I am hoping the group here will be able to help me out with this. I have searched google and found one image of the First Contact Thunderbird. The image below is from the NASCAR Reddit. I was wondering if anyone here has any other pictures of the car. I can find plenty of pictures of the diecast and some fantasy cars but I was hoping to get a couple of photos of the real car. The car also looks to be silver to me but again hoping the group here can either confirm or deny that.

A little late but here is a good shot of it in it's race configuration with the white numbers. That picture at the start of the thread looks like a shot of the car in practice.

For anybody wondering. From what I've read NASCAR made the team change to white numbers for the race cause they were hard to see. Looks like they removed some of the "foil gold" in the other decals as well when you compare the car from practice to the race.

I got the decals for this car & need to build it so this will be good reference when I get around to build it.

Sweet looking car and the movie was pretty good too!
