  • OH BOY this was a treat! Born during a time when I was still in school and stable-mates to other very delectable Ford passenger cars at the time, this folks is an 80's Ford Telstar TX5!! Yes, it pretty-much predates every gadget you're holding or viewing this video on...
    What were you doing in 1984? Did u even exist yet? Well, this car did, and it was very popular indeed. Like the legendary TX3 (which I will review soon!) the TX5 was only available in liftback form, and this one is powered by a 2.0L (1,998cc), in-line 4cyl, 8V, SOHC carb'd engine producing a very respectable 94bhp and 158Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual, that sends drive to the front wheels.
    Now the best part... this car is for SALE! Yes, this amazing preserved specimen could be yours for a paltry RM7.5k, buy and drive, like holy shit, why am I not buying this?!?! I'll answer that in my next video, stay tuned!! :)

    This definitely represents cars of the early 80s: clean cut Ghia design, grill-less front, digital meter and plenty of push-button controls. My aunty had the already cool saloon version, but this TX5 is a step up.

    Wow. What a find. Was just mentioning about the 626 and Telstar on the Aurizn FB a few days ago. And here we are the TX5. With the awesome digital meter too. To put into perspective, Knight Rider was just showing on TV3 in 1984. And KITT of course had digital dash. So seeing this digital meter in '84 reminded one of KITT.

    Out of the classic Telstar's i prefer the AS TX5's, the indicators were moved down into the front bumper instead of being directly under the headlamps, and they came with different 15 inch alloys. I personally owned a AS TX5 Turbo Ghia, unfortunately the head blew up 3 days after i bought it. I had the head rebuilt but it blew out in the exact same spot as the first time with a massive chunk taken out between cylinder number 1 and 2. I ended up scrapping it afterwards unfortunately, but it was a really nice car for the 3 days i drove it lol
    Also the AS TX5 Turbo Ghia's came with electronic adjustable suspension, there was a push button where you could set it between soft and hard/sport and these little motors on top of the struts would wind a shaft that would adjust the suspension stiffness

I still remember, during my parents divorced, my mom and I went to the court in our Isuzu jj, any my father's family side in the tx5. I was so frustrated coz I love the tx5 hahaha. I was 5 or 6 back then, didn't understand why my parents went to the court separately. But i guess the tx5 really spark my interest in automobile
