crappy pics but its all i had with me is my cam phone

not sure if this has any significance to anyone but o well

Ford Ripper Blue, Thunderbird Supercoupe, why special? its short wheel based... theres like only 5 of these ever made







if u check out the rear bumper u see 003 and above it it says short wheel base, basically its 8 inches shorter than stock i guess

Edit: its grabber blue not ripper blue, sorry ;)

My mom used to have one of those. It was T-boned on her wedding night. My step dads father was driving it and pulled out in front of someone. It was a nice car.

she had a shortened wheelbase one? cuz seriously theres only 5 ever made, well and one from 2 mark VII's that were put together i guess...

theyre like 8 inches shorter, customized by a company to be race cars but the project was abandoned or something, only like 3 are seen driven still today, one was recked on the track...

Wow, in high school my friend's dad had a regular one when they were new, it was the first reasonably quick car I had driven so I always have fond memories of those. I remember when they were talking about building the short wheelbase ones but didn't realize any ever made it to production. Thanks for posting the pix, great job spoting it!
