But it makes me sad to look at this. I used one of these, same color back in Daisy Chain (pre-Mindbomb-Mercury) 1989-1991 when we tore up Chicago with our Platform boots, Lipstick and Long Hair.

I've been drooling/mourning that poor bird for the last week.

The parts are worth 750.00............

But its so very sad looking, the person responsible should be punished.

eBay is blocked here, but I can tell that I like that T-bird already.

I'm watching that NR T-bird as well.

Flamed Wood.................. precursor to Faded Cherry and Worn Brown
