All I see are regular everyday cars and trucks, hopped up new Corvettes, retro Mustangs and shiny new Challengers and Camaros. These are rare Birds we drive.

Ok, not counting all the birds I saw at the shacks, we saw what appeared to be a Me:30 p.m. Medium Steel Blue ahead of us on I-20 east bound just west of exit 153 around 1:30 pm ET. Never got close enough to be 100% sure of the color, as we were hit by another strong thunderstorm.

Got one up in Ski's area. We were lost, just out cruising in the MB - heading south on US 1, north of Perry Hall. There was a driveway off to the right and down a hill. Allen was moving right along, but I caught a glimpse of whisper white and a hard tonneau as we went by. Looked like it was a nice one.
Last thursday saw a yellow bird with ragtop up scootin across I80 west near Buckhorn,Pa. But today walked out of Tractor Supply with 50# grass (seed) threw it in the back of my ole 350 turn around and lo and behold my car sat 50' away! I accused my wife of walking home (15 miles) and bringing it up there So I kinda returned the cart to the wrong end of the lot to have a look see. A beautiful black 05! Met the owner Robin who was allowing her significant other ( I think that's the proper term this day and age) to drive her baby. Had a nice little chat and invited them to look at this website where she would find over 6,000 other crazy tbird lovers with a wealth of information to share.
May 30 about 1:15PM. Red with red top going west on I80 west of Ogalalla NE. A beautifull sight in the bright sunlight. That is the only one I saw on my trip to Golden Colorado.
I did see a huge mountain lion crossing the road about 100 feet in front of me when driving west on the Golden Gate Canyon road about 12 noon. This lion was a giant. It had a very long tail. Color was darker brown than I see on TV or the movies. There were hikers and bicycle riders a few miles behind me to the east. I am glad I was in a car. I was driving. Kay was scared. If she were driving, I would have a picture, but mountain driving requires both hands on the wheel. This was a once in a lifetime experience.

We drove our Medium Steel Blue & Sand topless bird to Las Vegas and experienced a lot of Thumbs up, gleeful horn toots and comments about the bird every place we stopped. There was one gentleman in a white Lexus that seemed insulted as we passed him cruising about 85 down I-15. He floored it and re-passed us doing about 110. We just laughed thought his attitude was quite funny.
While in Vegas on 5/29 we did see a Medium Steel Blue cruising south bound on the strip with the black top up. We didn't catch the plate number or any other details. Only other T-Bird saw during the entire 5 day trip.
I was driving down the street this morning and at a light I looked over in the next lane and there it was, a Blue Tbird just like mine... We looked at each other and he said nice car and then he turned right... Took me by suprise...
Went to the bank this morning. My friend Terrie is an employee there. She has a Medium Steel Blue (with white h'top). Next to her was parked a Mountain Shadow Gray with black soft top. I parked the PCR next to the MSG. Three Birds in a row. Looked like a mini TBN event.
Yesterday while leaving our neighborhood Publix grocery store, I pulled onto Sam Rittenberg Blvd. and suddenly spotted a Torch Red in my rearview mirror. One doesn't see that many Tbirds in Charleston, SC so I was pleasantly surprised.

Just curious, but has anyone ever sighted a Tbird, posted it to this thread and then have the other owner post the spotter later that day or soon thereafter?
