Discussion:

As one of the five "Spoilers" released in 1970, the TNT Bird is adapted from the 1968 Hong Kong release of the Custom T-Bird.



A Copper TNT Bird

The car came with a decal sheet of racing sponsor logos. The roundel on the sides and the white racing stripe were factory applied.




Front and Rear of the TNT Bird

The TNT Bird features the exposed blown V8 engine, a front air dam and a rear spoiler as part of the base component.





TNT Bird Hong Kong Base

The TNT Bird features the exposed axle connection and found with both bearing wheels and capped wheels.



Radiator Fan Variation

A minor casting variation of the shroud over the radiator fan is visible in the engine compartment. It does not affect the value of the car.
