1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 2.4L 4 cyl
Summary:
One of the most unique, fun, and fast cars you'll ever drive
Faults:
BRAKES! Very expensive when the whole set needs to be replaced. Other than that, no engine problems.
General Comments:
Mileage was exceptional, especially on long trips, got 529 miles on one tank of gas on my way to Texas.
Only raced it once, and that was because a guy pestered me at a bar, then followed me home, wanting to race me. I had the car in the garage and he still wanted to race. After 10 minutes of telling the guy to leave me alone, I told him to get it out on the road. Needless to say, he was a spec in my rearview mirror when I got through with him. I regret the day I got rid of that car!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

OK, I bought mine with no tranny in near mint for 400.00. The tranny was done at the shop prior, (cost me another 800.00) so the tranny problem was licked from the start.
All in all, very impressive bone stock. Would love any info on performance mods from anyone.
