Fifty-Fraud T-bird for an Old School $20,000!
Fifty-Fraud T-bird for an Old School $20,000!-September 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!

At $17,900, Could You See Yourself Motoring Home in This 1975 GMC Glenbrook?
At $17,900, Could You See Yourself Motoring Home in This 1975 GMC Glenbrook?
GMC only ever made one motorhome, but as today’s Glenbrook proves, it was a doozy. Let’s see if this forward-thinking RV is presently priced to be a total blast from the past. Have you ever made a decision that you thought was prudent, perhaps even revelatory, only to find that...

Strong Growth In Wagon Sales May be the Opening Salvo in the War on SUVs
Strong Growth In Wagon Sales May be the Opening Salvo in the War on SUVs
It’s difficult not to notice that large lumbering SUVs are hulking around in larger numbers than ever before. Americans have been ditching the sedan, hatchback, and wagon markets for larger crossovers with a “higher seating position” for quite a while now. Wagons are still a very small part of the...

This Person Is Selling An Actual Time Machine On Craigslist
Time is fleeting, and once it’s gone you can’t get it back. You can’t relive your past. Who you are now will never experience things the same way as who you used to be. That’s all well and good, but this 1984 Chevy Blazer is a real actual time machine....

At $22,000, Would You Start Cruising in This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser Diesel?
Toyota’s Jeep-like Land Cruisers are rare enough here in the States, but add that a never-sold here B-series diesel like in today’s truck and you’ve got yourself one odd duck. Let’s see if it’s price makes it worth breaking into your nest egg. One of my wife’s most endearing qualities...

This Might Be the Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard a Car Dealer Say
This Might Be the Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard a Car Dealer Say
Over the course of a year, I probably speak with a few thousand car dealers. And the truth is a lot of them are fine, but some of them will say things that are either flat out false, misinformed or are blatant lies. This whopper, regarding paying off loans early,...
