1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

This 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is a pristine low-mileage example of one of the most respected American performance coupes of the 1980s. Finished in Silver Clearcoat Metallic over Scarlet Red cloth, it combines the sharply aerodynamic styling of the period with the advanced technology and driver-focused engineering that helped it earn major acclaim when new. Exterior highlights include integrated fog lights, functional intercooler hood scoops, automatic headlights, front cornering lights, retractable antenna, dual mirrors, and Ford’s signature keyless-entry pad. The car presents very cleanly overall, with only minor cosmetic imperfections noted.

The car rides on correct 16-inch aluminum wheels and features Ford’s Automatic Ride Control suspension system, a highly advanced setup for the era that gave the Turbo Coupe a more sophisticated feel than many of its rivals. Stopping power comes from four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, while power steering keeps the car easy to place on the road. The intercooled turbocharged 2.3L inline-four produces 190 horsepower and is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and Traction-Lok limited-slip differential, giving the car real performance character, strong mid-range boost, and the engaging feel enthusiasts want from a well-kept 1980s sport coupe.

Inside, the cabin is upholstered in Scarlet Red cloth over the power-adjustable front seats and rear bench. Features include the Power Lock Group, Light Group, power windows, power locks, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo with graphic equalizer. The analog instrumentation remains one of the car’s strong points, with a clear tachometer, speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. With low indicated mileage, a clean accident-free history, and an especially desirable five-speed Turbo Coupe drivetrain, this Thunderbird is an increasingly collectible and highly enjoyable performance car from Ford’s late-1980s lineup.
