1987 Ford Thunderbird Sport Coupe review from North America
"Best vehicle ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My only complaint with this particular car is why did Ford use 8 inch brake drums & 8 inch brake rotors on such a heavy car??
General comments?
I wished all other things in my life were as dependable as my old T-Bird is. I have much newer vehicles that I have had to do much more work on than this good old car.
It's not as fast as once was, but it's fun to see a rice burner in my rear view mirror get dusted by a 21 year old boat...
