1989 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"A reliable Thunderbird"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both head gaskets went at 98,000 miles.
The paint is bad.
The body is in good condition with very little rust.
Last week I replaced the radiator for $288.
The muffler is starting to go.
The vehicle m.m. broke at 90,000 miles.
General comments?
The car has great handling. It is very fast too.
It is OK on gas. Average 18 miles per gallon.
