Check it out. While it isn't a rare car, it has a factory flip-up sunroof. Fairly uncommon, right?
Now that's a good way to check the strength of those pole support cables.That cable passed the test.LOL.
seeing that engine compartment scares me away from never cars, i like simple, thats close to my dad, and i could get him to buy me it but, i have to many projects, and planed projects to undertake another.
I think I've seen that car before on wrecked exotics. We had a thread about it a long time ago.
I've seen other pictures exactly like this, but it was more than a year ago. This one is claimed to have happened in February 2006/one year ago.
What is that ugly thing growing on the trunk lid?
I've seen that "Bird on a wire" pic before too, including the "Bird on a wire" title, unless somebody else climbed a guide wire in a two-tone grey four-eye Bird...
Those "Premium wheels" mentioned in the auction were the most base of the base wheels - my old '85 had 'em
You're right. I just searched the wrecked exotics site and found the T-Bird that I remember. It was the one from the "Bird on a wire" thread.
For some reason linking isn't working so I couldn't get the pics either posted or linked.
Anyway it's an MN12 T-Bird.
There's an MN12 Cougar on there also half through the side of a building.
Which is what fascinates me. It's a two-tone car with a 5.0 and a factory sunroof, yet it has the most basic wheels possible.
It reminds me of Brian's '84 Cougar. I think it had some cool options (including a factory sunroof) but no AC. Why?
Strange...
a/c makes it slower who needs it, just like power steering:D
My car had A/C, vinyl interior, factory flip/pop-out sunroof, manual seats, locks, windows, and no passenger door mirror. Heh, I still have that door.
I junked an '84 TC that had that exact same sunroof. Kept the glass, hardware and weather stripping if anyone is lookin.
my car has manual steering and no a/c and its staying that way
These cars came with manual steering? I've never seen that.
Mine has all the power stuff, powersterring, but no sunroof. Not sure if this helps any on the subject
No...he's talking about his old Mustang....which has no bearing on this conversation at all........:toilet:
Hmm it's the same color as my 88. My 88 can't climb poles though :rolleyes:
