In 1980 Ford had to meet a CAF� standard of 20 miles per gallon.
The quickest way to reach that goal is reduce weight. The 1980
T-Bird would be 1800 lbs lighter than the 1976 by building it on
the Fox platform. The same platform used for the mid-size Fairmont.
With the addition of rack and pinion steering, the light weight
Thunderbird was the best handler in years.
Owned by a little old lady (no kidding), this handsome white with
blue interior Thunderbird is all original with 18,232 miles on the
clock. The exterior and interior are showroom standard.
Buy it. Take to a car show. Come home with a trophy.
