keiser31 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Saw this car this weekend in Prineville, Oregon. It said 1995 Thunderbird, but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poci1957 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 It is a kit that can be installed on a 1989-97 TBird or Cougar (I think). There is also a similar Chevy kit to give a 1988-98 Chevy Pickup a 1949 Chevy pickup front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skyking Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 While at the Turkey Rod Run one year I saw them also using an '89 Chrysler LeBaron convertible with the Studebaker front & rear clip.............pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2dameron Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like both, the '49-50 Fords and the '90's T-birds but I definitely do not like the hybrids. They are getting sort of common though so someone likes them. As for the Chrysler convertible, any thing done to it ought to help it. HA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Seems kind of ironic some like to take old cars and modify them with modern components, and these kits take newer cars and modify them to look old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest windjamer Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Its kind of funny, the auto manufacture spends a million bucks to design a car they think 90% of the folks will love and buy. Then some kid takes it customises it for a little of nothing and thinks its perfact and everyone will love it. Im not putting the kid down, he may be the new guy at Ford someday,and I bet we all done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Speaking of conversions, this is pretty cool. The 789 Chevy model is based on the 2005-2007 Corvette 6th generation chassis. With the new C6 chassis as their starting point n2a Motors created a car that has the eyes, hood, front fenders and grille of the 1957 Chevy Belair, the tail fins of a 1959 Chevy and the interior and midsection suggestive of a 1958 Impala.

Paul Dobbin Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I love the 789 Chevy. Looks as classy as the 2003 Corvette 50th Anniversary with the 53 front and rear. Only fake I liked better was the C5 with 1960 front and rear clips. But then again I like modified bodies on women too.Must be a baby boomer thing.

Curti Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hey Paul, do you happen to have a picture of the 60 Vette on the C5 super-structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mystarcollectorcar.com Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Cars like this are always tough to assess-they jar you a bit the first time you see them, then you get used to the looks and start to understand where the guy was coming from that designed the kit.Still on the fence with this T Bird kit but it would have been easier to gauge if it wasn't in that flat primer look.
