Pics of my 1st T-bird! 1988 Sport May 25, 2009, 03:54:21 PM Well I bought the car not knowing anything about thunderbirds but I am pretty happy with the purchase. I have learned alot from this site. So here is my 1988 Thunderbird Sport:Well there it is! For $800 I think I got a pretty good deal. It is bone stock down to the smog pump. It does need some things like a center console cover, headlights, smog delete, new rims, headliner, waxed and buffed, and carpet cleaned. I see many more birds in the future, I like this car alot! Hope you enjoyed the pics and I will post more in this thread as I improve the car. Quote Selected

Possibly a supercharger down the line but for now until i get my mustang running its a daily driver. Quote Selected

Pics of my 1st T-bird! 1988 Sport Reply #13 – May 26, 2009, 12:04:56 AM The engine is really clean but the valve covers leak some so it has a little oil on them. You can smell it burning off the manifolds too. Not ready to tackle that project just yet! lol Quote Selected
