Starting up my 1977 T-Bird after 6 months.

Description

In this clip I start up my 1977 Ford Thunderbird after it has been sitting for roughly 6 months. Starts up without a problem :-) It is the Town Landau special edition with a factory modified 351. The engine has on it 351M/400. It is essentially a 400!! All I know is that it is nothing but power!! :-) Look for more videos of my t-bird and thank you for watching. Here is the history of my t-bird: My dad bought it for his first car and he stopped driving it in 1989 because of some carb problems. My dad saved the car for me and in 2004 I had the chance to get it running again. To my surprise, after not running for 15 years, I poured gas down the carb and it fired right over!!!!! After I bypassed the gas lines (old gas in them) I had it running like new. Haha, first time I put it in gear it squealed the tires and jumped forward a couple feet!!! I make sure I have the break to the floor before I put it in gear now! Later in 2004 I brought the car in to a mechanic to have the tranny flushed, but because of my lack of car knowledge I found out the hard way that you don't do that to a old car. It now has tranny problems, sometimes it wont stay in gear. Which really sucks because the tranny was working beyond perfect before. It still has the minor carb problems mentioned above too. And so I parked it in the storage shed in the video and it is waiting for me to have the money and time to continue rebuilding it.
