1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"IF you can get your hands on one in good condition... grab it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C Coupling ring was replaced by dealer during maintenance appointment.
General comments?
This is a well refined automobile. It's unfortunate that Ford no longer makes this vehicle based on the MN-12 style. This was not my first car, but it is still my favorite among the dozen or more I have owned.
The 4.6L V-8 engine has tons of potential since it was also used in the Mustang GT.
