1993 Ford Thunderbird Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I was really impressed by the overall power, performance, and handling characteristics that this car is capable of. While it is not as much of an all out performance based car like the Mustang are, it is definitely capable of holding it's own. Very comfortable, 2 way power sunroof, came with 7 way factory JBL stereo with factory subwoofer, leather interior, climate control, air bags, power seats, quite a few of the amenities. Always liked this body style when they were brand new but wasn't able to get one until a few years ago. Very glad I happened upon this one. I have the solid white one, white trim, white mirrors and blue leather interior. Always been a Thunderbird fan.Mar 17, 2013

pretty sweet performance wise. very fun with a stock 300 ft lbs of tq. Had to upgrade rear tires because of that to 275/40/17's instead of the stock 225's. VERY challenging to drive in the rain with the stock tires. stock car had LOTS of wheel hop but not nearly as much anymore with bigger tires/new suspension components that were worn out. ie bushings/axles. parts are cheap ...cuz its a ford.May 05, 2012

Performance. The acceleration is spectacular the torque from the supercharger is a terrific feeling. For how heavy and bulky the car is it doesnt lack much handling disadvantages. I also have a 2002 Mercury Cougar and i feel my 3800# thunderbird could easily out handle it. Build Quality. I has needed general repairs i.e. brakes tires rims stuff like that. and has also had a complete engine rebuild at 155,000 miles but was done to build the engine to where it can handle more pressure from the supercharger. The engine is now designed to where it will handle more power than the block. Appearence. The exterior needs a paint job but its black on black leather interior with full power options that includes dual power front seats a cd and tape player combo everything factory in the car. Its is a very sharp and sleek car of its time and i believe they were selling for more than a new mustang now is selling for. Cost of Ownership. The cost for parts and the attempt to find parts is stressful but can be done easily at the same time. My superchicken averages 23 miles to a gallon on 93 octane fuel which is better than most compact cars produced today! and i am pushing over 350 horsepower and 400 pounds of torque! Fun Factor This car is extremely fun to drive because i can have all the beauty of an aged car and all the power of a new sports car.Nov 23, 2011

I loved this car from the moment I set eyes on it, and mind you I was 5 years old. My parents bought the car to replace the van they had and I couldn't be happier. When I was 16 it was finally mine. We did have to replace the engine, but it was in a tbone accident and the front end looked as if it had barely been touched. The get up and go was good and it looked amazing inside and out. The brakes went fairly quickly. Mar 23, 2011

Didn't like it at first when I first got it, but now, I miss her!!! lol I dropped a 5.0 in mine, surprisingly didn't see quite as much change as I was hopin for, but on the higher end, she had a lot more get up n go. I didn't do anything else to it though, if I had put a K*N filter on it, I bet it woulda been a screamin eagle!!! Unfortunately I was a high-schooler on a tight budget. Feb 19, 2010

1993 For Thunderbird LX Coupe hooked up for drag racing. The pictures show the street ready form but with slicks and nitrous this car can run quarter mile times in the high 11s at around 120 mph. Horsepower comes in at around 430 with a similar amount of torque going to the rear wheels. Zero to 60 comes in just 4.5 seconds and top speed well lets just say the speedometer is buried deep... and you ought to hear it at idle or flying down the road through strait dual exhaust pipes. This car appears to be stock and is a real sleeper until the right foot hits the gas pedal and its fury comes out full throttle.Jan 15, 2008
