Neat little ebay find.....

Just got this in the mail today, and figured I would share!:D  (I'm nice that way, lol) I thought the polished snowflakes, Grant style wheel, and pedal covers were nice touches, as well as the polished tips. The listing said that it was printed by special order for select customers. But when I google IMP (International Masters Publishers) Hot Cars (from text on the page) I come up with it being from a ring binder book with various catagories of cars, like the TC being listed under muscle cars (how cool is that?).

Forgot to put on intake hose when starting the car, sucked neighbors cat into intake.

haha ive got that!!!! AND most of the other pages of those binders, ive got like 4 binders worth, my mom ordered em for me little by little several years ago....and then suddenly they went out of business so I couldnt complete the collection. Got most of em though, and that one too. I looked at that and laughed. I remember first coming on this forum and then remembering I had that thing, and going back and looking at it to see what it had to say about the birds!

I have 3 binders full of those, including that T-bird one.  I thought it was odd that they featured that car at the time I found it, before I knew it was MTCOTY in '87.

Notice the SVO intercooler on the pic of the engine.  I don't have the SVO one so I don't know for sure if they even featured it.  It'd be neat if the TC was featured and the SVO wasn't. :p

The thing I find funny about that is that they are compairing the TC to the Buick Flagship of the time the GNX. Now that is bad arse.

I used to have some of those. Wonder what the hell happened to them.

That car is schweet. Looks almost exactly like mine, hell the exhaust even looks really close to mine (except my pipes hang lower)

Very wrong. 240. The wheels are polished and it shows an SVO engine, not TC.

Good score, though.

Steering wheel isnt stock either.
It's Gumby's fault.

Those tires on that car are probably 245's...  Looks like a welded case ler too..

And what the hell is up with those holes in the bottom of the bumper cover?
