88 tc blue 5speed mint condition... perfect... $2,000
88 LX white 5.0 $200
88 Sport free
87 tc silver 5speed $600
88 tc white auto $200
88 XR7 $200
89 mark7 LSC  black $500

think my favorit was the first TC on the list, it was also my first car, next would be my current sport, and then the mark. all these cars were registered, inspected, insured and driven anywhere from 2002-2006.

I've never sold a T-Bird though. The 87 TC was hauled off to the wrecking yard on a flat bed and I still have the 87 Sport.


Me neither, my 87 parts car went to a buddy who was did the frame work on the one i totalled and the first one was stolen never to be seen again...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Over the years I have owned six fox birds. It started in 88 when I bought a brand new 88 maroon on gray leather TC 5 speed. It was a great car but we only had it about 8 months and my wife crashed it in a snow storm.
Then in 1990 I bought another 88 that was black on red and we swaped the 2.3 for a 5.0L ho and this was about the best overall driver that I have ever owned. It wasn't really that fast (it only went 14.3 but it was just a great car.
Then in the mid 90s I bought an 87 with the 3.8 V6 and this was a great car also and we bought it with 40K on it and sold it with almost 200K on it and never had a problem with this one either. we sold it to a friend and he put another 60 or 70K on it with no problems.
Then in 98 I bought another 88 gray on black TC 5 speed and it was another great car.
in between all this we had assorted 87 88 t birds but these were the ones that we kept for a little while. Most of the other ones were just short term buy and resell typ of cars.
Overall I would have to say that the 87/88 Thunderbird is a great car.

I’m a monogamist, only one.
When I saw my first Medium Canyon Red XR-7, it was an ’86 model with a 5-speed. I was very taken and it was love at first sight. Although I couldn’t separate her from her owner, it took me nearly a year of searching for another ’85 or ’86 XR-7 in Medium Canyon Red with a 5-speed and in December of 1987 I found one. I quickly obtained ownership for $7,000 and have been happily married ever since.
