1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Too bad the stopped making this car in '97. The new version is nothing like the old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake fluid cap leaked and was replaced under warranty around 5000 miles. Brake fluid caused light paint damage beneath container.
A/C leaked and all the coolant escaped at 300 miles.
General comments?
I have modified this car with larger throttle body and MAFS. Added Superchips computer module. This car has the looks and performance I like, while fitting four adults with ease.
