    Hello everyone! I have a 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX and I love the car but am not a huge fan of the stock rims especially considering they aren’t chrome. I know we have a weird bolt spacing size and was wondering if: 1) anyone had a set of wheels for sale that fit the stock spacing size or 2)...

  4. Super Coupe
    Howdy folks i was wondering if the 95 SC would be a good trade coming from a new 5 series I love the MN12s and I had a 97 V8 and miss it dearly. This seller has a back 95 and I was curious are these cars prone to HG problems? And how reliable are they as I plan on this being a project daily thanks!

    Hello. I recently purchased my first Thunderbird. This is a 1996 with the 4.6. It has been neglected for a few years. After fixing the brake light switch (and a few other essentials) I have it back on the road. I think it is a pretty cool ride.

Hello there, my ole 89 thunderbird with the NA 3.8 has an issue where whenever the light fuse is in the running lights on the corners of the vehicles are stuck on. I think i narrowed it down to a bad dimmer switch...

  9. Engine - 4.6L & 5.4L
    Just got a 97 Thunderbird LX from my boyfriends brother. He’s currently in the military so the car was sitting for quite some time. Their dad charged the battery a couple times and let it run throughout the years. We decided to just take it into our hands. We replaced all the spark plugs, all...

Any info...

    I have a limited slip diff in my Thunderbird, but the other day i was sliding and when i had spun around and slowed a lot suddenly it started 1 wheel peeling. I let off the gas and my limited slip diff came back but why did it cut out for that second? Is that how these are built or are the...

    I have a 1996 Thunderbird with a v8. Between 2-3 and 3-4 when i ease off the throttle during a shift the whole car shutters for a second, as if its going over a sudden bumpy road.

    I'm in the possession of an 89 Thunderbird with the 3.8, and it has no brake lights or power going to the brake lights when the pedal is pushed. I also believe it has a bad dimmer switch as when the light fuse is in the corner lights stay on, but while trying to make sense of the wiring, and...
