1986 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"This Thunderbird flies like it is supposed to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not too many problems have arose with this car. It needed an exhaust system, tune up, and then your normal wear and tear like brakes, tires, and batteries. Oh, it does need a new A/C Compressor. The ORIGINAL one finally seized up.
General comments?
My grandmother gave me this car. She is 79 years old and decided that she was done with driving. There are only now 29,541 miles on it!!! It has classic tags and it runs like a dream and drives like an eight cylinder. I love this car. It is fully restored and I plan on keeping it from a very long time.
