grabber blue 4 eye in Iowa

Saw this on bangshift.com.  Looks like the car is set up right to be a fun driver.  Personally I'd ditch the big ass cowl hood and headlight covers and drive the thing like I stole it.

Side note-

I've always been disappointed to see a small block under a cowl hood. When I see a cowl, I wanna see a big block or some crazy setup that a normal hood just couldn't contain. It's just seems anti-climactic, like a stuffed bra ;)

Yeah that's why I'd throw out that cowl hood.  I see cowl and am automatically expecting a 460 or a blower, etc.  The blue paint is a little "loud" for a fox t-bird.  I really prefer the more subdued and classy colors for these cars but for some reason the blue works on this particular 4-eye.

I was going to say the same thing and I own  Grabber Blue Mustang. Grabber Blue works on a Mustang, not so much on a Thunderbird.

Maybe if it still had the side molding it would tone down all the blue from the side view? I have always preferred the darker blues on the birds though.

I'd put the side molding back on, put a set of closed chamber 351C heads and a tunnel ram....................................:p
