I remember when those came out, they were one of the hottest cars on the road!

[@gcbranger1189]

that was back in Bill Elliot's heyday.

[@AceEverett]

Beautiful machine. You guys definitely have a good system going to get all these rare, mint condition cars. I just started to fix up mine that was passed on to me from my grandfather, came onto youtube to find some inspiration. Auto but I'll be upgrading it eventually since that's the weak link and why the manuals were faster from the factory.

[@morrisf3957]

Real nice car.that 4 turbo was as fast as the 5.0 of the day actually.

[@davidburman451]

That's indentical to the 88 I drove for 7 years back in the day. Built at the peak of Ford quality....it has never been better. Im 70 and my Turbo Bird was hands down the tightest, most fun, best screwed together machine I ever owned.
I rue the day I let it go. Treat it well.....this car is made with "real" steel ....they don't make stuff like this anymore.

[@ShelbyBikeBoy]

Nice car man! Aren’t those paper tags the VIN #’s Greg? So you can see those panels were never replaced?
BTW, you’re looking good bud. Lookin like your “tune up” is working for ya!!! 😜💪🏻

[@johnwagner4559]

Yes

[@PC-mc5qw]

I smell the interior by looking at it.

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

Very rare find anymore. Let alone pristine.

[@dontcheatyourselftreatyour4654]

Omg I’m in love

[@hellokitty4105]

great car i have a 1988 turbo coupe also. mine is a automatic though.

[@Cola64]

Ford always took crap always hearing it from the gurus putting a turbo on the thunderbird and SVO and than the eaton supercharger on the 03/04 Cobra , look at all the big names now 🇺🇸
