1971 Ford Thunderbird Description
This is a super rare find. Last known Nieman Marcus option grille. Huge factory sunroof with a Landau top (needs redone) working and yes, of course last year of the "fordoor" suicide doors. Gangster! Carpet removed and seat need to be recovered.
About the body: I traded some computer work for a car. So I went to this guys private car yard and it was serious! Out of all the cars there, this one stood out. Solid body, floors, trunk, everything in excellent condition. It was missing the motor. So, I built one, then another, then finally this one. She needs some QP work and roof repair under the landau but not major.
About the motor: Originally came with the 429, a solid 260+ hp beast. No very different from the 460 which I used, bored and stroked to 503. It now has an Eagle crank, flat top pistons on I rods, Comp Cams "Big Muthu Thumper" cam, hydraulic lifters, 3/8" custom Comp Cams push rods, hydraulic roller rockers, triple rocker springs, high rise Edelbrock Performer series intake and a Quickfuel 1050 CFM E85 carb. All this goes to custom hooker headers and flowmaster pipes n mufflers.
Tranny is newly rebuilt and strong. Rear end is 410s and posi. With 20" meated tires and Foose Boss 302 rims.
Estimated HP 650 to 800 according to prints on just E85 naturally aspirated.
Lots of spare parts n stories. Call, text, email your questions and more pics. Also please Google Suicide Stacey, Jeff Nixon 1971 Thunderbird and Suicide Stacey Returns for running engine videos. Oh, yes. She runs!!!!!!
