Vehicle Description
It's time to get your hands on a cool cruiser for quite an
affordable price. This low-mileage 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo
Coupe is the perfect blend of technology, style, and power - all
presented in a time capsule level of quality.
We like these ninth-generation cars because they returned these
T-birds to an aerodynamic shape that ignited a design revolution at
Ford. It looks especially correct on the high technology Turbo
Coupe. The NACA ducts in the hood, flush-fitting headlights, hint
of a spoiler in the trunk, and the distinct black trim line that
encircles the whole car really gives this a balance of premium
machine and true sports car style. This is a well-respected classic
that has spent its life in the south. And you can really see the
whole car has been treated with proper care, right down to the
original medium red paint.
Inside, this one perfectly blends personal luxury with cool
'80s-style technology. It starts with those bucket seats up front.
They're finished in a comfy two-tone velour and have enough
bolstering to make a BMW jealous. If you're wondering why those
buckets look like they have never seen any seat time, that's
because this survivor-level vehicle has averaged less than 600
miles annually! So people have only been in the driver's seat for
special occasions. Like a true luxurious T-bird this one has a long
list of desirable features, like air conditioning, power seats,
power windows, power locks, cruise control, power steering, the
original AM/FM/cassette stereo, alarm, and a sunroof. Plus, that
stick shift in the center console and ride control system on the
dash let you know this T-bird is for far more than just cruising
the boulevard.
If you know about Ford performance in the 1980s, then this engine
bay will get you excited. This is the numbers-matching 2.3-liter
turbo motor, and it's the same one from the Mustang SVO (Special
Vehicle Operations) program. That means it was developed by
engineers who wanted to make the best performance machine around.
This fuel-injected, turbocharged, and intercooled, four-cylinder
engine is both smart and tough. This is a computer-controlled unit
that was given beefed-up internals to handle even more boost than
the engineers were dialing in. Ford liked to tout that this turbo
motor was just like a V8, and there were not far off considering
this made about as much power as a contemporary 5.0 Mustang GT. But
what made the difference of the SVO was that it had a true European
flair on the road. That also comes from features like the
four-wheel disc brakes and the Borg Warner five-speed manual
transmission.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and original
warranty card. A Turbo Coupe with this level of preservation is
nearly impossible to find. So when it's a cool T-bird for an
exceptional price, you should view this as a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. Don't miss out, call today!
