1987 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Great overall ability and performance!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Recently replaced the radiator and alternator.
The electric locks also had to be replaced.
General wear over the years has led to more repair in recent days.
General comments?
My father bought this car off the showroom floor in the fall of 1986, and has maintained it since. Most of the miles are from highway usage. He drove approximately 100k miles on the interstate at 70mph or more. It has been given to me to drive for school and work. The car has almost every amenity available for that year. 8-way power seats, power locks, power windows, digital a/c and instruments. It is a real joy to drive, and hope to one day restore it to its original glory.
