- Our friend Jamie asked us to come take a look at a restoration project that he needs gone ASAP. It's a 1958 Ford Thunderbird and was covered in parts when we first looked at it but today we're pulling it out and loading it on the trailer to bring her home - we didn't buy it for $2,000, we stole it!

WOW!!!!! Seeing the vehicle outside the garage, reveals the true beauty of the body design. This deserves to be refinished as it is , with no body mods. It's value can only increase as you guys go thru the steps to bring it to completion. What a beautiful project!
Hi Chad and Jolene, I love watching you chop cars but this one is telling me to put it back together as original. Might be a good idea to tap into viewers that like original restorations that may become more open minded to chopping. What a car! what a bargain! Can't wait to see it come to life đđ
@@RobertBrugess-xj8fj The roof is the part that lets down the car. I would like my commented post to have positive energy rather that light hearted threats. Chads obviously an artist and would feel pressure to be creative on this project. Not fair comment that he may destroy it. Better off a car going to chad than potentially sitting outside rusting to nothing with another buyer. We get one chance to do what we want with our lives and Chads just being true to him self. I like original myself but if he wants to put another roof on it, I can't wait till he does it to see how it turns out. Chad is the devil to original cars but he makes them look better we all have to admit. Let's see what the devil he does and be happy for him whilst he deals with the hell of grafting things that don't fit đđ đđ
This could be a whole new CZcams series for you guys, running alongside your current videos. A complete rebuild from paint to assembly and completion, inviting guys to come on board to assist with the job. " The ' 58 T bird Build " . I think it would be fantastic, having fellow minded helpers on the project, who have experience and passion with this particular model car. Your videos blow me away every time I watch the next airing. Keep it up, Chad and Jolene. Greg in South Africa.
The way it is sitting it looks like the stance of a gasser right now! It will be alot of work to put it all back together but well worth it. I saw a comment in here that one was for sale online for $18K and it was not a complete resto so it might well be worth doing a complete assembly of the interior and everything as well as the modifications that you want to do. I wonder if you could make a removable hard top out of it? That would be bad ass then you could have a convertible whenever you wanted and it would make Jolene happy. I still cannot believe the deal that you guys got on it, with the little bit that you paid for it you guys could even pay a mechanic to do the assembly work that you don't want to do on it and still come out way ahead. Be back tomorrow to see what is next, I can't wait to find out!
A reminder- unit body car, be very careful with the roof. You might want to check out how the factory convertibles were made , you wouldnât want to fold the car in half.
As I mentioned earlier, there is a reason that the windshields seldom get removed when restoring the 58-to 60 SquareBirds.
Good luck, looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Sorry.... I love the build videos but this is worse than watching paint dry
Remember if you want Chad to do something tell him you like the opposite.
Welcome to the fold of classic Thunderbird owners, Chad and Jolene. I have a '65. It's a project in process, but I drove it 40 miles today, so it's dependable. They're great cars! Congrats!
To each their own I guess. This is absolutely one of my favorite cars! And to find one thatâs not all rust is a miracle! Chad could easily flip $$$ this without even taking it off the trailer.
Heâs had a few nice cars in the past. Itâs unfortunate that he doesnât know which is which.
Heâs a heck of a hard worker, and put in long hours every day to make a living. But Iâm pretty sure you can expect this car to get destroyed.
Trying to improve that design will be a challenge . It dang near perfect when made !
Wow! He wasn't kidding when he said most of the body work had been done. It looks very clean and straight. I just saw a moderately clean and painted, not necessarily restored, '58 online for sale for $18,000. Not sure if it was a current ad or whether it was sold.
@Ed Holley 18K and to think the sticker on the back of this (um), car is 150K Canadian :).
@@michaelbristol6467 I know the story and I know what Mr. Chad paid ... it is still humorous that was TAGGED $150,000 Canadian --- IMO.
Never no what kind of gems are hidden in someone's garage. Very good buy ah.
Hi Chad, what are your plans for this, it seems just the style you could make into something amazing. I would like to hear Joleneâs thoughts too.
@@MPSOURS that it true ... I had a 1973 MG Midget in my garage for decades... it was my sister's and when I sold the house the car went with it, I guess. Too bad it was ALMOST in excellent running condition --- but I had moved away.
I would like to see a actual restoration, anyone else?
Plenty channels on here that do that.
Chad is always on to some other project and we never get to see the finished product of any cars he works on. What ever happened to that Hudson Terraplane etc? Now he's moved on to a Thunderbird. Am I missing something?
Thatâll never happen lol itâs going under the knife ( cut off wheel )
@@johnl1685 what happened to the truck/ old car conversion?
Vehicles filled restored, filled restoration
That is a amazing car, $2000. You guys made a great deal.
I love the '58 Fords Jet-Age styling, the '58 T-birds most of all! At that price you just can't lose. Lucky find!
GUYS invest in some good straps and get someone to show you how to tie the car down . Looking forward to see what you do with this but get the feeling you will flip it .
I still can't believe that he sold that car for $2000.00, especially with all the parts that come with it, and a built engine. When the owner said $2000.00, I didn't think I was hearing right, until others commented also.
@@jimcollins3411 Yes, you could tell the guy really really wanted rid of that car...I guess a win win for both parties.
@@barryscarlett462 - The owner said the engine went with the car, and that it was already built, sitting on a stand in the shop. Would have been no way of loading the engine also, towing the car home.
Nice video. The heavy duty blue straps should perhaps be holding the car in place and the smaller green ones on the hood with board underneath. It is always hard when things are going down. Love your stuff Chad.
The Thunderbird is a great canvas for a mild custom, especially of you are missing trim and grilles. I think your viewers would love to see you build and sell one of your cars. think of the Thunderbird as an impetus for finishing something like the 40 Plymouth for resale. I know you have tricks up your sleeves as to put a car together with a limited budget.
The Thunderbird is the keeper of your collection.
The way Jolene is filming the thunderbird you can tell she like it the lines on them are so nice.
Chad what a score this is. It's such in good shape, I first road in a brand new 1958 Thunderbird, what a thrill it was for a 18 year old, fond memory
What a beautiful piece of automotive history. Would love to see it restored.
He probably already thinking about chopping the top
Sadly that is probably true.
I just saw a head line that he was in a junk yard looking for another roof.
@@harryharry4724 probably in thirty day he will start another project or least thirty. Since I started watching him a year ago he gets you hooked then starts something new
@@harryharry4724 Iâll agree with you on that but cars but cheap on supplyâs
Hell yeah what a deal!! Glad you came across it. Itâs pretty much restored already you just need to put it together
Well bad chad and Queen Jolene, you have scored no matter what you do to the 58 Thunderbird.. Obviously, you will do with it what you want. If everyone can put their two cents in How about turning it into a Ranchero type with the nice lines and awesome back end, lowered with nice rims , a nice paint job and tinted windows,, that's my two cents worth. Cheers!
After watching you guys for years Iâm finally motivated to replace the screw in my 67 Camaroâs sun visor.đđšđŠ
Must be the single point of failure in those FirstGensâŠsame in my â67 Firebird. đ
@@TheHsan22 đđ€Ł sun visor and my glove compartment door screws.đ€Ź
The screw in my 67 cougar is fine
@@oxyfee6486 Ahh Yes! Three times Iâve had to come in from under the dash to release the lid. Youâd think Iâd put threadlocker on the screwsâŠ. nope.
@@TheHsan22 Thread locker? Thanks, I donât know why I didnât think of that, much appreciated.đ
I don't want to see anyting but what you do Chad !!
what makes you happy !!
If it's a restoration fine !!
If you cut it up and make it seem really cool lowrider that's fine even!!
You do you regardless of what the fans want!!!
I love the content and I love how you treat your queen !!
great content keep it up!!!!
Totally cool of these dudes to help you look at how cool this car is WOW!
Love seeing Mark and Ernie Myles helping out
ALWAYS LOVED THAT THAT CAR. NEVER FOUND ONE FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY. PLUS MUCHO PARTS.WAY TO GO CHAD. MY BUDDIE HAD ONE IN HIGH SCHOOL. TUNED IT UP AND TOOK IT TO TIA JUANA AND HAD THE INTERIOR DONE ONE WEEKEND. SWEET SLED.đ
Awesome score is probably at least $15,000 worth of labor and parts in this vehicle. This is like the best deal. Congratulations guys is cool for calling you up and telling about it.these cars had a lot of body lines canât wait to see what you do with car eBay what ever you do with I am it will be amazing đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđthis car is money in the bankđ°
You definitely Sole this in Broad day light. I would like to see this restored to it,s original glory But do also know that is not your way. Lets see what you do with it. I am hoping not much as you have so many chopped roofs already and not many original. great find and thanks to Jamie for the contact. Great work Guys.
Chad you are not the guy to load and unload cars....it is painful, your the creative mind! really Jolene is the straight forward thinker...I love your work. I watch everyday, I miss working on cars Cheers from Vietnam
These old cars were designed perfectly by designers with a great eye for styling, any alterations are nothing but pure butchery, yet seen as perfection in the eyes of the butcherer.
what a sweet car great shape all apart but mostly there 15 to 20 grand here in California USA. I was raised with them 57Ford Fairlane 500 then a 60 Tbird 64 68 70 my folks owned. I always â„ loved the 57 but by the time I got one I was to tall. had a 68 myself the one used in the in the Uniroyal Tiger đ paw commercial, loved the 58s too
You stole that car it's in great shape đźđ đ . Great video work by Jolene as usual and she keeps her head on what needs to be done â.
For that money I would of come from the states to get that. Nice find. Looking forward to Chad's vision for it.
can't wait to see all the parts spread out on the floor in the new building. Call it a exploded view
Mr! Chad!
Do a lil resto chop on your new to you car hauler
Deck it in some sheetmetal, some nice fenders, lil paint and on board ramp storage
I sold my favorite 57 Chevy for $3000 in the late 1980s with the passenger compartment and trunk full of extra parts...bumpers, chrome, engine parts, extra fenders and a hood and trunk lid. I was fed up with being more tired Sunday night after working on cars all weekend than I was Friday night after laying brick and blocks all week. Hobby was wearing me out. :)
Not to be negative but man buy some straps that are rated for this đź
Iâll agree on this one man! Think he needs to spend a day or two on the trailer and get some straps/chains to tie stuff down.
Impressive classic car. Worth a fortune $$$$ in parts alone. Flip it for restoration and put those funds into other cars.....a quality car... and
just to say i rode in a 1958 thunderbird i ill. when i was 6yrs old, born in 1952 and now im 70. very fond memories. what you do is yours chad.i will support you and joleine .
Wow! It's already got so much cool going on, seeing the bare body makes me wonder which way you'll go? I can't wait to see this one under construction.
It has been goin pretty good, and so Chad deserves to reap all the rewards of this friendly price deal. & If Chad hadnât always been a straight shooter in his past wheelings and dealings with this parts guy from his local car community this deal would have passed him right by, thatâs why it always pays dividends to show respect and to treat good people fairly. This fully blown apart paint project 58â Square Bird is hopefully all there
after getting fully disassembled all just to be neglected, life happens but this is still a crazy opportunity to come calling, that was nestled up in Chadâs neck of the woods, itâs a hell of a score and couldnât go to better home, inhabited just the guy to revive it to its fullest gloryâŠ8)
Iâm not a Ford person and donât like Thunderbirds much either but please restore this back to original condition please, these cars are getting rarer everyday and that looks to be a good one
you might even have access to the seller and he can steer yu on parts, harness so forth whats good whats needed to be replaced.. lot of these had AC power everything, these are so nice going down the road, such a plush ride
You are going to need yet another shop just to lay out all the parts it came with!đ
The blue 450 couple another steal, very valuable car and Chad has a very good eye.
...... P. S.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Mr. Chad,,,,,you got a great friend there,,,,,,lots of great parts to get,,they all helped you put !
My 2 cents is take it back to show room condition, it looks great as it is in stock form. Also if you put a trailer hitch on the front bumper of your truck it is way easier to stab a trailer into tight spots like that one.
I always like the 55, 56, and 57, but that 58 has some character that I like even more with all the lines!
for 2 grand thats a damb steal!!!! it looks mostly complete and you have all the parts beautiful car' đđŒ
love this car the rockets on the doors look cool and the rear lights are super cool space age for its day .thanks as always guys quality content as always ...Fina
What a great deal, he must really like you guys. Judging by the comments it doesnât matter what you do with it, many people will be butthurt. Your money your car đhave fun. Hey diva FinaâŁïžnice of you to make an appearance đ
Convertiblize it, custom tonneau cover, make it a 2 seater, custom headlights, and tail lights, unique engine, maybe mid engine with the tonneau cover as the engine hood, cool paint scheme....
Jamie knew who to call and would do something with the classic FORD. Looks like who ever started on it was headed in the right direction. Time probably interest turn a different way it happens.
thanks for taking us along on your adventure
Certainly agree with Larry. Don't know how it could be better. Certainly not cutting roof off or chopping the roof.
My grandfather bought his ( the one that I own) for a dollar a pound in 1959 ,the year he retired. He was 74 at the time.
Itâs not a hot rod, but when you open up the 4 barrel, it will get you to 70 pretty quick. Soft ride with a floating sensation.
Restore it as is, or make into a convertible then paint it Pearl White and red interior. Then give it to Jolene. Beautiful car for a Beautiful woman , you would never regret it. I didn't realize they made a unibody in 1958.
A note for safety .Don't stand in line of the winch cable,I've seen cables break and seriously caused damage to anything in its path.đź
I had that exact same thought!! I've seen too many cable failures!!
The only thing as a fan that I would request, is please please please please please please please please please please please store her inside đ Chad and Jolene you guys just bought the deal of the year and I pray she gets the love she deserves â€ïž
Chad you need to get that trailer in better shape
I'm not really being critical of Chad, but I'm confused why he used the large straps to tie the body together... and used the small straps for actually tying the car to the trailer.
That's the total opposite of the way that I would have done it.
But then, I was taught to fasten the car chassis to the trailer, using log chains and boomers. Not ratchet straps.đ
I guess it doesn't matter....AS LONG AS CHAD, JOLENE AND FINA MADE IT HOME SAFELY!!!!đ
If Chad is looking for next project, that car trailer could easily use some love â€ïž, having to haul tin so car donât fall through deck and loading ramps in back of suburban has got to be a pain an not very efficient!!! Whilst Iâm at it ! Get rid of that damn worthless box on the front of it ,,,, thatâs all , Iâll let myself out now đ
Ps , straps tying car down belong on hood and straps on hood should be the ones tying car down ,, đ€·ââïž, but what do I know !!!!!!
Jamie's a Rock Star! You guys have some cool friends!
I love this era ('58 - '60 aka "Squarebirds") of T'Birds even though mine is a '63 (aka Bulletbird)! Anxious to see what Chad will do with it! I am sure that whatever he decides, it will be SPECTACULAR!!
love the bullets!
I love how everyone tries to tell Chad and Jolene how to build their cars. Have fun with this Chad and Jolene however YOU want to build it!
Iâm excited to see what you do with the car chad,,what ever you deside to do with Iâll like it,,you an Jolene always make them look great,,you guys be carefull going home,,say hi to fina for me,, luv yaâs,đđđ
That's a hell of a buy, old man, that is worth fixing up or doing bad chad custom on. Thanks take care
Thats a good looking car style. I'm 73 , I wonder if I had that car if I could get it back together and driving before the graveyard called and said my room was ready,
Iâm on the fence with this one, restoration or customizationâŠ.. Wait! Customized restoration. Well there you go! Canât wait to see what you have in mind for it.
All I can say it's the bargain of the century, well done
Love that early 80's FIAT BERTONE X1/9 in the shop . she needs some CARE .
If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot. lol
Love the T Birds. These are the last of the sporty looking versions I prefer. Going to be interesting to see what you do with it..
I don't know if i prefer the videos with Jim or ones that include strapping cars to the trailer....both are highly amusing in different ways..đ€đŹđ§
Always thought this car lent it self to some customization. Great buy.
Chad is a legend in his own mind!
For anybody that doesn't know and Nova Scotia we call those jackets a tuxedo they are good for and All Occasions weddings funerals graduations or just working on a car
Chad, you could make your version of a âBat Mobile â with it , just a thoughtđ€,anyway it would make a great custom when you get done with it, you the MAN BAD CHADđ, you & and Jolene take care, love your guys vidsđ
Chad should be singing the John Lennon song " and so this is Christmas, for me and Jolene, just look at all these parts, and there's more to be seen." So happy for you two.
Chad⊠Sure you are going to chop something on this T-Bird, as that is your thing. I was thinking, Lower the roof a little, Make the Hood Scoop Taller, and make the back Longer, not shorter! And then Air Suspension so you can take it up and down.
I tell ya , That was a find and price an condition perfect. Tear down already done !
The world can handle at least one tbird that isn't treated like museum piece. I Can't wait to see where this goes!
Most people fix their cars up and drive them. These videos are made to inspire viewers to customize their cars. Chad doesnât build cars to drive them. He has told us many times that he doesnât know anything about mechanical aspects of a car.
Incredible value for money. Love 58/59 Thunderbirds, I have about 10 Corgi toy ones. Real American cars are hard to get in England
I would like to be living close to Chad at the moment, I would gladly spend a couple of weeks repairing and installing the electrics in this car.I would be a shame not to do this. However I live about 15k miles away,retired .Still it his car and if he wishes to chop it up,so be it.
I think his phone will run hot as Thunderbird people try to buy it,after all it is not an old Terraplane.
Wow,Ford Thunderbird, looking forward to you doing your magic with this one Chad
Austin from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I absolutely love Thunderbirds to death it my favorite car of all time please don't destroy it.put her back to her former glory
Not a problem there are only about 30,000 pieces to put back together. A little harder when you donât know what goes where. I like the gasser look.
Need to find the continental kit for it.
well ,you sure made out on that one !!!! it woulden"t take to much to ruin it that"s for sure, a total restore would be more like it ! 352 and all , yeah you will find the wireing a nightmare , but it can be done !
It always makes for a better build when you start with a clean slate. Like an artist with a clean canvas and an imagination. Jack.
Love the square birds âŠ.. style and class
I know I am a pest about old school I am old please with all your skills restore it but show of your paint job skills we see you weld letâs see you paint a little to what a beauty it could be sorry I say this but you encouraged us to comment but some not me might just like to see a classic shine and drive
I never realized these weren't on a dedicated frame.. always nice to learn something new..
That car sure takes me back. I had a 59 convertible that was a fun ride.
I would consider removing door handles for smooth look.
I'd keep roof on that one,maybe chop it would look good with the looks of the body..but honestly chad I like the Nascar looking idea u were talking about...number on doors,cage in it,and some fat deep dish rims n tires! Be awesome looking!!
Hi boy style w headers
I love that body style , he got a good buy on that . I was born in 1958 !
me too
This will be a cool project. I wonât be surprised if the rear fins get taller and the roof gets lower.
Spend one minute looking at that windshield glass and come up with a way of making that happen.
@@curbmassa Itâs already been done a bunch of times to 58-60 T-Birds.
No one here knows how to to strap a car on a trailer. You only strap the rear axle down then you strap the lowest suspension on the front. The car will rock on the shocks but can't come off. When you strap the body the shocks will go up and down and release you straps.
Put some '67 Cougar sequence taillights or Firebird long narrow lights in back. This deserves a neat custom treatment.
Hell of a find Ol'boy.... love them body lines. Put a chopped wagon roof on it that rakes down to nothing on the back....AWESOME
The Old Bird looks great in the daylight. The old trailer paying of well.Get you some bigger straps Chad.
