1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"The perfect balance of performance, luxury, and class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced mass air meter at 110,000 miles.
Ruptured fuel lines at 112,000 miles.
Replaced fuel pump while tank was down for the fuel lines.
Stitching has worn on the drivers side seat.
General comments?
The 1997 Thunderbird LX Sport package has proved to be the perfect balance of performance, luxury, and class.
I have added many modifications to my bird and the car has taken every one exceptionally well.
The Thunderbird has been a reliable daily driver and show car, it is everything one could ask for in a car.
