Picture of 1988 Ford Thunderbird This Car has balls. Mine has a 5.0L v8. It accelerates faster then most cars out there and it has more power than most of the mustangs out there. If you have one try to find the orignial body kit from the 5.0 version . you might as well forget it.

Aggressive looking solid clear cut lines, makes people take a second look every time, the sweet sound of Boost is undeniable. The cost to maintain the vehicle is very affordable and the aftermarket realm for parts is considerably large and plentiful.

I bought this car fully stock with a bad oil leak at the on the intake and the oil pan i have since put in a rebuilt motor, put BBK headers, H-pipe, and flowmasters dumped in front of the rear axle. I've also rebuilt the trans and put in a PA street/strip valve body and a 8.8" rearend with 3.73 and limited slip from my automatic turbo coupe. Also have a few other small things done to it.

This car was built to race in autocross. Very little to do with comfort or anything besides handling and power. I did spend time making it stand out with the paint and wheels. This car is very fun to drive!
