Many automakers (especially about a... But it’s especially dangerous when automakers attempt to revive some of their most iconic designs and nameplates for new these new models. 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird The 1955-’57 Thunderbird roadster was a considered one of the most gorgeous cars of its day, and has gone on become an icon of American of mid-century design. After growing into a four-seat coupe for ’58, and soldiering on until 1997, Ford tried a retro-styled reboot of the T-Bird roadster for 2002. After strong sales in its first year, interest dropped off after buyers realized that its high price and... Source: www.cheatsheet.com
