it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car and here's this week's winner, hello everybody I hope you're having a
great Sunday with a fantastic weekend, what I
got for you today is a 1988 Ford Thunderbird with a sport trim level, it
is equipped with a 5.0 liter windsor v8 with a four-speed automatic transmission
and has been kicking it ever since she got out of the factory in Lorain Ohio, for 30
years she has been an outside vehicle and has only had one owner other than us,
being a Colorado car this car is surprisingly known to have no rest in
any part of the vehicle, even though this car has been driven through the snow
year after year, day after day, overall I like to say this vehicle is really
good on the road and for 30 years this car is still kicking like it's been 10
years, let's start off the show with a glimpse of the American muscle car
to start off history wise, this car was bought by my parents for my oldest brother back
in the day and it only had one owner with a total of 84,000 miles on it, over
the years my brother drove it until he got another car and my parents handed
it down to my middle brother when he started to drive, the car was a beater and
you knew it was a beater when your parents let the kids drive it around
as their first car but my middle brother hated it and quickly got into a
different vehicle.
it sat around for a couple years around two to three years
until I was able to drive and then that became my first car.
when I got it it was in a falling apart stage.
it was really bad the paint was peeling there was a
dent from an accident the previous owners experienced in the right rear
quarter panel, the suspension was worn it was just not in a good state, after
driving it though I started getting into cars and wondering how they worked
so after a year and a lot of learning, I was able to fix it up into a shape that
was an eye catcher to some, for Christmas of I think it was 2016 we got a
painted to midnight blue and then a couple months later it got rear-ended
the rear end portion caused me to actually look into other cars because
when I got rear-ended the guy was going 35 miles per hour and to me since I
didn't really know how they work on cars at the time, I thought it was a goner, I
thought it was just gonna be totaled and I was game over, so after a lot of work
negotiating with the insurance company we finally had the funds to repair it, to
repair it, no one was making quarter panels for it and if they were they were a
really hefty cost, so we scavenged salvage
yards and we finally found 87 Thunderbird but the 87 and 88 had the
same style quarter panel, so we literally cut off the old quarter panel of this 87
in the junkyard with the saza and everyone was giving us looks it was
really loud, we were the loudest people in the junkyard
or in the salvage yard, we got it off but everyone was looking at us making funny
faces and some people actually took footage of us which was pretty
interesting, but after all that took place we got the car back to its
rightful look the sound this engine makes from this
Thunderbird is just amazing like it really sounds like a dark like murmuring
sound, like if you hear this down the road or gonna be like oh god, oh no what
is that you think it's gonna be a bear and you see it and it's just a car and you're
like oh uh okay nevermind, the five liter EFI it
comes with the horsepower of a hundred and fifty-five with 265 foot-pounds of
torque, it is a pretty good horsepower but I think it trades some of that
horsepower for durability and reliability, somehow this car always starts for me
and always wants to drive and it really is a solid engine
now for the interior and all the power accessories it comes with power seats or
one part seat the passenger side seat is manual, and it comes with power windows
power locks you know all the standard powered brakes, powered mirrors and
powered steering, this system centering module is another piece of equipment on
the Thunderbird that really is a nice feature because it will let you know if
you need to replace bulbs or fill up on any fluids as well as floor shifter
that's right next to it that will allow you to look cooler hands down
I want to thank Scotty for showcasing the Thunderbird and I hope all of you
watching have a great rest of your day and a great week,
well that was this week's video and remember to have your car video
highlighted here on my channel, check this out,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to

Ford Reveals The 2019 Mustang GT500 Will Have 3D Printed Parts - Duration: 2:20.
Ford has announced that the upcoming Mustang GT500 will utilize 3D printed parts.Earlier this week, the American car manufacturer celebrated the opening of its new Advanced Manufacturing Center in Redford
The $45 million facility in Redford, Michigan, is home to no less than 23 3D printing machines, works with 10 3D printing companies, and churns out components for a number of Ford vehicles
Among the first parts to be 3D printed by Ford will be two individual brake parts for the high-performance Mustang GT500
While Ford hasn't announced exactly what these parts will be, nor what they will be made from, they will likely be cheaper to produce and lighter than similar parts constructed using more traditional methods
The Mustang GT500 isn't alone in its use of 3D parts.Ford F-150 Raptor models built for China include a 3D printed interior part and the carmaker claims these tools remove weeks from the Ranger's production timeline
While it's interesting to know that the upcoming Mustang GT500 will use this emerging technology, we have far more interesting details about the car
First and foremost, the vehicle will use a supercharged, flat-plane crank V8 pumping out in excess of 700 hp, making the GT500 Ford's most powerful production vehicle, beating even the 647 hp GT supercar
A bespoke design will also ensure the GT500 stands out from all other Mustang variants
Leaked images from earlier this year showed off elements like a large rear wing, carbon fiber wheels, enlarged air intakes, and a bulging hood
The new Ford Mustang GT500 will celebrate its global premiere on January 14 at the Detroit Auto Show and will hit the market later in 2019

Grab That Beautiful Ford GT '67 Heritage Edition Before Ford Takes Notice - Duration: 1:58.
The chance of owning a second-hand Ford GT is pretty rare, so coming across one of the special '67 Heritage Editions is quite a treat
Ford offered the '67 Heritage Edition option to a small portion of the 500 customers that ordered a 2018 GT
The 2018 Heritage Edition featured a bright Race Red paintwork with white stripes and 'No.1' graphics, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, red brake calipers, a black interior with red stitching and more
The specific example we have here has popped up for sale in Germany and is virtually brand new as it has covered just 12 miles (20km) on the odometer per the ad on James Edition
Whether Ford themselves would like to stay in the way of the sale we don't know, since last time they tried to stop a GT from changing hands, the court ruled against them
As with the rest of the Ford GTs, power comes from a twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 647hp (656PS) and 550lb-ft (745Nm) of torque, paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
0-60mph takes less than 3 seconds while top speed is set at 216mph (348km/h).The car is based in Munich, Germany and carries a price of 1,2 million euros ($1.36 million in current exchange rates).
However, if you don't live in the EU the price drops to 1,1 million euros ($1.26 million). Tempted?
