Explore the 1989 Ford Thunderbird

I have loved this car for 29 years.

It is time to move on. Note that I will not sell it to a young person because you can get into trouble really fast due to its unbelievably awesome acceleration.

Best car I've owned

This car was amazing, it drove like a cloud. The interior cosmetics started to fall apart after a little while, but the engine and transmission were beautiful. I loved this car. Unfortunately I got rear-ended on a freeway and it was totaled, but if that hadn't happened I would probably still own it today!

Good car for the money

I'm the 3rd owner of this 1989 Thunderbird. I purchased the car for $800. After 22 years and 93k miles, the car still performs well. The only current issues that I have are the power window motors, electrical housing for the radio and high idle (probably a leak in the vacuum hose). Another thing to note is the brake system; they need to be replaced. Aside from these fixable issues, I love my "Big Bird".
