    Looks Fordish. Or maybe a Superbee?

    @Timtoolman, now with power tools!: I'll assume you know that a Superbee is a Dodge Coronet and that was just sarcasm.

    That customized 'bird has been for sale for a few years. Hopefully someone has now purchased it so I can get it off my list of cars I shouldn't buy but still desire.

    The wheels are from a 1960s String Ray. The windshield angle and A-pillars look about right for C3 Vette. The rest of it does look like a 1960s T-Bird. Any shots of the rear axle? If it has IRS it is a Vette.

    2006 BMW 325. You can tell by the flame surfacing. Extensive modification was done to the ass end, though.

    "Scorpion Style by Eddie Leon" is inscribed on the dash. Can't find too much on Eddie Leon or The Scorpion.


    EDIT - Found it on the HAMB

    It's a '61-'63 Thunderbird, and aside from a somewhat awkward roofline, it's even more "Moon Colony by 1980" awesome than the car was to start, and that's saying something.

    "Bullet" Thunderbird, the interior has that twin cockpit layout all of them had and the smoking gun is the T-Bird logo on the passenger door panel.

    It's not hard to see, nor is it well hidden. It's a trailer, appears to be of the blackish brownish type, twin axel. One of the vet readers should be able to tell vintage.

    @paragraph: By gosh, I think you're right. It looks to be black with a nice patina. The year may be difficult to nail down, but based on the steelies, I would say mid to late '80s.
