Sadly, many kids these days don’t get the T-Bird at all. However, the man knows he needs to find a good home for it soon before it ends up in the hands of someone who doesn’t see its true value.

He’s had this T-Bird since 2015 and cares for it deeply. We don’t want to recount everything in the video because what would be the point of watching it, but we will share that Jim isn’t the original owner. The current owner, Jim Dunham, tells his story on camera for Costabile. That means what you see is how it came from the factory, preserving perfectly an automotive icon as if it had been trapped in amber all this time. It also has only had one repaint in the original Gray Gold Metallic paint during its over half century of existence. We don’t see too many of these around anymore, so it’s a real treat to hear the story behind this one as well as get a nice walkaround.Īlmost completely original, this ’71 Thunderbird two-door with a sports roof has a nice 429 V8 under the hood. And while he has plenty of hot classic performance cars on camera, the man captures other beauties like this cherry 1971 Ford Thunderbird. That’s what Lou Costabile’s YouTube channel is all about. Sometimes it’s just nice to appreciate a classic car without any gimmicks or even any tire smoke.
