87 Thunderbird LX, V8, 118k, For Sale or Trade!


1987 Ford Thunderbird LX
The Good Stuff:
-118,000 Miles on Stock 5.0 V8 Engine
-Car Runs Great
-Has an Aftermarket CD player installed
-Full Digital Dash
-New Fuel Pump installed at 112k Miles.
-Oil Changed every 3k miles.
-No Rust, Arizona Car
-90% Tire Tread Remaining!
-Appears to be fully loaded, except for Moonroof
-Had Auto-Dimming Headlights
-Driver and Passenger seats Powered, As are Windows
-All Windows except Front Windshield appear to be slightly tinted.
-Never Smoked in
-No Body Damage

The "Problems":
-Roof has oxidation problem, paint is faded
-The drivers side Motor Mount needs changing.
-U-Joints may need replacing, don't know however. Car has a slight clunk when letting off throttle, which may or may not be the U-joints. Would change motor mount first though, because it is broken.
-Power Antenna works sometimes, other times doesn't. Have used a small rubber stop to hold the Antenna up.
-Small Area on the Nose appears to have been repainted with touch-up Paint, possibly to conceal former crack, or chipping.

Didnt you origionally want this car over your TC because of the whole "I NEED A V8 SO I DONT STALL WITH THE AC ON!!!" thing???

Yeah, but I've come to miss the better suspension, and Aggressive look of the Turbo Hood and Front End, the Snowflake wheels, and the Turbo Interior. Granted, if I had found a Sport v8, I probably would be satisfied due to the interior, and dual exhaust, but I got an LX, and really want a Turbo again. Sure, air was a problem, but that could have been solved if I had waited to get R-12 in the system, instead of the R-134 that was in it.

Therefore, I am going to sell this car or trade it if i find a willing Turbo Coupe owner. I figured I would come here first before putting it up on Auto Trader.

You do know I'm out of working TC A/C compressors, right? ;)

You wouldn't happen to have a Jon Moller working on your car would you? He's a buddy of mine that lives in AZ and he called to ask me about a customer's car that was a funky color with a "purple" interior, TC door panels, and a bench seat. Couldn't be that many Rosewood cars could there?

I know of quite a few TC's, but you're going to have to travel to get them.

Available for trade? Hell, I'll request time off from work if that's the case. I love road trips.
