did i miss a few special editions?

[MintTbird]

... and contrasting hardtop paint colors on these T-Bird are the hotest trend, as it all started with the factory Neiman Marcus Limited Edition - Black and Silver, then the James Bond 007 Edition - Coral and White, or the "My Tiffany" Edition - TBird Blue and Silver. Or the "My Torch" Edition - Red and Black. So make your own "_____" Edition - "______" and Grey !!!!

-from a recent ebay add for a hardtop... thought it was funny. the seller had it in quotes on his listing so i wonder where he got his info?

Re: did i miss a few special editions?

lol - someone confused special editions with hardtop color choices somewhere along the way. Don't know where he got the "quote" from? not my site.

.... and its still there. Oddly enough, I don't recall the hard top being a $6500 option.

"Factory Painted Color is "MOUNTAIN SHADOW GREY" Metallic !!! This color hardtop compliments every T-BIRD paint color; it is the most desireable CONTRASTING paint color!!!"

Re: did i miss a few special editions?

If nothing else the eBay listing has a nice synopsis of Retro Thunderbird paint codes. Otherwise, the guy has quite an imagination.

2K2Bird,This guy buys alot of tops and sells them on ebay. He beat me out of one I was trying to buy on Craigslist.com that was in Michigan. He beat my price by $50.00 and drove from Maryland to get it. A few days later the same top was on Ebay asking $1000.00 more than what he paid for it. Leroy

Julie, if I put "yeller" on my black feller, could I get a tag reading "BMBLBE"?
