1991 Ford Thunderbird Sport from North America - Comments

I have owned a 91 Thunderbird Sport since new! Purchased it in Aug. 91. Color is Twilight Blue with Titanium interior. All 91 "Sports" are identified by the Sport badge at the left lower tail light, V8 badging on both fenders and complete RED body trim molding on any body color available for this year model!

Information I have received over the years on production of the 91 Thunderbird with the Sport Option is 2976. This amount is less than the 90 35th. Anniversary SC Edition which was 3300+.

I feel this model will be very collectable in the next 10+ years!!

I have a 91 TBird. I bought it in 98 in Zanesville OH. It has the Sport/V8 Badgeing, 5.0 HO. I don't know if it is truely a "Sport" -I saw online that is supposed to have a "sport cluster" and I am not sure what defines that. I have replaced my 5.0 added a cold air kit, 76mm MAF, 70mm TB, Headers, Custom Ex, 3:55 and a Limited Slip. (It had an open axle). I have also upgraded the handleing with polyurethane bushings, bigger sway bar and some brackets. I LOVE MY BIRD! She has great mid range power and top end is great (spent 3 years in Germany with her BEFORE the Mods and she was great then too!

So, the "Sport" model has a couple extra badges and red body trim--that's it?

Not sure why this would make it especially collectable or worth much more than any other V8 'Bird?

Sport Models have SC springs too.

I have a 1991 Sport and have been building it up. I am the original owner. The larger, lower Sport springs significantly lower the car's center of gravity, and therefore allow much higher speeds through curves and turns. The handling properties of any vehicle are a MAJOR advantage, regardless of street or strip. Horsepower and handling are what makes sports cars have higher initial prices and higher resale values. Transmission experts in my area told me that the shift points in the valve body are also different in the Sport Model, making the car accelerate better. The number of vehicles produced has a direct affect on the fair market value. This should make the 1991 V8 Sport have a higher appraisal value. However, any unkept condition can negate this. Anyone with a 1991 V8 Sport Bird should never be apprehensive about investing money to keep it in excellent condition. The huge aftermarket for the Ford 302 drive train also helps to raise the market value and marketability.
