Ford ThunderBirdFord thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

I'm restoring a 1970 Ford Thunderbird but having a hard time without any documentation. I'm looking for a wire diagram, fuse key and owners manual but would appreciate any scanned documents or website links.
In case you're curious I have the four door model. The car runs well with about 150k miles. The interior is near perfect and still has the original working 8-Track player (my friends love cruising around our college campus blasting Led Zeppelin IV). After some more maintenance and tuning all I have to do is repair the body, remove a few small rust spots, paint and replace the vinyl top.
It's a great car, I'm just having a hard time finding old diagrams to make the work go quicker. Thanks!
