Default Green Bird isn't a Wanderlodge

it's my wife's 2004 Ford Thunderbird in Vintage Mint Green (only 602 made). But, we did just get a 1983 Bluebird FC33. It's been repainted, repowered (363hp 766ftlb) ought to empty that 235 gallon tank in no time . Only drawback the last owner started to redo the interior and found his talent only went far enough to tear out the inside and add some surplus camper cabinet doors to poorly built cabinets. JOB 1 is a total regut and then new cabinets to hold the new appliances he bought. Leaning toward a yacht quality mahogany interior (since we sold the boat to get this) or something Craftsman or Art Deco in keeping with the retro look of the FC series. Should take me about 6 months but we'll be at Quartzite in whatever condition. Maybe in a few years we'll also get to Maxton we have friends in VA and they attend the races there often.
We've been kicking around some names and we keep coming back to Thunderbird - it works with the retro bird in the trailer or as a comment on the repower.
