I've had to replace the water pump, and besides from doing a brake job, and purchasing new tires, there has been nothing wrong with this car.
I've always enjoyed power and performance in a car. My last vehicle was a V8, so I couldn't deal with a 6 cylinder engine, and bought the T-Bird LX with the V8. I love it, cause when I need to, I can get up and really goooo!
I also drive a T-Bird LX 5.0. I bought it as my first car and will from now on never settle for less than a V8 engine. The Thunderbird in my opinion is one of the greatest compromises between luxury and power. My brother bought a mustang that costs more than my car. I however prefer my car over his and believe my custom exterior work makes it more intriguing to the eye. The only car I would prefer over mine is the American idle- a Cadillac.
