1988 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"Great car, very reliable, fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belt tensioner broke.
Bad front bearing.
Light on the radio out.
General comments?
This is a great car, fun to drive, handles good.
The Ford 3.8 is a great engine.
Very comfortable.
Would buy another Thunderbird.
No tach though, speedo stops at 85 mph, and damn gas shuts off at 120 :) I love this car!
