You are looking at an EXTREMELY clean 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. This is the last year of this body style and the last year of the turbo. In 1989 they changed the whole design and swapped the turbo charger for a supercharger...Hence the t-bird Super coupe!  I have had this car for almost 4 years and love it to death. I listed this car for sale last summer but i decided to keep it.. Now my circumstances have changed and i have lost my garage space. It's been outside for almost a month and it's killing me. I'd rather sell to someone who appreciates this car like i do than to run outside and wipe the bird shit off of it every two hours. 


EXTERIOR:

 SUPER CLEAN LAZER STRAIGHT BODY WITH MIRROR FINNISH BLACK PAINT. NOT A DENT, DING OR SCRATCH .....THERE IS SLIGHT SUN FADING ON THE ROOF CLOSE TO THE REAR WINDOW BUT THE CAR IS SO SHINY IT'S HARD TO NOTICE. THE RED PINSTRIPE ON THE CAR IS BRIGHT AND STANDS OUT.  I HAVE 17" BLACK POWDER COATED MUSTANG COBRA R RIMS WITH A CHROME LIP AND RED CALIPER COVERS TO ACCENT THE RD PINSTRIPE AND IT LOOKS REAL NICE. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 60 % TREAD ON THEM. I ALSO HAVE A 3 QUARTER BRA ON THE FRONT TO HIDE SOME OF THE ROAD CHIPS ON THE NOSE AND 1980'S STYLE G.T.S. TINTED HEAD LIGHT COVERS TO MACH THE TINTED WINDOWS. FINALLY I HAVE 2" CHROME TAILPIPE TIPS THAT EXTEND JUST PAST THE REAR BUMPER WHICH ALSO LOOKS A LIL MEAN!

INTERIOR: 
DON'T ASK ME WHY FORD WOULD PUT A BLUE AND GREY TWO TONE INTERIOR WITH A BLACK AND RED EXTERIOR BUT THEY DID. THE INTERIOR IS SUPER NICE WITH TWO SMALL FLAWS. THE DASH IS CRACKED WICH I HAVE HID WITH A CUSTOM MADE DASH COVER AND A CIGARETTE BURN ON THE HEAD LINER FROM THE PREVIOUS KNUCKLEHEAD OWNER. AFTERMARKET RADIO AND CD PLAYER LOOKS AND SOUNDS NICE.

ENGINE:
ANYONE WHO KNOW'S THIS CAR, KNOWS THE MOTOR. THE 2.3 LITER TURBO IS THE SAME MOTOR THAT FORD PUT IN THE S.V.O. MUSTANG AND RUNS AWSOME. TURNS OVER EVERY TIME ,THIS CAR RUNS LIKE A TOP AND SHIFTS PERFECT! THE TURBO SPOOLS UP AND THE CAR TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET.....ANYONE WHO KNOWS THIS MOTOR ALSO KNOWS THAT THE TURBO ONLY ENGAGES WHEN YOU WANT IT TO AND IN 1987 THEY INTRODUCED THE INTERCOOLER WHICH MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FROM THE PREVIOUS MODLES. (YOU CAN GO THOUGH EVERY GEAR AND USE THE TURBO OR EVERY GEAR AND NOT USE IT) THE SUPERCHARGER (1989) WORKS ALL THE TIME WICH LEADS TO MORE FREQUENT FAILURE. I HAVE OVER $3,000.00 IN RECEIPTS FOR THE WORK I HAVE DONE. 

NEW:
HEATER CORE, EVAPORATOR CORE AND ALL NEW A.C. LINES. EVERY SENSOR AND T-STAT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW DASH CLUSTER. BRAND NEW STOCK STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BACK, PLUGS, WIRES, HOSES, BELTS , RADIATOR , TIMING BELT, NEW HEADS, INTAKE ,BLOCK AND HEAD GASKET. 

THE SLIGHTLY BAD: 

THE DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DON'T WORK (ACTUATOR)?  THERE IS A 3 INCH CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND A CIGARETTE BURN IN THE HEADLINER. THE ROOF HAS SLIGHT SUN FADING TOWARDS THE REAR WINDOW..  DESPITE THESE THINGS THIS CAR GETS A HUGE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION  AND GETS A TROPHY FROM EVERY CAR SHOW AND CRUISE NITE I BROUGHT HER TO. ( PROB. BECAUSE IM ALWAYS THE ONLY TURBO COUPE AT THE SHOWS) HA!
FOR THE SUPER SERIOUS, I WILL GO OUT AND TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES YOU REQUEST. WHY SPEND 10 OR 20 GRAND ON A CLASSIC WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET A NICE CLASSIC T-BIRD FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. OR GET THE CLASSIC INSURANCE FOR 150$ A YEAR AND USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER. ANYONE IN THE AREA IS ENCOURAGED TO COME TAKE A LOOK AND I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY TO SHIP. WILL DELIVER WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS FOR GAS AND TOLL REIMBURSEMENT. 

*****PLEASE NOTE ****** I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY IF I SELL THE CAR LOCALLY OR IF I GAIN STORAGE BACK.  CONTACT ME ANYTIME WITH OFFERS. REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TRADES.  THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING.

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
