Really. Honest to goodness shag.Quote from: FilaAre we talking prototypes here, or actuall production cars? PPG would be rare, but how many were made and where the hell would you find one in the real world?The PPG car would be just as legitimate as the convertibles, Elliott cars, or Bondurant Birds. It was sponsored by Ford, and the modifications were done before "delivery". There was only one. And it still exists: Quote Selected

Gotta be the only MN12 'Bird with wing windows...Indeed it was. Bill Jr. had those installed at the factory, and it was the only MN12 to have it done... or so I read in the eBay auction listing.

I think it may have been made by the same company that made the 83-88 convertibles, and was actually considered for production.The '89 wing-window (hard top) Bird I'm referring to was specially built for Bill Ford JR, and was the only MN12 ever released by Ford that had 'em. Apparently wing windows were considered for production so some concept doors and glass were made, but the idea got nixed. Billy Ford, who signed the paychecks at Ford back then, liked 'em, so they saved a set of the doors and put them on his car. He also had a custom interior, including a steering wheel with the initials BF instead of the SC that would have been in an SC wheel (the car was a base V6 Bird, though). The car sold on eBay within the past year, and IIRC, it went dirt cheap. Quote Selected

Are we going to go far enough here to break it down to rarest to each year or even generations ( 4 eye and later)?Here's the cool thing about the PPG car, Mike - it started out as a four-eye. It's based on an '84 Bird. You can clearly see that Ford used some ideas from that car for the 87-88, though (most notably, flush glass) Quote Selected
