I have some Thunderbird articles I bought off ebay awhile back...mostly just new car reviews though ('87-88 and a couple earlier ones I think) and ads featuring the thunderbird.

Scan them and post them when you have the time, If you want to email them to me I could upload them to my photobucket account

Indeed, looks like they mirrored the image for some reason, also is that the factory intake? the one I got off my 86 tc was different.

yeah, that is the factory intake. That is an "inline" intake. They came on the earlier TC's. My 83 has one... instead of being "bunched" into a square idea like the 87/88 (85/86?), they are in aline... maybe they altered the photo becasue there is not too much to see on the pass. side of a non-intercooled 2.3?? Any ideas? just interesting...

Also notice the white Marchal covers, halo headrests and the lack of the black door accent stripe. Must have been a real early 83....

Or just a pre-production tester.  I wish I could figure out where they grabbed that tach from.  I know the steering wheel is EXP/LN7 (and I think even 82GT). I know they just didn't make up one special...it had to have come from some other car/truck.

Has anyone ever seen the "Gone in 60 Seconds 2" made by H B Halaki? In the movie he started to make before his death, there were a ton of Fox T-birds used as police cars. I'll have to get some screen shots tonight when I can load the DVD up.
