That is a shame, but it would make one helluva parts car. By looking at the pics it doesn't look like a "Bill Elliott" 'Bird was much more than a base 'Bird with stickers, rims, ground effects and a spoiler. It's not even an LX (base seats, base cluster, column shift). One would think that a clone "Bill Elliott" 'Bird could be built rather easily using that one for parts. I know BE Birds are rare, but from the looks of that one they don't have anything to really set them apart from other 'Birds - same SO engine, same consolette and column shift, nothing special for materials (base cloth seats), etc. I'd rather have a Sport, myself...

 I know little about the BE Birds, but wasn't it a package added by the dealers??? In that case I suspect they could be any model, would just have to be RED. Sure would be interesting to see the DSO on one of those....

And to think, it WAS a nice car.  That is the true definition of a shame.

I'd like to see a close up of those wheels.  I don't recognize them.  The interior doesn't looks good at all.  Looks rather worn to me.
