Fifty-Fraud T-bird for an Old School $20,000!
Fifty-Fraud T-bird for an Old School $20,000!-May 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 $5,000, Will This GT Be The Opel Of Your Eye?
For $5,000, Will This GT Be The Opel Of Your Eye?
Today's Opel is in Decatur Illinois and is claimed to have fewer than 40K on the clock. You'll need to decide if that low mileage is an indicator (see what I did there?) of its five-grand price being a deal or not. The Hebrews left the Land of Goshen during...

Kawasaki's 310-Horsepower Jet Ski Is Pure Madness
Kawasaki's 310-Horsepower Jet Ski Is Pure Madness
Comedian Bill Hicks once said, "Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a jet ski, and you never see an unhappy person riding a jet ski." Mr. Hicks, and most of those who have copied his quote since, never saw someone ride Kawasaki's new 310-horsepower jet ski, the Ultra...

For $2,000, Buy The VW That VW Bought
For $2,000, Buy The VW That VW Bought
While the K70 was officially Volkswagen's first FWD car, today's '73 presently has its engine in the rear. You'll of course need to decide if that makes its price something not worth getting behind. Back in the '80s Joe Isuzu hawked his eponymous car maker's wares by lying. There was...

For $11,300, Don’t Just Get Mad, Get VehiCROSS
Today's VehiCROSS represents not only the most audacious vehicle Isuzu ever marketed in the U.S., but also one of the most visually distinctive products ever to come out of any manufacturer. You'll need to see if its price appears as arresting. Did you hear that? It sounded like angels on...

You're always told to not judge someone by how they look. They might look anonymous, but they might also be caring, hilarious, or just plain fun when you talk to them. The is Droopy Dog from the outside, but Usain Bolt and Jerry Seinfeld under the skin. This is a...

The 2015 Volvo V60 Is Reason Enough For Volvo To Survive
Volvo's relaunching a wagon in the U.S. just when we're beginning to have about wagons vs. crossovers. Having driven the wagon just now, I wouldn't count the wagon out just yet. ( Volvo wanted me to drive the V60 so badly that , they asked if one of us was...
