Those grilles and spoilers pop up for sale every once in a while. The wheels look like the metric wheels that were on the Birds, Cougars, Stangs and Capris.

The grille and spoiler were FMS add-on parts that you could buy rom Ford dealerships back then and are actually fairly valuable today. The wheels are TRX, a factory option back then that required a special metric Michelin tire that has been out of production for decades, and are worth s prices today. One of our members has cut up a set and made hubcaps out of them, which look really good on his 17" chrome rims...

Really? That's the ugliest car you've ever seen? You really missed the Aztek, Rendezvous, X90, Juke, Cube, Murano, Element, Ridgeline, Matador, Gremlin, Pacer, 4th Gen (Catfish face) Camaro, and the rest (If I were to go through the ages and list all the automotive abortions this would be a very lenghtly list indeed)? That early 80's T-Bird with a period correct factory designed and sold modification is really the ugliest car you've ever seen? Would that I were so lucky to have never been exposed to any of these others... ;)
But on the topic of fox Bird prototypes, how about this one?

metric tires are still avalible, for over $400 dollars a tire. i wish they would come down, or make a repop in a 15 or 16. the ones on the mustang are different then the ones on the tbird. different design. as far as the car, i think its straight out of the 80s awesome.

Years ago, I stumbled upon a four-eye Thunderbird in a junkyard that was fitted with the FMS parts, including the side skirts and three-pedestal spoiler. I bought the pieces and held onto them for a while. Another forum member now owns them. That spoiler is a hell of a lot heavier than it looks.

Years ago I had a similar find in another junkyard and left the stuff there because I didn't have a four-eye. I seem to remember offering to buy the parts and sell them to someone on this forum but there was no interest so I didn't get the stuff. The car was a base '86 V6 with column shifter and full console but no other options. I bought the console and tray but left the rest there...

If you look closely you can see four individual lights behind each of those smoked covers. This car was a PPG pace car for an indycar racing series back then. They've done several one-offs, including a Fiero and a Mark VII (with T--tops!). Just google "PPG Pace Car" and you'll see some of their weird 80's pace cars. Info on the Mark can be found here: http://web.atmc.net/~snonnenman/PPGCar.htm

I have stock TRX's on my car, and Jerry was kind enough to handle a Craigslist deal for me and ship me a like new set of tires for my car. I paid $200 + shipping for the set! Thats the only reason I'm going to run them for now. I really like the look of them on these cars. The Thunderbird TRX's have to be one of the rarest wheels out there, as they are the same size as the Mustang TRX's but are a different design.

My parents had a '81 Olds Ninety-Eight us kids all had to drive when we first got our license. Sometimes I wish I had that thing back for a cruiser. 403 motor, power everything, big cushy velour seats that were comfortable like a La Z boy, and it floated down the road. Thing was built like a tank too.
There's a local kid with one all fixed up (same maroon color as my parents old one). He has blacked out windows and big rims on it...it actually looks pretty cool.

Agreed, but the radical departure of the 83 left everything else behind it, in terms of design. The MN-12 was far more modern, but compared to the existing design was just a evolutionary step. JMHO

I always loved t-birds even as a young child, then I drove one and became obsessed!....True story

Since this picuture, I installed mesh behind the grill. It did give it more a finished look and the "stuff" behind it is hidden.
I'll be adding black to the center of the grill (with tape initially to see how it looks). The space of the emblem is kinda big and looks like it should be a different color or something. Making it black may tie into the black on the bumper and pull the look together better.
