Early Ford Thunderbirds

The 55 bird outsold Corbett's 100 for every Corbett sold. No one wanted a plastic car

 

Can anyone discern the size of these wheels/tires.

 

Modern American Torque Thrusts plated with painted centers. These aren’t plated and painted different. I’ve seen that T-bird at Donut Derelicts a few times.

 

Sorry, I could tell they are AR, curious about sizes. Look like maybe 16”?

 

A couple of my car

 

Love this thing, looks like a real great little battleaxe.

 

One of the tbirds had a injected 368" Lincoln and ran something like 180mph before it blew!! Goodbye plastic corvet

 

I almost hate to admit that I built this Bird, but it was the times !!! Sometimes I think I simply did it to piss off the purists.... and it did !!

 

Other than the painted bumpers it looks pretty good.

 

Bitchen car with a great name. Anyone know what the drive train was/is in this shot where the Bird is taking flight?

 

I THINK this one is in this thread sometime ago and someone piped up that it was theirs and gave some info. Maybe he will see this.

The Yellow SD in the other lane is owned by a member but I can't remember his member name either.
