Thunderbird Club

[BklynKen]

Plenty of Thunderbird action here. I think Gail Greenwood is my spirit animal.

Thunderbird Thursday!!

Love those strings!

Bought on your suggestion.

I like other SIT strings just never tried these particular ones.
Next choice would have been some flavor of roundcore DR.

Went heavier than my usual gauge to play it low action. And figure high output strings with more mass might work well on the bird.

63, you thinking this one? (67) you could get the 327...

They didn’t make a ton of 327 cars in 66-67. But enough for Bill Jenkins to support one in NHRA. Boy was he lethal in it…

 

[Bent77]

Typically, roll bar and tranny strap is needed for sub 11 second 1/4 mile. Road course, that's a different story.

NHRA spec rule for a convertible is 13.99, I think they dialed everyone else down to 11.49 now

Decisions, decisions.... Not sure what I want to put them on. But I'm sure I will find something in the storage room.

An old mop, perhaps…

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

I’ll go with my main squeeze too. Happy TT to all!

I go for 50-105 because I just like a little more meat on the higher strings.

[Stealth57]

I have its twin.

Nope. It’s the ‘15 with the tapped DeCola’s.

Yowza, this is the only 2015 I can find that’s available for sale. I hope that price is for real.

Yep. You stole yours. Mine was $999.99 when they blew them out via GC near the end of ‘15. They are mostly now in their forever homes. Very occasionally you will see one under 2k when the seller has no clue what it is.

if you had to choose between that and the 70's?

 

[MCF]

if you had to choose between that and the 70's?

Well, I don’t have to. That’s the good thing. I am in love with the ‘77. But having had the ‘15 for almost 10 years and playing it so much, it’s a part of me. I can see the ‘77 getting there at some point for me. But if you forced me to choose today…I’d run away with both of them and hide.

 

[RedVee]

E49 right? Was that OHV?

Well E49 was the ultimate incarnation but yes. OHV, I think so.
The E49 6Pack went into the Charger, to homologate for series production car racing.

They sent an engine to Weber in Italy to fine tune it with a triple carb setup.

Well let's just check your 70s muscle car grille discernment:
