1992 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe review from North America
"If you treat it good, you'll be rewarded with excellent performance and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had some extensive work done to this car, but well worth the money.
At 190,000 km I replaced the ORIGINAL clutch.
At 208,000 and change, the harmonic balancer came apart and sheared off the crank sensor bolts, which wasn't a cheap fix.
I replaced the transmission at 224,000 km.
The brakes were all redone when I first bought it, and didn't need to repair them at all in the three years I owned it.
Head gaskets went at 229,340 km, and that's when I decided to sell it.
General comments?
To me, there's no nicer car on the road than this generation of the Thunderbird.
Everyone commented me on mine; it was black with black leather interior, and looked very aggressive!
Even though I put a few thousand dollars into it, I regret getting rid of it - it seems like overall the car was worth putting the time into it.
If you want a value-priced sport-luxury car, get one of these before they are extinct.
I would take one of these over a 5.0 litre (spellchecker says LITER, but I AM CANADIAN!) Mustang any day!
