1997 Ford Thunderbird LX from North America - Comments

"Equipped with the V8 and the Sport Package these are sleeper performance cars"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power door lock failed at about 50,000 miles.

General comments?

Engine has plenty of power for acceleration, runs smooth/quiet, and does fine on regular fuel.

Has the optional "Sport Package" which includes larger brakes, but this particular car does not have anti-lock and braking is outstanding.

It features independent rear suspension and has excellent cornering as well as a smooth ride.

Replacing the stock ignition wires with MSD brand performance wires resulted in a definite increase in power.

It's a very nice car that has no problems to worry about and would make a great "family" car.

How can I tell if a 1997 Thunderbird is a Sport Edition, I used to own a 1993 SC. I'm interested in the Sport or Limited Edition. How can I tell? Do you know the specs on the LX Sport? Any help is appreciated and can be sent to garcia_8812@hotmail.com.

Thanks,

Steve.
