1984 Ford Thunderbird Turbo

$ 24,995 Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you a time capsule from 1984 in the form of a Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. This Aero-Bird is a stunning representation of the second year of the ninth generation Thunderbirds and it sports a mere 24,757 actual miles on the odometer! Not only that, but it also comes with a Deluxe Marti Report that shows it is a 1 of 1 car - very cool! This T-bird is dressed in what we believe is its original paint - Oxford White (9L) - with faded painted pinstripes that appear dark gold in color (though we suspect that they may have been burgundy when new). The paint still has a nice shine and it's in very good driver quality condition overall. Up front is a bright eggcrate grille with a Thunderbird logo flanked by quad rectangular headlights recessed in black buckets. Below, on the urethane bumper cover is a black and chrome body molding that wraps around and encircles the whole car. Set into the lower front fascia are a set of Marchal fog lamps with covers. Looking down the sides of the car you'll see black dual side mirrors, black door handles, and black window trim all contrasting the white paint. Both fenders proudly display EFI Turbo badging, letting everyone know that this is no average T-Bird. The C-pillars both have Thunderbird Logo badges that add to the look. On the roof is a tinted pop-up sunroof that is also removable. Around back you'll find Thunderbird Logos on the clear taillights and Turbo Coupe and Thunderbird badges on the decklid. The finishing touch is a very nice set of factory 14 aluminum wheels all wrapped in Michelin TRX tires. Under the hood is a bone-stock engine bay that's home to a turbocharged 2.3 litre (140ci) 4-cylinder engine with fuel injection and Ford's EEC-IV electronic engine control system. This four cylinder was pretty quick for 1984, putting out 145 hp and 180 lb/ft of torque. Atop the engine is a black valve cover with Ford Fuel Injection Turbo on it. A look around reveals power steering, power front disc and rear drum brakes, factory air conditioning, and a replacement Ford radiator. The underhood courtesy light still works and the buck tag is still on the radiator support. The peppy 4-cylinder is mated up to a Borg-Warner T-5 5-speed manual overdrive transmission that sends power to the rear via a Traction Lok limited-slip rear differential with 3.45:1 gears. This Thunderbird was factory-equipped with a high altitude emission system, which makes sense as it was originally sold by O'Meara Ford in Northglenn Colorado (5,300 ft above sea level). Open the drivers door and step back in time to a Ford showroom in 1984! The Canyon Red cloth interior is in nearly pristine condition and it's completely stock. Both the underdash and overhead courtesy lights pop right on when the door opens. The door panels are composed of red padded vinyl and carpet and they have power locks. The front bucket and rear bench seats are dressed in red cloth fabric and they are in like-new condition. The driver's seat offers 6-way power adjustability while the passengers seat is manually operated. Between the front buckets is a black center console with an armrest/storage box that contains a courtesy light, a button to pop the gas fill door, and a cassette tape from Ford that promotes the audio system with various musical genres. Also on the console are controls for the power drivers seat, power side mirrors, and power windows as well as a shifter with a stitched knob for the manual transmission. Ahead of the driver is a two-spoke leather-wrapped black steering wheel with finger-touch cruise controls on a tilt column. A stalk on the column controls the working intermittent wipers. The wheel frames a simplistic gauge cluster with an '80's-style grid pattern background that hosts an 8K tachometer with turbo and overboost lights, a fuel gauge, and an 85mph speedometer. The upper dash is black, while the lower section is padded red vinyl. Under the dash to the drivers right
