1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe Economy, Luxury And Performance In One Package. — I owned my Turbo Coupe for almost ten years and have yet to find anything that comes close to as fun to drive. I rue the day I sold it and swear I will get another one some day. |

Good Car That If Taken Care Of Can Be One Of The Best. — Had one for three years now. have put 17,000 miles on the 64,000 it had when I got it.In that time I have spent only about 500 dollars, to rebuild the transmission(5 speed) and brake pads.The car runs a three inch exhaust, a super chip, 19 pounds of boost and a k&n air filter. Got 233 on dyno. Average 17 in city. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsI can only state that there are so many pros, it is the reason I have kept this car for 25 years. ConsGas mileage and it leaks oil, but very little.

My Pride And Joy — The styling of this car was way before its time. The features this car has are amazing for the year it was built and they all work. This vehicle has only left me stranded 3 times in 25 years! There are so few of these 87 Thunderbirds in our area, that I am certain when I am on the road each week, driving it around, folks don't know what it is. Yes, it gets looks and several folks have talked to me about her at the stop light. No, it is not for sale ;-). It has new paint, rebuilt transmission, and a fair amount of body work was completed before the beautiful paint job, which several body shops said that they could not match. Finally found a shop that painted it with no problem. I am a Ford Lady,, I also own a 98 Ford Explorer as well! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Its A Ford T-bird. She Is An Icon — Excellent older vehicle. Fun to drive. Borg-Warner T5 tranny. Whats not to love? And my kid fits in the back! I get almost 30mpg in her and she is a blast to drive. On the highway you cant ask for a better ride! Primary Use: Family transportation |

ProsBody construction ConsNot a snow car (Rear wheel drive), gas mileage

My Most Favorite Car That I Miss The Most! — While the gas mileage sucked, and it didn't do well in snow or ice because of the rear wheel drive - I LOVED this car! It was a tank! The acceleration was great, the build quality was EXCELLENT. It only needed a few small repairs over the years since it was a 1987. The car in the pictures isn't the one I had but it's the same body style. The one that I had was baby blue. Only wish it hadn't been totaled. :( Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Stay Away From Most Fords Except Trucks — The car was okay but had it's typical share of problems Fords usually have like electrical problems. Even with the turbo the car was a little to heavy for a 4 cylinder. I found that out when it just died out coming back from a 4th of July party and we had all we could do to push it with 4 people. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Way Better Then A Grand National! — more power then you'd expect. Handles, corners and stops better then it's competitors (grand national). It also gets better gas milage and has many luxury items standard which are only options on other cars! first with 4 wheel disc and ABS! |

It's My Husbands Car — My husband loves his 1987Ford T-Bird Turbo. So, much he refuses to give it up. It is silver with some red trim. It could use some work but it runs like a sewing maching. I brought it home for him to try and he fell in love. |

Glad They Stopped Making These — Bought it new, but now I would stick to trucks as far as Ford is concerned. This thing ate up 2 alternators within 25,000 miles. The electrical system was a nightmare. Wires would just crack and short out. The brake lights went out and the digital speedometer went dead. Turned out wherever a wire moved-it cracked. Biggest waste of money yet. |
