Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Looking for a little bit of advice,,,,,,,, I bought a 86 Turbo coupe brand new, ton of sentamental value, so I couldent part with it. Its been settin a while in my garage now .... 10 years worth ,,,,, and I suddenly got a wild hair to fix her up just a touch........new carpet, re do the seats. new coat of dark canyon red paint and so on. What i would like to do is make a sleeper, keep it stock on the outside and give her some beef under the hood. It has a 2.3 and I considerd a large v8 but i keep hearing that the 2.3 can be made into a little monster for about the same price . so my question is.has anyone ever done this, what would you advise......and whats the best starting point, Thanks in advance

Tim
