1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

Drove 6 hours north to Indiana to meet the seller, and all was what I expected. A bit of rust, but enough to be manageable by sanding or a bit of welding, 140k miles, 5 speed manual, and the interior was in great condition. It needs a lot of love, but that will all happen this summer.

People sleep on these, they are what I like to call Ford's Icarus. They flew too close to the sun (mustang :classic_angry:), and the Thunderbird lost its wings... 190hp from a 2.3l 4 banger with a sub-par turbo (that had its boost limited!!!) compared to the 225hp of the 5.0l v8 in the mustang? You'd be out of your mind to go for the 5.0...

What a score!  I love 80 and 90s cars.  My cut off for great vehicles is 2004. After that bean counters took over and ruined everything.
