1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"A car that is well worth the time and money put into it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New water pump at 150K miles.
Rebuilt transmission at 145K miles.
A/C blew and was removed before I purchased the car.
Motor in the passenger seat does not work.
Engine fan is hooked to a manual switch under the dashboard.
General comments?
The car runs very well for being 13 years old.
Turbo is quick for being only a 4 cylinder.
I love my car, the Turbo-bird!!
