Title: 60s Gibson Thunderbird Bass Project on the bay
Post by: Tyrellp34 on July 19, 2008, 02:07:42 AM: Hi everybody

My first post here so please bear with me. Just discovered this great forum some days ago (Thanks Bill).

Not sure if you have already seen this one but I just found this T-bird at no reserve on ebay. Need some work to get back in shape but I guess someone can do the job.

Unfortunatly he's not shipping outside the US.

Tyrell.. Something to do with the famous six wheeler F1 car?

That's correct. Even the P34 was introduceed long time before my days as an F1 fan, in my opinion it's one of the greatest cars of the F1 history. I 'am not so much into F1 today but the tyrell nick still sticks with me.
