Below is a car which resides 30-40 yards down the bank of a former railroad bed earth bridge (for lack of a better term) near my house.

The views here are epic. Scenery to follow. From Valois

It's definately a Ford, mid-60's variety. I almost want to say T-bird but the roof line ain't right so I'll say probably a Fairlane.

Bullet-bird.

'61-'63 T-bird.

it's a 63 Tbird missing the trunk lid. The "bullet" bodystyle ran from 63-65 but the 63 had the round taillights like that.

The "bullet-bird" ran from '61-'63. 1964 T-birds were more squared off in overall design and had large, rectangular tail lights with the thunderbird emblem.

I was in Jamaica a couple months ago and I have no idea why you'd name yourself that.

The mother of Jamaican curse words. I first started using the name in Urban Terror a few years ago and continued to use it for lots of other things. I had a different name on the old board.

With the help of your Flicker link it is a bullet bird after all.
