<VV> T-Bird advice ? - NO Corvair

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Grant,
 
You will likely have "gremlins" associated with the top's  up/down 
sequence.  Not as bad as the Continental ragtops of that era  but still.  Hopefully, 
you will not be caught away from home with the top  stuck halfway up or 
down.  It makes for a great wind sail.   Familiarize yourself with how to 
disconnect parts to get the top/trunk up/down  manually and carry the necessary 
tools with you.
 
It is a great car.  Congratulations.
 
Doc

I am hoping there  might be another of us who has a earlier T-Bird with 
whom to correspond and  share experience and advice. I just made a deal for a 
bullet 1962 "restored"  convertible (which has mostly sat in storage for 
about 9 years) and hope to  not have to "reinvent the wheel" to improve things 
like a loose swing away  steering column and very slow to operate convertible 
top mechanism (the  "trunk" opens backwards to accept the roof), and iffy 
A/C system.  Thanks,
Grant
