Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe! 1983 would mark the 9th rendition of the Ford Thunderbird. Although it appeared it was a lot smaller than the 8th generation that was not the point. It was all about the concept that Ford was striving for; aerodynamics. The Thunderbird would be a success but not quite overnight. Not until 1987 did the model get to what you see here due to cosmetic refresh and is highly sought after due to a inclusion of an intercooler that boosted the horsepower dramatically over the previous model. The turbo coupe would be Ford's top of the line model with its revolutionary turbocharged SOHC 2300 inline 4. Race proven by the now legendary Merkur rally car this engine is very sought after in today's market. This '87 model is in a rarely seen Dark Shadow Blue. Paint looks great, the metallic in the paint really sets it off. The blue cloth interior is in great shape and very comfortable. All this is understandable with only having 41k miles elapsed on the odometer! Under the hood is the famous 2.3L Turbo mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that shifts so smooth. Really a pleasure to drive. It should be stated there is a reason this car won Motor Trend's Car of the Year in 1987, very high honor! This car was actually purchased by the current owner from one of our other locations a few years ago. The title is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now! Now is your chance to own a highly sought and award-winning car that is in great shape with very low mileage!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
