Need help from the body forensics team
I had 7 loose unpackaged bodies and I am down to 2 that I can't identify. No markings of maker or model.
Anyone have a clue what they are or who made them?
I may have to take better pictures or just give up on the one in the first 3 pictures. It seems rather plain design.
The one in the last 2 pictures seems pretty unique though.
Thanks

Re: Need help from the body forensics team
First one is a Ford Thunderbird 95-97
Second one might be an ASA Mustang/Capri shell

The second looks like an IMSA Cutlass. The track I used to race at, a another racer ran this body on a 10L wide chassis car.

Re: Need help from the body forensics team
I ilke that T-bird. RCCA did a project car - on road turbo ultima and used a tbird. Think it must have been an earlier model than 95-97 though.. 

Re: Need help from the body forensics team
I do not know about the second one but the first one is an early 90's t-bird you can tell by the shape of the headlight area and hood.Charlie don't surf wrote:First one is a Ford Thunderbird 95-97

Re: Need help from the body forensics team
Cool, thanks for leads guys. I would have had no clue.
I should have gotten Thunderbird on the first one, I knew it was familiar but couldn't put my finger on it.
The second one I never would have guessed in a million years.

Re: Need help from the body forensics team
The first is an old Andys T Bird. The second I believe is a Buick Reatta. Ive had both of those bodies. I just cant remember who makes the Buick body though.

I believe the Buick Reatta body was made by MRP. The Capri was a a fastback with an iroc style rear window.
