1989 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"This car is positively a gem of a keeper!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the water pump.
Replaced thermostat.
Fuel tank leaks.
Passenger power window doesn't work properly.
General comments?
I bought this car on a trip to Tampa, FL.
Driving from there, through Georgia, and ultimately into Michigan, the car handled very well, fuel efficient, and possesses more power than I thought possible in a V-6!
I found it very comfortable, even driving such a long distance.
With the price I paid, it was definitely the best bargain I could have ever found!
