The car was equipped with brilliant front cornering lights, which illuminated the darkest intersection. The coolest thing with the way the rear turn signals illuminated in a sequential directional pattern. All of the switches and controls were built solid. The landau was completely loaded, including mechanical anti-lock brakes and fog lamps. The car was a technological dream for its time. The body used the chassis of the Lincoln Mark IV, but the body lines revealed a true bird of prey. The 1971 T Bird was the finest Tudor coupe ever built by Ford. The car was from Detroit, and the municipalities salted the roads in the winter. Eric then sends the car speeding off, and blows it up by remote control, killing T-Bird and incinerating his body to the point that it has to be identified by dental records.The car rusted out. When T-Bird realizes who Eric is, he is terrified, screaming, 'There ain't no coming back!'. Eric kidnaps T-Bird and ties him up in his car, which he has rigged with explosives.

When Eric is resurrected a year later, he kills T-Bird's lieutenants Tintin and Funboy before finding him with his right-hand man Skank. In the film, T-Bird is the chief lieutenant of crime lord Top Dollar, who orders him and his men to kill Eric and Shelly on Devil's Night because Shelly is fighting tenant eviction in a building Top Dollar owns. Eric then tortures and beats him to death with a hammer. T-Bird flees in his car (a T-Bird, from which he gets his nickname) but crashes, sustaining serious injuries. When he finally reaches T-Bird, Eric engages him in a bloody gun battle in which he kills all of T-Bird's thugs. T-Bird shoots Eric in the back of the head, and then leads his crew in gang-raping and murdering Shelly.Ī year later, a mystical crow resurrects Eric, who then sets about avenging his and Shelly's deaths by systematically hunting down and killing their murderers. In O'Barr's original graphic novel, T-Bird is the leader of a gang of drug dealers and thieves who murder Eric Draven and Shelly Webster for fun after passing them on the highway.
