Thunderbird Club

Ooof! Living proof that most relic jobs subtract, more than they add......
It sure subtracted a lot of paint. I would play it and probably get it refinished eventually. But, I'm in the no-ship zone and not in the market for another anything at the moment. We just had some house repairs.
 
A classic you don't see many of. I can't imagine the cost to replace that rear window should it break.

Really don't wanna be in the back seat on a sunny day.:rollno:
Should come with its own bottle of SPF90 sun screen for the rear passengers.

Wouldn't it be less expensive/PITA to put a blanket er sumpin' back there ('cept for shows)?:wacky::greedy:
Heck with a blanket, move to Florida, take out the rear seat and install a hotdog rack. You could sell concessions at all the car shows during the summer - "Solar Dogs" should go over good with the energy conscious crowd.

Hmm. Ya may have hit on sumpin'.

You know that'll take all of one day to get a real funky smell going on back there........
 
No Thunderbirds here, but not only a brief overview of a true pioneer and influencer, but things to think about in respect to Thunderbirds and innovation. (Not all change is good, but we need to look at it in perspective and keep trying things.)

Pontiac did something similar in 1986 with the Grand Prix 2+2...

Pretty rare car, I think under 2000 made.
Probably has room for a TBird in the back seat, just don't park in the sun.
 
Barracuda!!! (dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy dum dum dummmm)
Gotta love the Barracudas, especially gen 2 in notchback and the gen 3, which is my favorite. I keep putting off the purchase of a 1970-73 model, and they keep getting more expensive. I still can't believe I passed up an opportunity to catch a mint condition all original numbers matching 'Cuda AAR in 1998 for $8,000. That same car is going for closer to $75,000 these days.

Same story on vintage Gibson Thunderbirds. Passed on a few good buys years ago, and now they're pricing at what seems unreasonably high. Waiting for that bubble to burst and vintage prices to plummet, probably won't ever happen in my lifetime.
