I Also Own One And Its Engine I Just Rebuilt And I
I also own one and its engine I just rebuilt and I took a bigger turbo out of an 86 and its awesome. I have also had a custom performance cam rebuilt. Next is massive induction and front mount intercooler, these cars have huge potential. I have seen them with up to 500 hp on stock block. My car is from az so it's rust free. If you can purchase one from places without winter because the cars tend to have electrical problems so if there's no cold, there's less of a chance to have them. I have a spare one just for parts turbo guage devices help you control your turbo a lot better and get more power out of it.

Well My Best Friend Has A 87 Ford T-bird Turbo Cou
Well my best friend has a 87 Ford T-Bird Turbo Coupe which I will purchase very soon. I have driven this car and have to say wow. The turbo has amazing power and is very easy to bump up the power. A neat feature is the suspension. There is a button which can set the suspension to firm or auto. If on auto then the car when driven hard around a corner will activate briefly to firm so that you don't have a small accident which ends your joyride. The comfort in this car is unbelievable for the year, make and performance. Ford really pulled out an amazing car. Whether you are young and want power without paying for high powered cars or the gas then I recommend this. If you're older and want comfort without breaking the bank then this is perfect for you. If you have a family don't worry. it may look cramped in the back but I am over 6 feet tall and fit nicely.

These Cars Were Built On A Strange, Tough Chassis
These cars were built on a strange, tough chassis that was only used in Cougars, Mark VII's, and T-birds for only a year or so. The handling is excellent. The possibilities are endless (if you're into modification). And the car is great. The way I see it, is if you have 20k or more you want to dump into a car you could buy new, or you could make new and have something that is unique. You can't go out and buy an Audi or a Jag and whip up a name for it right away. Body shops and modification garages see this kind of car as a car that isn't impossible to work on, like your strange foriegn sports cars. When you build these cars instead of buying a new exotic car you gain pride and respect. You can be proud of an exotic or you can be proud of something you had built for YOU.
Many enthusiasts, like myself, live to see such cars.
ok i heard one of you saying that it is hard to find a 87 turbo coupe without rust? this might have been the best info i have got from someone in a long time. you see i am looking to purchase a mint condition 1987 ford thunderbird turbo coupe for $3000 canadian...it has 90 000 k's. it has never seen winter or rain. totally mint condition no problems nice paint...only thing is its a automatic trans...is this car worth $3000 canadian...o ya not one piece of rust...better shape then a 2005 t-bird
I JUST picked up an '87 T-Bird 5.0 v8 w/60k for like $600. Needs paint, some small dings, but runs nice. Glad to see that these cars dont suck, and other folks see that special kickin-aspect I do...
I have a 87 turbo coupe, and i was very impressed with it, but I never happy with things until i push the limits of what it CAN do, and when i first popped the hood, i was like WOW look at all the extra room. Now i'm wondering exactly how big of an enigne i could drop into it....
My 87 t-bird was the easiest car to work on. They are four cylinders but with just the right amount of work it could absolutely smoke a 5.0 mustang. I have raced 6 cylinder camaros and mustangs.. They didn't stand a chance
The man is right. The Ford Thunderbird TurboCoupes of the 1980's were some of the best cars of that decade, and they would still stand up to today's cars. So many options, so much room to tinker and play, those T-Birds set the standards for all car companies, American and foreign. With so much performance, smooth styling, and with it's classic, fun-to-drive spirit, the TurboCoupe will always remain as an important mark in automotive history.
