Here's some data on the Bird: 77,500 documented miles, original paint:polar white (rare) with blue/grey padded vinyl top (only one in existence that I know of); one of the last 5 models built in 1978, 400-2c (trailer package), leather interior; posi-traction, new dual exhaust, rear-end taken apart, acid-dipped, rebuilt; new tires and shocks and complete brake system, front and rear; NOS turbine wheels--including spare tire, center caps, lug nuts; NOS side-impact mouldings and all bright work, re-chromed bumpers; NOS front grille and surround, new lens (front and rear), lock cylinders; vehicle has all the bells and whistles (PS,PB, PTR,AC,PL,PW,Cruise, ATC, etc.) and they all work.

I LOVE that body style and find that it is CERTAINLY underated. I love them and it brings a tear to my eye knowing that many are still sent to crushers and put in demo derbies. It hurts me.


I'm 16 years old and will ALWAYS treasure the Classics!
