1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
Just a quick drive in the Thunderbird.
1986, 2.3 turbo, 5 speed, 96k miles, all stock. The car has the obvious IVR problems as indicated by the gauge readings from start to finish. Otherwise, its a great car that recently gave me 28 mpg.

1985 2.3L Thunderbird turbo Coupe engine & Tranny. The engine will be rebuild with new rings, bearings and gaskets...then I am thinking about installing it all in a Mustang along with a LA3 engine computer and Intercooler with a HKS type BOV Blow off valve.
