No I don't own a T-bird, but I remember the 2.3L L4 turbo T-bird that could run in the 140mph range. I always want one when the first came out.

[sm=nxsmile.gif]I own a 1990 Ford thunderbird which i got from my father in law as a gift with 42520 miles on it.
He hardley ever used it due to the fact that he isalso a residential superintendent like myself who works and live in the building. He would only use the car on his days off. And to this day i still have it parked in my garage
with my F-Explorer 2004 Eddie Bower. The car still runs great. I also moded a few things on the car to make it look hot. The miles on the Ford thunderbird is at 44576 miles.
Any questions that i may help you out with please feel free to ask.

Bought a new one in '97, the last year of the old design (in my opinion, much better looking than its replacement) . The black color was tough to keep looking spiffy, but it was a great car. Sold it in 2003 with 11,000 miles on it and got all my money back. Sometimes we get lucky.

I have a 1991 LX that my ex and I ordered brand new. We wanted a loaded car, silver with a grey cloth interior. The car has been garage kept since new, has 79,000 miles. One of her friends was driving it recently, and someone pulled in front of them and took the frontend out, but did not hurt the engine. I bought it back from the insurance company for $300.00. I want to take the drivetrain out and put it in a 61 or 62 Thunderbird.

Well, add another one! I bought a 62 Hardtop last weekend in Bakersfield. No engine or trans, so I will be installing the 5.0 / AOD in the 62 from the 91.

That is my 1997 Thunderbird LX Coupe. I bought it for 4000 Dollars (U.S.) and have been just having a great time with it over here in Korea. There are very few Muscle cars over here, so I get quite a few heads turning my way. I have been doing a little work on it like lower rocker arms and ball joints, But nothing major, the parts are reasonably priced and shipping has been painless so no complaints.

I have a 93 LX, the sport/luxury mut. :D

Edit: maybe someone would happen to want to throw some spare parts for it my way :D Could pretty much use a tune up all over at this point, right wheel rattles if I drive over something more uneven than a piece of paper, and its got a weird little buzz going on now, also in the right wheel well :( Really love my tbird though :D
