1987 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"You would be surprised what glass packs and an Edelbrock air intake system can do"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leak, transmission leak (both were seals).
Unusual rear-quarter panel rust.
Horn doesn't work and that crappy headliner keeps falling off.
General comments?
I think it is the best looking T-bird ever made. It has an Edelbrock air-intake system, a custom paint job, a set of American Racing rims with ZR rated tires, dual power leather seats, glass packs(they sound good) and a lot of torque (250 lb/ft).
The car has a nice soft ride, even with the sports suspension. I hope I never have to part with this car.
I LOVE IT. For more info email me at Pintoxi5@hotmail.com
