88 Thunderbird Sport

July 12, 2005, 11:49:01 PM

Hey everyone. I've been lingering around these boards for over a year and just registered a few weeks ago. I figured it was time to finally post something. I finally found time to take some pics of the new thunderchicken I received couple weeks ago for graduation. It's mostly stock now, but thats slowly going to change. It has about 70,000 miles on it and the body is in fairly good condition. I was surprised to find it in such good condition. There is only minor rust above the trim on the drivers side read quarter panel and the passenger side rear wheel well, and a dent below the trim. But other than those few spots, the body is in great condition.

These are a few pics of the new bird...

This last one is a good pic of the lighted exhaust tips. They are wired to light up with the brake lights. It's just an added effect that most people don't expect.

I have a lot of plans for this car. So far I've only really worked on the stereo, but once that is finished I'll move onto other areas. You can see more pics by going to this page

This is actually my second Thunderbird, my first one was an 88 Coupe with 147,000 miles on it. Too much was going wrong with it, so we had to get rid of it. Eventually I'll put up some pics of the old Thunderbird and tell a little bit about it. That's if I ever have the time or motivation. Until then I'll probably linger around these boards a bit more.

RICE!! RICE!! Okay, the exhaust tips would be OKAY if maybe all the bulbs were lit up, but half are burned out. Put a couple of chrome slashcut tips on there and it'd look awesome. Great car! I'm just not feeling the tips...

I wouldn't quite consider it rice... if it were rice there would be two big fart cannons out the back with a large aluminum wing above it. And all of the leds do light up. It's just since I took the pic during the day and didnt have a straight angle on the tips, a lot of them didnt pick up. I'll have to take a night shot to really show them off, the daylight pic doesnt do them justice.

Thanks again for the comments.

I have a little yellow poking out on my rear bumper also

nice looking sport, I like that color, what color is the interior?

The manual says the exterior is Medium Sandalwood, and interior is Light Sandalwood. So basically it's tan.
