Don't want to hi-jack this thread but I saw this car for sale on the Hemmings site...........and it is a T-Bird. It was ordered by Ford in 1963 from the Italians as a styling study.

You can build this: http://www.tommaruskacars.us/ITALIEN/it_r_01.html  

Back about 1964 one of the model car magazines did a work up on what parts to use. The AMT 64 T-Bird annual had a roof that was a copy of the roof on the Italien. And the car was actually a 1962 convertible that had the top added by Dearborn Steel Tubing who did a lot of prototype work for Ford. They added the 1962 fenders and doors to update it to te 63 model year.
