1987 Ford Thunderbird

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sleek 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. At the inception of the Ford Thunderbird in the mid 1950s, this hot new car from Ford was a two seat sport car that rivaled the Corvette. After the short run of "Baby Birds" the decision was made to reengineer the Thunderbird into more of a personal luxury car. Nearly three decades would pass before any thunder and performance returned to the model with the introduction of the Turbo Coupe. "The 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe was a fresh take on American-made cars with a focus on drivability and technological advancements. It was a sleeker car and was a bold new direction for the Thunderbird nameplate." (Hotcars.com) The Turbo Coupe featured a 2.3l 4-cylinder engine that produced 190hp which was only 30hp less than the 5.0l Mustangs. This highly optioned black bird can be enjoyed as a daily driver or a weekend toy.
