Take the lightbar off of the roof, and I would drive that with a big grin.

The white one looks pretty slippery. I'm not sure about the front end of the other one

I laughed.

I believe pen 15er still carries the correct tires for the TRX wheels. I know they had them a couple of years ago.....

Here's some more irrelevance:
expensive rubber.

I have stock TRX's on my car, and Jerry was kind enough to handle a Craigslist deal for me and ship me a like new set of tires for my car. I paid $200 + shipping for the set! Thats the only reason I'm going to run them for now. I really like the look of them on these cars. The Thunderbird TRX's have to be one of the rarest wheels out there, as they are the same size as the Mustang TRX's but are a different design.

Wow. You know, I really love the big '70s boats...but geeez looking at that picture, that poor '74/5/whatever chevy looks like an absolute DINOSAUR next to that bird. Anyone else feel that way? It just seems like night and day. How refreshing these cars must have been.

The correct sized tires for the TRX wheels straight from pen 15er are cheaper, but still up there.....

Really? That's the ugliest car you've ever seen? You really missed the Aztek, Rendezvous, X90, Juke, Cube, Murano, Element, Ridgeline, Matador, Gremlin, Pacer, 4th Gen (Catfish face) Camaro, and the rest (If I were to go through the ages and list all the automotive abortions this would be a very lenghtly list indeed)? That early 80's T-Bird with a period correct factory designed and sold modification is really the ugliest car you've ever seen?

I actually like it. Lose the headlamp covers and I'd rock it.

Then again, I'm on the hunt for an '81 Toyota Starlet to do as my next project.....
