[A/S] 79 auto that can tow 79 Argosy

["tdickieson" <lleather@xxxxxxxx>]

I had a 1971 Thunderbird.  It weighed 5200 pounds and had a 429 cu. 
in. engine that pushed about 420 horsepower.  This car would have had 
no trouble at all pulling an airstream on an equalizer hitch.  In 
1979 I think the only cars left that were that big were Cadillacs and 
Oldsmobiles (if they still had a Toronado)  I know the Thunderbird of 
those years was actually a renamed Ford Elite, which Ford came out 
with in 1977 or 1978.  Then in 1979s model year, the elite was gone 
and the Thunderbird looked just like the previous years Ford Elite.  
Those were the last days of the real Ford Thunderbird.  I bought 
another one in 1983 and as far as being a luxury car like the older 
ones, it was a joke.  Stick with Pickumup trucks for pulling 
Airstreams and you will, (I think) be happier.  This is only my 
opinion and not to be confused with confusion.  Hahaha.  And do you 
have a husband to trick into buying you that new truck? <GGGGG>
