That’s one clean Tbird. Love the 4 eyed birds. Noticed the 140mph speedometer and the intercooler that looks period correct so far as aftermarket add-on. I may be wrong on that though. Those speedometers are highly sought after in the TC community. Very nice car but they don’t bring the money that the Mustangs do.

I saw a few more mods on it but, I don't understand the hitch on the back. Owners manuals tell you not to tow with those.

No guarantees since I have not seen the car personally nor do I know the owner, but based upon the Maximum Motorsports CC Plates and the Bilstein struts/shocks I would suspect the guy likes the car to handle and may have even autocrossed it a bit. That might explain the hitch. Several buddies with Mustangs years ago would add them to their car for towing a small tire trailer behind them with their track tires. The hitch was also legal in the "Stock" class, and it added a small increase in rear frame rigidity that they couldn't otherwise add due to the rules. Just my .02 worth.
