1973 Ford Thunderbird Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The second of the 'Big Bird' models, the 1973 Ford Thunderbird had very few changes from the previous year. The front end had gotten a slight tweak, with a new grille (sometimes described as an 'egg crate' grille) and dual headlights. Opera windows were also offered for the first time in this model year.
The base engine for the '73 Thunderbird was a 429 cubic inch, 7.0 liter V8 engine with a 360-horsepower output. Buyers could upgrade to a 460 cubic inch, 7.5 liter V-8 if they wanted even more muscle under the hood.
The 1973 Thunderbird was a big old car, closer to a luxury limo than the zippy sports racer it had originally been meant to emulate. Some drivers complained that the '73 Ford Thunderbird was just a rebranded Lincoln Continental, and the two cars did share many features!

This car runs great and it is reliable....this
car hasnt had any build flaws except for the
replacement of the fuel pump about 2 years
ago....the interior to my knowledge is all
original and on the outside there are no flaws
except for a small rust spot by the hard
top....cost of ownership is not that bad right
now to keep it fueled its a little outrageous
because of high gas prices....its definitely a
fun car to drive because with it being so old
it turns heads going down the road especially
the younger generations.May 04, 2011

Years ago I bought a 73 bird for $600, fixed it up and had about 4 years of the time of my life for a 17 - 20 year old kid. I had to sell it when in school as I just couldn't afford to maintain it or feed it! Recently I found and purhcased a one owner w/ 148K on it and it is just a dream. I have never had so much from a car then and now!May 29, 2010

My first muscle car, and by muscle...there was A LOT of it. This thing was a tank. I remember I had actually hydroplaned one night into a hill and it did nothing to the car. I moved a mill before hurting the car. I would still have this car too if it had no went up in flames.Aug 20, 2009

How much is my 1973 Ford Thunderbird worth
I have a 1973 Ford Thunderbird that I'm trying to sell. It ran great until when I replaced the battery two days ago I was told by a mechanic that all it needed was a new starter and it would be good to go. The vinyl top is also gone till it needs to be replaced. The car has no rust and only 42,000 original miles that are actual miles. Car was parked for 25 years before I got it. Interior is almost perfect has one small tear on the driver side seat either than that it's perfect backstay looks like it's never been sad and all the controls our original and work. Has your original engine and all them original mechanics. Please help

Newbie Needing Help With a '73 Thunderbird
I've just purchased a 1973 Ford Thunderbird and I know nothing about classic vehicles, so I'm out of my league. The engine (7.5 L 460 V8) hasn't run in about 4 years, so I need help with figuring out how to fix the old girl up. I have no knowledge of how to check what needs to be replaced, where specific parts are located, and how much it would cost. RWD, Automatic, has pretty much every feature that was offered in 73 when it was built. If there's any advice you can give me, tips on where to start at bringing it back to the land of the living, it'd be greatly appreciated.

What are the best sites to find 1973 Ford Thunderbird parts?
I have a '73 Thunderbird and can't seem to find any websites that offer floor pans/footwells. Rear passenger side needs replaced, thinking of getting all new floor pans. 2-door coupe, v8 460 big block with auto trans. This is my first restoration project so I haven't found good sites that offer what I'm looking. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
