HEAVY METAL BAND SUPERBIRD BLACK ICE SUPERBIRD VINTAGE PIC 1987

[moparstuart]

  I thought people would get a kick out of this pic of me next to my bird in 1987. 

I used the superbird for advertisement for my heavy metal band  BLACK ICE    it was very cool pulling up in front of the roxy or the whiskey and the band jumping out in from the baddest car ever in metal.    I have many other pics I will post later of the entire band and car .     instead of the plymouth quarter decals  i painted the bands name on the quarters.   Jim radke had a fit when he saw it .  but he got over it.

[nascarxx29]

They sure do look like Corvete wheels .Though Chevy bolt pattern is 4/3/4 and Mopar is 4 1/2.If there are Corvette how they get them on .Wheel adapters???

http://www.sleazegrinder.com/SuicideNotesBlackIce.htm       HERE IS TOM'S BAND I found this review on line


   the guy in front is tom 

I email tom to confirm this was his album and review here was his response

   yes it is!  thats me in the front. pretty accurate review as we were a typical band of that era . it was a very well recorded ep . recorded at sound city a platinum studio . our producer ray leonard has worked with some of the biggest bands in history. we used the car for advertisement it worked pretty well.        the enki rims actually looked better in person. I have a whole series of pics with the band around the car shrouded in fog and dry ice. I will try to dig those up .



but yeah it was a crazy time ,the wing cars people never forget like in the spice girls video ,joe dirt etc. never did a video though  damn!!!

I was in another band called the PLADS, we did an album. and anothr band called DAY ONE that had an album out as well. never hit the big time but came close.   Thanks  Tom



  Enki rims that answers that question     very similar to corvette

that movie car is not tom's .  It's a fibered clone from canada.


    The canadians called  their clone  that but there is only one black ice superbird and i took it to many car shows in los angeles. i will find pics later . julieus steurer and radke were judges that gave it first place in the first woodley park show back in 87.

Kelsey Hayes made alot of wheels like that in the 80's ....they do look alot like vette wheels , but My guess is Kelsey Hayes.

[moparstuart]

heres a site where you can actually listen to the songs.   heavy metal warriors is the best cut in my opinion ( PER TOM )

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>THE WHEELS WERE ENKEI RIMS AND T/A RADIALS . ENKEI ALSO MADE THE VETTE WHEELS FOR 86 ANDD 87 AND WERE SIMILAR, BUT THE ONES ON THE BIRD WERE ONLY OFFERED FOR ONE YEAR. i HAVE A SET OF ANSEN SPRINTS I WAS THINKING OF TAKING OFF MY SUPERB AND PUTTING ON THE BIRD. THEY ARE 10 INCHES WIDE, LOOK REAL SHARP. i BELIEVE BACK THEN THEY WERE REALLY MADE OF MAGNESIUM. HAD THEM SINCE 1973.

    (per tom )    heres a pic of a poster I had made in 87.  this is overlooking the san fernando valley.  from muholland drive. I have a whole bunch taken up there by a real pro photographer. and they are eye popping , but i am leaving town for a couple weeks and i will dig them out when i get back . They are on slides.  lord those were the days.  how ya like my plates!      still have em up on my garage wall.


p.s.    notice it still had the vinyl top at the time

hey I see your a randy rhoads fan  man he was great !! one of my favorites. I met bob daisly the bass player who played on diary of a madman , then when they went on tour they hired rudy sarzo. he could barley play daislys chops.  when I get back after the new year I will go into the archives and get the black ice band pics with the entire band taken in an aircraft hangar complete with dry ice and smoke it is the biggest 80's bunch of riff raff youve ever seen .   trying to work out a deal with TAP OUT to make the bird into a Tap out car.  hope it all works out it would be very cool to see it on their show.  thanks Tom
