"It's a Ford after all eh!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Straps holding the gas tank in rusted out and fell off 2002.

Transmission is sticky. Takes a lot of strength trying to shift the car out of Park.

General comments?

The car does amazing brake stands and burnouts. It has a serious amount of acceleration. It does well at high speeds (160kmh) going down the highway.

The seats are quite comfortable and they don't start to hurt after long drives.

It also has a kick-in stock sound system. It plays my music loud the way I like it without any distortion.

Would like to comment on the 1986 Ford Thunderbird, I bought a used one back in December 1987 and still have it today, been driving it 300 miles a week to work for the past 15 years. I've just turned 270,000 miles and the only upkeep has been changing the oil every 3000 miles and other small repairs. I'll tell you it was the best $10,500 investment I've ever made in a vehicle. Henry Ford had the right idea.. John S. Atlanta, Ga.
