Honestly, I knew what I was buying when I bought it. A well engineered, top of the line, fully loaded, Ford Thunderbird Elan. I got what I expected when I bought it andI knew I would have it for at least twenty years . . . barring any accidents, right?
This car will make a great car for an enthusiast or serious collector.

This is a great car. My first was an 84 and I loved it. This one is an anniversary edition with a 5.0L HO 5-speed. Fun to drive and turns heads. Only thing I did not like about these cars was the rust which always forms at the bottom of the doors.Dec 03, 2009

It was a fun car while I had it and I miss it, but I know its in good hands. It was a beauty for an older car and I got allot of comments for it even though it was not in mint condition.May 18, 2008

A sweet car. 8 way power bucket seats with lumbar support. You didn't sit in these seats, you were warmly welcomed, enveloped, and gently held in place. You felt as if the seat was happy holding you, lol. I made some changes on this car, FMS springs, intake, rotors, new 5 lug axles, short throw shifter, and a chip. Fun car. A 4 cyl that ran a 15.063 at the drag strip and beat an 8 cyl Corvette in the process.Jan 13, 2008

When I got this car it was a regular 6 cyl Thunderbird, blue outside and blue inside. Not very imaginative, eh? I'd dreamed of having a racecar for a long time, as a kid I went to the local track with my dad, and I guess that's where it began. I was running in SCCA SOLO events, and this car was my chance. I stripped the car inside, put in a racing seat and a 5 point seat belt, I had set of gauges installed, an MSD box, and a new distributer. I had the engine rebuilt, had it bored 40 over and fitted with a 4bbl carb. The car was an automatic when I bought and that had to go, the trouble was, Ford never mated a 5 spd to the V-6 in a Thunderbird. But they did in the Mustang (whew). So I had the clutch and tranny installed with the newly refreshed V-6. I got new 5 lug rotors for the front and got new 5 lug axles for the rear. The factory car had 4 lug wheels. I had the frame tied, new shorter springs, for that low down stable feel, headers and duel exhaust. I never did that great running the car, but that wasn't the car's fault and it was a hell of a lot of fun!Jan 13, 2008

Takes corners like a dream, quick off the line and high max speed. The '85 T-Bird is a great ride and if you can get your hands on one, DO IT!!. Overall its a great car and has tons of front leg room and enough rear leg room for most people.Sep 24, 2007
