1991 Ford Thunderbird Sport from North America - Comments

"I read the program is only for pre 1984 cars"

You got it backwards. Pre-1984 cars DON'T qualify for the program.

I have a 92 Thunderbird Sport. Had it since 99 and will not part with it.

I recently wrecked it and am going to have to replace rear quarter panel. While looking for a donor car, found another Sport, the guy says it's a 90 model Sport, did they even make a 90 model Sport?

It has now been a year since I bought my 91 Sport Thunderbird. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a call back from Ford Motor Company this past spring that put all my questions to rest.

As I expressed in earlier notes, the Sport option on the 91 T-bird is true, however not shown in the brochure. The Thunderbird's markings are obvious. Red clot. Black paint. Red body stripe. aluminum wheels and a cement pounding 5.0 H.O.

The folks at Ford were gracious enough to tell me all about the car. It is estimated at 250 hp at the rear tires. There were only 243 of these cars built in mid 1991. Mine was built in May 13th of 91, almost at the end of the run for the year.

As a lot of you have noticed, all the comments here deviate, but if you are serious about your T-Bird, I would strongly suggest you go to Ford's web page. In it you'll find a (contact us) icon. This will allow you to leave an e-mail in which you can put your Vehicle;s vin # and they'll get back with you. It was pretty cool of Ford to take the time to answer me, specially about this old of a car, but it was definitely worth the time to write the e-mail. Two days later I got the call.

I am now in the process of restoring the car, which won't need a lot to get finished since its previous owner took real good care of it, but I will need to redo the transmission for it is starting to slip when going into overdrive. It shifts really hard and it takes quite a while to go into OD. Good luck to all who have the luck to own one of these cool cars.

Hey bud, I've got a 1991 T-bird, also Sport. Didn't know it was that rare, never thought about it. My granddad was a Ford hot rodder and he left it to me when he died. He also left me a 1993 Lincoln Mark 8. Both are fun to drive and neither ones are stock. Thanks for the info.
