Re: marilyn monroe t bird
I have heard that the Cashmere edition of the 2005 TBird is sometimes refered to as the Marilyn Edition. Nothing formal to this, it was never officially named that.

Re: Smoke coming off of exhaust manifold
ugh....could be a few different things. Recheck your valve cover gasket repair. If you tighten the bolts too much it can squish out or damage the gasket, causing a leak. Power steering hose or line leak? This should be easy to determine. Be sure to check all the way to the wiper motor and back. Inta...

Re: Tired Of Chasing My Hubcap
You're right. Probably OK to use as a spare for short distances. Would not use it for long hauls and would not put a hubcap on it.

Re: 65 Thunderbird overheating
I had an overheating problem with my 65 Landau, non A/C, that I previously owned. It would happen when I drove the car slowly or if it idled too long in park. I had previously totally rebuilt the engine, re-cored the radiator and heater, and installed a 190 thermostat. When traveling the car perform...

Re: Blue vs Gold True or Swap
All of the previous replies about the valve cover and air cleaner colors presents the prospective owner and rebuilder of a 64 Bird to truly consider a thorough study of the OFS from the VTCI and the need to seek out many of the other publications available. If you want to purchase an original 64, or...

Re: Remanufactured engine (long block) help
Don't know if you have given this any thought but having your original engine rebuilt at a trade school/college may be worth considering. Labor would be pretty cheap and you could shop for any needed new original parts or hi-performance parts yourself. Any work, such as, pulling the engine and remov...

65 Hubcap decals
Years ago, I purchased a laser cut decal kit for a 65 Deluxe Hucbcap from a fellow in Colorado. This kit provided a economical, easy, and great looking method to restore the 65 hubcap's black paint. I need to do this again on another car, however, this individual no longer makes this kit. Does anyon...
