1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"Cheap, fast and assembled very poorly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater core.
Power windows.
Head gasket.
General comments?
I got this car for $100, it was a great deal. It ran great for a couple months then the head gasket went on it and I sold it for $400.
It did leak a lot of oil and it was very cold because the heater didn't work, but other than that it was a very comfortable car. I tried to find another one but they're not that easy to come by. Oh well, one day I will find one.
