Any Base Model Birds Out There? Let's See 'Em!

Don't get me wrong - I love TA's as much as the next guy, but let's see some base models! Personally, I like the look without the ground effects. It seems like everyone gets a base model car and then puts a body kit on it. Let's post the clean lines of the base birds ( and formulas too) and show those TA guys what's up!

P.S. - forgive me but my base model LG4 is in the garage, not running and I can't get a pic right now. I'm looking for some motivation!

Actually, the base model birds were available with the appearance packages. So not all of them were bare as yours is. But I get what your saying, these cars look good with and without ground effects.

Re: Any Base Model Birds Out There? Let's See 'Em!

Thanks, it's from a Special Appearance Package only on '88 Birds which also has wheel spats, pic was taken before I lowered the front and without wheel spats. Got a pic of how it looks now with them on a different thread. Later.

Re: Any Base Model Birds Out There? Let's See 'Em!

Im down for any chance to pimp out a pix of my car......

Dont let the hood fool you, its a base model. Only options are A/C, cruise and power. I think.

The first car I ever bought. Had it for 16 years. The V6 is no longer with us. Or anything else for that matter.
