Fifty-Fraud T-bird for an Old School $20,000!
Fifty-Fraud T-bird for an Old School $20,000!-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:18

The Stray Cats brought Rockabilly to a whole new generation of honky-tonkers and poodleskirters. Now, brings you a Thunderbird that wants to do the same thing for their cars.

By the early nineties, the Thunderbird had reached a pinnacle of its modern-age renaissance. The supercharged, 210 bhp V6 represented the first mechanically-pressurized factory T-birds since the rare 1957 "F" bird. The IRS was a first for the marque, and the BMW 6 series-inspired body was one of the most attractive models in the Blue Oval's line up. All in all, it was quite an achievement, and these cars have a strong following even to this day.

But some people can't leave well enough alone. While a stock Thunderbird doesn't usually catch your eye in the driveway and say to you Hey daddy-o! You know what I need? A set of Moon discs. And that Kim Kardashian has got me feeling really inadequate in the butt department, you think you could do something about that? Also, I was watching that movie - Grease - the other night, and I just gotta' get me some of that fifties bling.

That doesn't happen all that often, but apparently, for , his car did cry out for just such treatment. He may have awakened just long enough from his obviously Ambien-fueled modification marathon to realize just what he had done, and has now thrown the result up on Craigslist for all the world to see, and for one lucky, like-minded, soul to buy- for $20,000.

One would hope there isn't an airbag lurking under that natty red and black padded steering wheel cover, because if there is, it could result in an Alien-birth moment upon deployment. But not to fear, you'd get tea bagged by the fuzzy dice first.

So what do you think of $20,000 for a one of a kind (and there is probably pending legislation to keep it that way) Thunderbird SC with a DA haircut, cuffed dungarees, and a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up in the sleeve of its white tee-shirt - is that a Price that is Nice? Or is the mere existence of this Fordstrocity evidence of copious quantities of the Crack?

You decide!

For $8,900, This is Not a Copy Cat
For $8,900, This is Not a Copy Cat
The simplicity of Bruce Meyers' original Manx made it easy to counterfeit. Today's SR2 is his follow up, and a design that truly stands apart. But would you part with $8,900 for it? When it comes to Abarths, the best ones have their motors in the back, seemingly exploding from...

For $5,500, You Can Fix It Again Tony, Abarth Style
For $5,500, You Can Fix It Again Tony, Abarth Style
Fiat has an unenviable reputation in the U.S.. The Abarth name here is less well known, but is revered among the enlightened. Put them together and you get something like today's Ritmo. É buono? Aside from defining the economic and political direction of the European Union, the Germans have failed...

For $4,500, This Cabrio Adds Sunburn to Yugo Ownership Travails
Sure, the Yugo has joined the Edsel as an automotive punchline, and its diminutive size implies it may imminently unleash a profusion of clowns. Despite all that, today's Cabrio asks, who's laughing now? Not so funny was yesterday's , and in fact a surprising 62% of the votes were for...

It may signal the end of the relationship when one partner comes home to find the other wearing their clothes. Today's turbo Miata wears Z3 threads, and it's ready to start a relationship with you. Maybe it's the witness protection program, or perhaps it's having seen Pricilla, Queen of the...

Some say that it is cursed, that it caused a business to fail, and proved too controversial even for eBay. But now, in an exclusive engagement on , comes. . . the Delirious 250 GT-Faux. What is it with Tampa Florida and cars pretending to be something they're not? Is...

For $10,000, I Am Iron Man Aluminum Benz
Mercedes Benz isn't known for unleashing their untamed offspring on the public, however in 1979, they did just that. Today's 450 SLC lightens its load by adding aluminum, but is it worth lightening your wallet? Mercedes Benz has had a long and fruitful racing history, and some of their most...
