Amazing how formidable America's cars were in the 1960s. This is a beautiful Thunderbird and a fully prepared serious race car. On an open course, this unique car would be able to fly.
My gosh, that 65 bird looks absolutely sinister. It's my favorite T-bird styling of the post '57s--that one looks like an orange shark and it gobbled up nearly everything on the back straight. Well done.
keep also in mind that in order to compete in this "Pre-65" racing class you have to meet several restrictions on suspensions and wheel size. If those were not an issue, Grant could literally take over every race. Period.
Thank you so much John, I'm glad you're enjoying the content. I have really big plans for this channel and if I can also have fun in doing it that's the formula for success!
Yeah man, same for that Fairlane o featured last year, they both just fly on the straights. I understand why these engines were great for Nascar back then
Thanks, yes I believe they're both similar cars actually. Have a look at the Fairlane 500 I feature not long before this: th-cam.com/video/ohnNeRGj4zc/w-d-xo.html
@@racecars.universe I am from Vancouver Canada. I have been a Ford guy for over 40 years. I currently own two escort Cosworth car and I used to have a sapphire Cosworth race car tarmac.
It`s so funny seeing a car that had room for four people comfortably and was classified as a personal luxury car go that fast down the straight.That thing needed 400 less kilos or a lot wider tire and it should be on a big oval circuit..

Another masterclass Racecars Universe. Nothing like something completely different by way of a 427 T Bird to get the pulses racing.

What a motley collection of cars.
Yeah so many different types
The old girl likes the back straight 😁

Thanks for the details on the car. Great video.
Thanks Paul, appreciate your positive remarks
Unexpected but enjoyable video. T-bird needs more tire, but I understand the rules.
What an awesome build.
Fantastic and original car, exceptionally prepared, congratulation to the owner. It very close in behavior, to my 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 !

Yeh it look good and does the job

Yes!!

Same as I thought, the way it swings left and right it seems more suited for an oval race although very spectacular to see it move all over the place
Its a trunk.
And with proper gears can outrun any porsche you've got.
Not any Porsche, these new GT2 RS are track weapons
