I found a FILA...... UPDATE...

When I was at the yard today,I saw a FILA (The Thunderbird,not Mikey)on the way out.I had to get my son's art supplies to him,so I was in a rush to leave.I did manage to remove the badges from it.It looked decent from what I saw.I'm hoping to go back in the a.m. to get a little more involved with it.It was intact (don't have any clue what's happening under the hood),aftermarket py wheels,and I didn't pay much attention to the interior.No worries,I can't name any T-Bird or Cougar owners out here.I thought a FILA had black on the bottom,this one was more of a dark grey.I haven't ever seen one up close and personal.Anyway,More news in the morning.

O.K.,I just called my friend to check the car out,he says it has dark cloth interior,a white grille in the back seat (I didn't think it had one),5.0,py dual exhaust,aftermarket 4bbl intake with a carb adapter and 2bbl carb.I'll go see what's salvageable in the morning.

I suppose it's pretty cool.I personally like the '87/'88 better.
