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.

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.
