T-bird Til The Day I Die — If you take care of your '86 thunderbird, and put a little work into it, it can evolve into the best car you'll ever own. I split the exhaust from the manifold and turned it into dual exhaust--along with servicing the engine regularly and keeping the tires in good shape, I get 20 mpg in the city and 25mpg on the highway. My car has 167,000 miles and still going strong. It was my first car, and I plan to restore it and treat it as well as it has treated me. Primary Use: Family transportation |

One Of A Kind — I like everything about this car except that it didn't come equipped with an intercooler. The car has the perfect size and shape for someone wanting a sporty "family" car. the turbo powered five speed has the feel that makes you want to go faster-and it will. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Respect The Car And Your Good — well i have had this car for about a year now, i love the power the 302 puts out without the everyday sight of a mustang. the handleing on this car is a little tough to get used to, but as far as the size and wight goes its the best its gona get. ive pushed my thunderbird to 135 without any performence upgrades. overall its a fun car with no lack of power or appearance. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Worst Car I Had Ever Had To Deal With. Sorry Ford Motor-car This One Sucked. — Again borrowed pic.I had regular steel rims on mine, but the colour is right.The first couple of months I had this car were great.Barely 7 years old. Then came the 4 starter change-outs. then the air pump went. Then the mini cats on the Y-pipe exhaust clogged up. Then the cat itself got clogged. Then one day, **POOF** white smoke out the tail pipe. The head gasket blew out. Every other month there was always something with this car. I did like the looks of the car, course that just about as far as it went. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

1986 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 — A big comfy car that felt like a smaller sports car. 100+foot burnout with the 5.0 V-8 and only 60000K on it, 4 speed auto/overdrive, fully loaded. Gas pig if you are hard on the gas, but good on the hwy. Good reliability, but bad for rust |

1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe — I used to own this car. It was a while back, but I still remember it clearly. VERY FAST!. I remember once my tires chirped in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. It was a 4 cylinder turbo charged engine. It was just as fast as the V8 version. It was nice and roomy on the inside and muscular looking on the outside. |

ProsGood gas mileage, great handling, great pickup ConsI've had some starter problems and it ate up batteries until they figured it out. That's it.

I Love This Car!!!!!! — I got my T'bird in 1990 for 5K and it was in showroom condition. It has about 42K miles on it and I haven't had to do any major repairs on it other than the usual kinds (breaks, ect.) It still performs great and the pick-up is tremendous, this car literally runs out of the gate. Great handling, comfortable, and good on gas, even with the prices today. I've gotten it banged up a bit, and she isn't as pretty as she was, but neither am I, so who cares? Only lately she developed an oil leak that I found out is the main seal and I was told it 's a design flaw and I'll have trouble finding someone to fix it, but as long as it holds I could get another 30K miles. Not bad for a 22 year old car. Owner for 18 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:5,000 |
