1982 FORD THUNDERBIRD

This two-owner 1982 Ford Thunderbird Heritage personal luxury coupe has been driven 83,702 miles since new and is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 paired with an automatic transmission. It was owned long-term by the seller’s father and has been covered and garage-kept. Equipment includes a power driver's seat, a digital instrument cluster, SelectAire climate control, and power options. Finished in Pastel Vanilla over a tan cloth interior, this 8th-generation Thunderbird is now offered with a window sticker, an owner's guide, a transmission booklet, service records, a spare wheel and tire, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear Virginia title in the seller’s name.

This 1982 Thunderbird two-door coupe is finished in Pastel Vanilla with a matching half-vinyl roof and has been garage-kept and covered. The exterior comes with hideaway headlamps, bodyside moldings, front cornering lamps, rocker panel moldings, bright mirror caps, and a full-width taillight panel.

Steel 14-inch wheels with wire hubcaps are wrapped in whitewall tires.

The tan cloth interior is furnished with a padded split bench seat front in front and a solid bench in the rear, matched to the door panels, dash, carpeting, and floor mats. Amenities include a power driver's seat, a radio, a tilt steering column, interval windshield wipers, woodgrain trim, tinted glass, power door locks, an illuminated visor vanity mirror, cruise control, a rear window defroster, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a power antenna. The seller notes that the SelectAire air conditioning system works but will likely need repairs.

Instrumentation includes an electronic cluster with a digital speedometer, a fuel gauge, and other readouts. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 83K miles, which is consistent with the last mileage reading dated October of 2011 on the CARFAX report. The true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

The carbureted two-barrel 4.2-liter V8 was rated at 115 horsepower when new. It comes with a new battery and transfers power to the rear wheels via a column-shifted Ford AOD 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.

Stopping power comes from power-assisted front disc brakes and drums in the rear. Steering is also power-assisted. The suspension uses a MacPherson strut setup at the front and a four-link live axle in the rear along with coil springs at all four corners.

The CARFAX report shows a vehicle history that is free of accidents and damage. The sale includes a window sticker, an owner's guide, a transmission booklet, service records, and a spare tire.
