1986 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"It's a Ford after all eh!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Straps holding the gas tank in rusted out and fell off 2002.
Transmission is sticky. Takes a lot of strength trying to shift the car out of Park.
General comments?
The car does amazing brake stands and burnouts. It has a serious amount of acceleration. It does well at high speeds (160kmh) going down the highway.
The seats are quite comfortable and they don't start to hurt after long drives.
It also has a kick-in stock sound system. It plays my music loud the way I like it without any distortion.
