1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"Wonderful car if taken care of"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wear and tear, tires, one brake job since I have owned it. Replaced in-tank fuel pump, alternator, fuel pressure regulator, and of course the struts and rear shocks.
General comments?
This car is Ford's best kept secret. I only wish I could find another low miler. The interior for the most part is very nice, but parts are expensive.
