This one-owner 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is finished in Twilight Blue Clearcoat Metallic over a Raven Charcoal cloth interior and gets its power from a rebuilt turbocharged 2.3-liter I4. That is connected to a 5-speed manual transmission with a clutch that was replaced when the engine was rebuilt. Equipment includes cruise control and power locks and mirrors. Located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, this Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is available now with receipts associated with its rebuilt engine and new clutch, a transferrable 3-year/30K-mile warranty covering the engine work, and a clear title, though CARFAX reports the vehicle as a total loss in 2001.
For the 1987 model year, the new Thunderbird received updated styling that included flush-mounted headlights and side glass as well as revised taillights. This particular 1988 model is dressed in Twilight Blue Clearcoat Metallic paint accented with a red accent stripe that runs around the perimeter of the lower body. It features a lower front fascia with foglights, a closed grille area, and dual hood scoops.
According to the current owner, the car has never been driven during the winter, but they report that the hood and driver's-side quarter panel were repainted in the spring of 2021 due to sun-induced paint fading.
The Raven Charcoal cabin is furnished with gray carpeting and two-tone gray bucket front and rear bench seating. Equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, and cruise control. The dashboard houses analog instrumentation that includes a 6K-rpm tachometer and 95-mph speedometer as well as gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, boost, and battery amperage.
The seller reports that a slight turn of the volume knob can occasionally cause the volume to go from a low level to a high level.
The dual-scoop hood covers a turbocharged 2.3-liter I4 that was rebuilt in September of 2020. It's connected to a 5-speed manual gearbox that was equipped with a new clutch at the same time. The car's total mileage is reportedly 95,693, but the engine and clutch have 2,000 miles on them. A new radiator was installed in June of 2021.
The 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe came from the factory with Automatic Ride Control. That is reportedly non-functional in this car, which is equipped with new shocks that are incompatible with the system. The original Auto-Ride shocks will be provided with the sale of the car.
Sale includes paperwork related to the car's rebuilt engine and new clutch as well as a transferrable 3-year/30K-mile warranty with 2 years remaining that covers the engine work. Additionally, the vehicle will come with a nylon storage cover and a front leather Bra.
AUTOHUNTER ADMIN UPDATE 9/30/21 8 AM PST: Per CARFAX the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurance company in 2001 due to minor hail damage
