it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car and here's this week's winner, hello everybody I hope you're having a
great Sunday with a fantastic weekend, what I
got for you today is a 1988 Ford Thunderbird with a sport trim level, it
is equipped with a 5.0 liter windsor v8 with a four-speed automatic transmission
and has been kicking it ever since she got out of the factory in Lorain Ohio, for 30
years she has been an outside vehicle and has only had one owner other than us,
being a Colorado car this car is surprisingly known to have no rest in
any part of the vehicle, even though this car has been driven through the snow
year after year, day after day, overall I like to say this vehicle is really
good on the road and for 30 years this car is still kicking like it's been 10
years, let's start off the show with a glimpse of the American muscle car
to start off history wise, this car was bought by my parents for my oldest brother back
in the day and it only had one owner with a total of 84,000 miles on it, over
the years my brother drove it until he got another car and my parents handed
it down to my middle brother when he started to drive, the car was a beater and
you knew it was a beater when your parents let the kids drive it around
as their first car but my middle brother hated it and quickly got into a
different vehicle.
it sat around for a couple years around two to three years
until I was able to drive and then that became my first car.
when I got it it was in a falling apart stage.
it was really bad the paint was peeling there was a
dent from an accident the previous owners experienced in the right rear
quarter panel, the suspension was worn it was just not in a good state, after
driving it though I started getting into cars and wondering how they worked
so after a year and a lot of learning, I was able to fix it up into a shape that
was an eye catcher to some, for Christmas of I think it was 2016 we got a
painted to midnight blue and then a couple months later it got rear-ended
the rear end portion caused me to actually look into other cars because
when I got rear-ended the guy was going 35 miles per hour and to me since I
didn't really know how they work on cars at the time, I thought it was a goner, I
thought it was just gonna be totaled and I was game over, so after a lot of work
negotiating with the insurance company we finally had the funds to repair it, to
repair it, no one was making quarter panels for it and if they were they were a
really hefty cost, so we scavenged salvage
yards and we finally found 87 Thunderbird but the 87 and 88 had the
same style quarter panel, so we literally cut off the old quarter panel of this 87
in the junkyard with the saza and everyone was giving us looks it was
really loud, we were the loudest people in the junkyard
or in the salvage yard, we got it off but everyone was looking at us making funny
faces and some people actually took footage of us which was pretty
interesting, but after all that took place we got the car back to its
rightful look the sound this engine makes from this
Thunderbird is just amazing like it really sounds like a dark like murmuring
sound, like if you hear this down the road or gonna be like oh god, oh no what
is that you think it's gonna be a bear and you see it and it's just a car and you're
like oh uh okay nevermind, the five liter EFI it
comes with the horsepower of a hundred and fifty-five with 265 foot-pounds of
torque, it is a pretty good horsepower but I think it trades some of that
horsepower for durability and reliability, somehow this car always starts for me
and always wants to drive and it really is a solid engine
now for the interior and all the power accessories it comes with power seats or
one part seat the passenger side seat is manual, and it comes with power windows
power locks you know all the standard powered brakes, powered mirrors and
powered steering, this system centering module is another piece of equipment on
the Thunderbird that really is a nice feature because it will let you know if
you need to replace bulbs or fill up on any fluids as well as floor shifter
that's right next to it that will allow you to look cooler hands down
I want to thank Scotty for showcasing the Thunderbird and I hope all of you
watching have a great rest of your day and a great week,
