While it isn't a rare car, it has a factory flip-up sunroof. Fairly uncommon, right? Quote Selected

eBay - '85 Thunderbird w/ Factory Sunroof Reply #6 – February 01, 2007, 06:40:09 PM 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 Quote Selected
eBay - '85 Thunderbird w/ Factory Sunroof Reply #7 – February 01, 2007, 06:45:06 PM 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.

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... Quote Selected
