It is not an Eagle,it is a Thunderbird,big difference (just kidding):ernaehrung004:There are 3 sizes,little one on late model 240's,regular size on most everything else,and larger size on about 1991 and older.Your local Forula dealer is your best bet. If they don't have them,call me,but check your local dealer first,I bet he can supply them .Robert

From Wikipedia:

The Thunderbird is a legendary creature in North American indigenous peoples' history and culture. It's considered a "supernatural" bird of power and strength. It is especially important, and richly depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, but is also found in various forms among the peoples of the American Southwest and Great Plains. Thunderbirds were major components of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex of American prehistory.

How cool!!:cool:

Plus you get great service !!!!! :drink:

Seems mentioning E-bay means it's cheap.Some of this stuff is almost double Formula's MSRP.Anyone can call Formula and have MSRP quoted on any part. Surely few fall into the E-bay inflated prices,tho I guess some do.It's simple,call your dealer,many will take a credit card and drop ship any part and gladly help.That is one of the things that makes Formula dealers a cut above a lot of the other guys.I had an inquiry today for some old decals for a 1980 233,they had them in stock.Try that with your 29 year old any other brand.:drink:

As mentioned before, just go to Robert Nelems (Magicfloat) and be done with your needs. He takes CC on phone, ships fast, and your on to the next item on the spring list.

I'm sure you will get many confirmations of what I wrote above.

And post some pics too. :ernaehrung004:

OK, lesson number two for the Bird flock:

A Thunderbird and a Firebird are two different things. See earlier post for Thunderbird. A Firebird is one in the same with a Phoenix. From Wikepedia:

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colourful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple and blue, according to some sources [1]). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek). The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — it is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and make them temporarily immune to death. The phoenix is a symbol of fire and divinity.[2]

So, let us not confuse or bastardize our beloved boat's namesake. We must all strive to know everything there is to know about our crafts, including the name.

I'll simplify it, Thunderbird is a ford and Firebird is a Pontiac.
