This weekend I replaced a sweeping power steering return line, center console latch and pulled the door card to reattach the power door lock actuator.

Then I took it on a 100 mile shakedown run to prepare for a trip to a car show in Sonoma next month.

I'm loving this car!

I really like your two-tone paint. Yeah they are pretty similar. Could you get the floor shifter with the bench seat?

Today, I replaced the door strikers since I had a little squeak from the doors. I also got the underhood light functioning again. Finally, I got some condensation out of the driver's side headlight. That was a strange one since the car has sat in my garage for the past week.

Any leads on where I could find a new center console latch? All the ones on ebay are for Turbo Coupes or some other trim level.

Thanks!

Its wild to me that the preferred equipment package cost almost triple the upgrade to the 5.0

The Marti report said it was only one of 206 87s with this paint and trim code.

Not many LX cars came with leather !

Interesting, 5.0, console but it doesn't appear to be an LX sport !

I like it !

Enjoy
  I ordered a Marti report so it will be interesting to see what that says

As I was looking through the owners manual I noticed a piece of paper folded up in the holding case. It turned out to be the original window sticker



She really went all out with the options!

It is in really nice shape:

A few weeks ago I saw a mint looking 1987 Ford Thunderbird LX at my local cars and coffee. There was a for sale sign on the windshield so I took a photo to follow up with the owner after the show. The car was owned by an elderly woman who had recently passed away. Her family was selling the car and the house. I made an appointment to drive the car a few days later. With only 26k original miles it drove perfectly. All the electronics worked perfectly and you could tell she really cared about the car.

After a short discussion with my wife about how we needed to buy it even though we already have a 65 Mustang, I made an offer and picked it up a few hours later.

Here it is in the driveway before I drove it home:



After getting a few blocks away, the car started chiming at me. A few tense seconds later I realized that she had set the speed warning at 25MPH!

After the uneventful drive home:



The trunk had all sorts of blankets and california dusters:





In the spare tire area was a pair of coveralls for changing tires without ruining your outfit
