“The bird”1996 Ford Thunderbird

The story

I was lookin for a T-bird as my first car and i came across this one that was up in long Island NY, it was a great deal, low mileage, leather seats, power driver seat, and immaculate inside and out.

(Nov. 2003)

For now the car is stock except for the stereo, i have a Alpine CDA-9811 MP3/CD Player, I also have 4 Polk Audio 5x7s in the doors, i got a deal on them and they blow the stockies away.

Right now i am saving up for a set of 2003 Mustang Cobra Rims, i am undecided on what finish i would like them in...and yes i found a place that replicates them in my bolt pattern. After the rims i would like to redo my Exhuast, i plan on taking the X-Pipe route. As of now im not too sure what engine mods i would like to do.

I also plan on buying just stupid little stuff, like keyless entry, new headlights and clearcorners, K&N cone filter, and possibly foglights.

Thats about it for now, i'll keep this updated whenever i do somthin to it.

I havent had time to write much in here during the past year. So far over the year i have installed a keyless entry system, i bought a set of '93 Supercoupe rims, i put on a sew set of headlights and clear corner turn signals. Also i bought two 12 inch Pioneer subwoofers and a 1000 watt RF amp.

In september my intake manifold blew at around 47,000 miles and i had to replace that with a new manifold that has an alumunim crossover.

I just had a Dynomax Catback exhaust system installed and i am waiting to get the car back becuase i am having a few other repairs done to it.

That Bird now has 50,800 miles on it. — Chris Penn
