THUNDERBIRDS
My 1965 thunderbird I bought in November 1973. It was bought in a little town out side of Fort Lewis Washington called Tillicum. I paid 900 dollars for it. At the time it had about 60,000 miles and it was the smoothest driving car I had ever driven.
Me and Dave Jordan (leaning on the car). A sad note my friend Dave was killed in freak accident in a train yard. He will be missed.
Friends Dave Jordan and Robert Blake with me in my ole 65

My dad passed away from cancer around 1985. He was a smoker for many years.
Robert Blake (white t-shirt) and me by his rolled over 62 tbird
I last saw Blake in Fort Lewis in 74. If you see this Bob Email me.
Ya I just had to paint it fire truck red. It was supposed to be a deep dark bloody red but the mixer got it wrong.
The ole 65 was driven thru to many Wisconsin winters and I finally had to lay her to rest. Parts of her live on in a 1966 tbird shown below. The trunk lid, the 390 engine and various interior parts have been transplanted.
This is spray primer from a can and it's coming off.
The bird barn where the cars are being worked on.
Few days after painting it. I used Omni base coat and clear coat . ( 3 coats each )
