Black Bird

Description[]

The Black Bird is a Scorchers model based on a 1979 Ford Thunderbird. The Scorchers models were known for their extremely powerful pullback motors. The casting was used twice and then discontinued in around 1982 with the rest of the Scorchers line; it would subsequently be repurposed as the Torquin' T in the short-lived Shift Kickers series.
