I preferred the 1971 model with the landau roof and the high-backed front seats. I never knew that Ford had used the windshield antenna in 1970, just as GM did. Interesting video. thanks

Great car, and thanks for the tour. For a future video, please consider showing the sequential turn signals in operation, and a look under the hood at the 429 ThunderJet V8.

Door lock knobs are not factory. Electric mirrors are a long way off for all cars at that point in time. Thunderbird emblem by turn signals lights up when the hi-beam lights are activated. This car was also equipped with power vacuum door locks. Nice video!!

Nice video of a car with a great color combination (though the vinyl top has been replaced). FYI, Thunderbirds were not available with electric mirrors until 1983. Prior to that, any remote-control mirror was controlled by cables, as on this car.

I had one of these which I inherited from my uncle who bought it new in the fall of 1969.The back windows stopped working 6 months after the car was new. We were told by the dealer it was a common problem with the 1970 Thunderbird and Lincoln Mark lll. Several dealers we took the car to had no fix for this, and Ford did away with the back window for the 1971 model year. I sold the car in 1986 and till that day was unable to find anyone to get the back windows to retract into the C pillar.

The T-Bird didn't have hubcaps. It has wheel covers. Hub caps just cover the center of the wheel, and clip on the wheels just outside of the lug nuts. I always heard the front of this T-Bird has having a porpoise noise.

This is a car from 1970. There were no power mirrors available back then. Seat belts were made standard in 1966.

What's it look like under the hood?

That’s real wood not fake. Worth mentioning.

Just in case you forget the name of the car you bought they have it on 7 places.

Power mirrors? Are you serious? Not until the early-to-mid 80’s

There weren’t any cars in 1971 Empire exterior mirrors that happened later in automotive history like the 1980s
