1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"A classic example of doing things right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, the only problem has been that the idle sometimes races a bit, but it always settles down.
Other than that the car is very reliable and fun to drive.
General comments?
I was always a General Motors fan with most of my cars to restore being Camaros or Firebirds. This Thunderbird is a real eye opener, I love it, and will consider Fords, primarily Thunderbirds and Mustangs, where I wouldn't have before.
Just a fun car to drive!
