number 1?

[jerrym3]

Out of all the cars that you've ever owned, is the retro Bird THE #1?

If not, where does it fit, and what is #1?

I'll go first.

#1-1965 Corvette Stingray, Nassau blue, two tops, 327/300 hp, 4 sp
#2-1964 Galaxie 500 XL (clone) convertible
#3-2003 retro

Re: number 1?

It wasn't in a car, but we had twin 350 hp motors with Holly cards to push a 63 foot houseboat. We could pull skiers when we wanted to go fast. That was # 1.

# 2 - Got to be the '02, '03' and '04 Ford Thunderbirds.

P.S. Don't tell me I'm off topic, cause we have a member who says nothing stays on topic.

Re: number 1?

Clearly number 1 of all 27 cars I have owned is my 2002 Tbird.

#2 1983 Ford Mustang Convertible 5 litre
#3 1987 Chrysler Lebaron Convertible (no vrrooom but it looked so good!)

Re: number 1?

#1 - I be lying if I said other than my 57 Tbird though the retros are edging up on it.
#2 - the 02 Thunderbird or is it the 05 Thunderbird? - it's a toss up
#3 - my 89 LeBaron GTC convertible - contrary to Martin's, mine had plenty of varoom for it's era.
#4 - the 57 Ford Fairlane we used to have - pretty car in silver mocha and inca gold, 3 speed w overdrive

Re: number 1?

#1 - 2002 Thunderbird because of the friends that it has brought us (plus it's the best looking car of all I've owned)

#2 - 1993 Taurus SHO because of the friends that it has brought us (plus it's been so much fun to drive)

#3 - 1968 Olds Cutlass Convertible because its transplanted 455 cubic inch engine was a torque monster and wickedly fast

Interesting that 4 of us list an Olds Cutlass or 442 convertible among our all time favorites.

Re: number 1?

#1 - 2004 Thunderbird, just for the way it makes me feel and the friends I've meet

#2 - 1996 Explorer, for long reliability and overall performance & I still have it as the bad weather driver & still like the way it looks

#3 - 1981 Firebird, had a blast with that car

#4 - 1974 Cougar, first car I bought on my own. Thought is was the coolest thing at the time. Came with jacked up Air shocks, 8 track tape player, and a power booster. Then installed a moon roof. That car was something.

Whoops - now a 1074 Cougar would really have been something :-)
