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? Would that I were so lucky to have never been exposed to any of these others...

But on the topic of fox Bird prototypes, how about this one?

Wow, I've never seen that before. That's freakin' cool!!

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.

I love big 70s boats too! I was just telling my wife that yesterday as she shook her head. I'm pretty sure it is a '74 Impala in that pic. My first car was a '74 Caprice. It is pretty prehistoric looking sitting next to the Thunderbird.

My parents had a '81 Olds Ninety-Eight us kids all had to drive when we first got our license. Sometimes I wish I had that thing back for a cruiser. 403 motor, power everything, big cushy velour seats that were comfortable like a La Z boy, and it floated down the road. Thing was built like a tank too.

There's a local kid with one all fixed up (same maroon color as my parents old one). He has blacked out windows and big rims on it...it actually looks pretty cool.

heh you think that's something, try comparing a fox bird to a 94-97 mn12 bird side by side. When I had my two it was mind blowing how much more modern the mn12 was.

Agreed, but the radical departure of the 83 left everything else behind it, in terms of design. The MN-12 was far more modern, but compared to the existing design was just a evolutionary step. JMHO

My parents had a maroon 81 Delta too that both us kids drove, we traveled the country in that car pulling a trailer, and an 81 F150 pulling a horse trailer w/ all our belongings (can't imagine how many gallons of gas my parents paid for) lucky enough my first car was an 80 Tbird just like the one in my sig right down to the options list and rims, except with more paint and less surface rust (trunk floor was pretty well gone though). I always loved t-birds even as a young child, then I drove one and became obsessed!....True story

I dig it......looks cool with the ram air hood.....is their a screen or mesh in the grille opening? some kind of texture would look good so you dont see the radiator/supports etc. Nice job!
