Reviews

Dealership stated that this item can only be bought with a complete windshield trim kit. but the dealership stated that the car is to old and parts for the windshield trim have been discontinued and I`m can`t obtain the clips anywhere. Well their WRONG for with the help of Amazon I have located the required clips and the windshield trim is looking like new. Thanks .

Ordered the Metra unit and the Scoshe unit. This one seems to fit a little better.

Meaning it has out of date information. Needs to be used with the factory CD for best results.

The manual spends too much time on the rare need for a complete engine overhaul and then spends too little attention to things that the typical owner needs to do. Not unique to Haynes, just a common problem. Sadly, did not really get to use the manual. I ordered it to deal with a problem, but delivery took so long I had to get one form another source so I could get the vehicle back on the road.

I like to have all the information I can get in reference material on vehicles I am restoring.

This manual has become a great asset for me and my lil' T-bird. It has helped me fix most of the problems that I've had with it, and I have zero knowledge of cars. Yet, this manual has guided me to the problems and helped me fix them besides my lack of knowledge. One of the only problems with the manual is that it isnt as well written as I would have liked it to be. It was kind of hard to find certain things, but it was all really good. If you have a t-bird, or any car, pick the haynes manuals up, right now!

I purchased this book to make repairs on my 1995 T-Bird 4.6l dohc V8. The book has a section dedicated to this engine But in many areas it is very Vague. This is a complicated engine and more detail needs to be illustrated on things such as valve timing, as well as component placing, and how to's.Needless to say, I was very disappointed in my purchase.Ron

For a T-Bird restoration enthusiast, this book is an amazing resource. The pictures are mostly in black and white. Color would've made it '5-stars'. Nontheless, without a shadow of doubt the book itself is truly a T-Bird lover's collector item. There is a great lot of detail on the A-40 (1954-1957) models. Since I'm doing a 1957, it truly works for me.

I have owned this book for about 16 or 17 years. It is a fine reference piece, but it should not be compared to current Thunderbird books. There are scores of close-up photographs that show the finer points of Thunderbirds, from the Volumatic Radio to the SwingAway Steering Wheel. The black and white photos do not in any way detract from the history or technological correctness of everything that is presented. If you need color photographs then look elsewhere. If you want well-researched data and wonderful close-ups, then this is the book for you. The book itself is a collector's item because of its period correctness and the fact that when it was published there was no other book that could come close to it in lavishness or completeness. I think that still holds true today.

This book has a lot of good information on 1955 thru 1966 Thunderbirds. Although not complete with respect to information on every aspect of a concours restoration, and hindered by mostly black and white photos of the details of each year, it is still an excellent resource for anyone restoring a 1966 or older Thunderbird. It is especially good for those interrested in the two seaters from 55 - 57. This is a good book for the Tbird owner as well as those who just plain love what is probably the most innovative and trend setting car of the post war era. A must have for any Thunderbird lover.

This book provides an in-depth review of the development of the original Classic T-Bird and also dispels certain myths surrounding the Early Birds. It also provides excellent detail photographs for the restorer or enthusiast to use as reference in putting their Bird in order. A must have addition to the Early Bird enthusiast's book shelf.
