Theo, I meant the '61-'63 T-Birds. I thought bullet nosed Birds was their nickname in the same way that '61-'65 Continental enthusiasts call their cars 'slabside'.

It has gone down to +/- $6.50 in The Netherlands. But prices will go up again....

Ah, I thought the bullet nosed Birds were equipped with a MEL motor. But you're right about setting strict rules about the purpose of this forum. The forum is looking good already.

I use it during dry (and preferably sunny) weekends in the spring and summer. The car was imported from Fresno in early 2006. As a novice classic car mechanic I've s...
