1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

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!
