    Well, My friend pulled the trigger and got the T-bird that has been dormant/ stored for 15 years! I helped him get it home and it is a Square Bird but it is a cool car with factory A/C on it. Anyway, What are some good sources or websites for him to explore? I will post pics after the rain quits. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan.

    What engine? If it's a MEL; http://ford-mel-engine.com/
    Must read for anyone with a MEL. Especially, about; the pistons and cooling system.

    I have a 59 hardtop. Red with black top. 2-tone from the factory. Original 430 car but the crankshaft broke while under warranty so they replaced it with a 390. Runs very strong. My wife's grandfather bought it new so we inhereted it. Not a big Ford fan. I have used the Bird Nest in Portland, OR.

    Good guys with reasonable prices. Not sure what color interior the convertible has but I have a set of new Red/White front bucket seat covers that I would be willing to sell if interested.
    Steve.
