1988 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"Above average performance and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater core, rear calipers, 2nd gear syncros, rack and pinion, rear axles (both).
Charged AC once.
General comments?
This car has been a die hard car. I've had it on the track (both road and 1/4 mile). Still running the original turbo!
