Thunderbird,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thunderbird Restoration Guide, 1958-1966 (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This is THE book if you are in the process of restoring a 1958 - 1966 Thunderbird. This book goes into every detail. I mean, they even give the specifications of the M 390 engine, right down to the cam lift and duration! This book goes into more fine details about the classic 4 seat Tbirds then any other book I have ever read. This is a must have if you are even thinking about buying or restoring one of these classics. It has chapters for every year from 58 - 66, and talks about every model for every year. Such cars as the 62 and 63 Sports Roadster, the Princess Monaco Landau, the 65 "Special Landau", and the 1960 sun roof are even included. This has to be the most complete restoration guide for these classic 4 seat Thunderbirds I have ever seen. Even if you think you know all about Thunderbirds, read this book! I can assure you that you will find things you never knew about these timeless classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent starting point for the restorer,
By Thomas S. Cofield (Lacey, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thunderbird Restoration Guide, 1958-1966 (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This book isn't a detailed step by step guide in the specifics of restoring an old T-bird but it does give the new Bird owner a good idea not only of what he or she has, but what it is worth. There is a lot of very good info on the history of the 58-66 T-birds as well as an excellent section on the rare M-Code T-birds of 62-63.Great reading for the T-bird fan or just for any car nut

restoration guide?,
This review is from: Thunderbird Restoration Guide, 1958-1966 (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
There are some helpful diagrams but the pictures were of very poor quality and with other information available on the internet and from available shop and assembly manuals, save your money and pass this book up.
