1986 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"One of the last rear wheel drive cars that is fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From what I can tell, the car does not leak oil, and it does not burn any oil. It does use about a quart every 300 miles. I have not been able to explain it.
The transmission which I believe is a C-4 rumbles when stopped and left in Drive.
General comments?
I really like the car. I bought it for $275 and put new tires on. I also performed a basic tune-up and cleaned the interior. The paint is excellent and the body is very durable unlike newer vehicles.
