Description
1988 FORD THUNDERBIRD COUPÉ – History: Introduced for the 1988 model year, this Ford Thunderbird belongs to the tenth generation of the famous American coupé launched in 1955. True to the model’s philosophy, it prioritises comfort, long journeys and a generous range of features, whilst retaining the elegant styling characteristic of Ford’s late 1980s models. This particular car is fitted with a 2,300 cm³ 4-cylinder engine producing 140 ch, paired with an automatic gearbox. Originally delivered in the United States, it was imported into Belgium, where it was granted individual type approval in 1996 Description: The car on offer is a 1988 Ford Thunderbird of American origin, retaining its original registration documents as well as its American Certificate of Title. This Ford Thunderbird is in its original condition and presents an interesting restoration project. The bodywork appears complete and retains all its specific components. The grey paintwork is old and shows significant dust build-up as well as the usual signs of prolonged storage. The windows are present, although the windscreen is cracked across the centre. There is perforating corrosion on the inside of the front right wing. The interior appears complete with its original fabric seats, multifunction steering wheel, instrument panel, centre console, electric controls and all its main fittings. The interior is heavily covered in dust as a result of a long period of storage. The driver’s door panel shows wear around the door handle and partial peeling of the trim. Thorough cleaning and cosmetic restoration will be required. The engine compartment appears complete and seems to have retained its original configuration. It is fitted with a Ford 2.3-litre 4-cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection, topped by its specific intake system. The vehicle is heavily covered in dust following a long period of storage, with traces of surface oxidation on several metal parts and components. The vehicle comes with a set of documents including, in particular, the Belgian registration certificate, the original Texas Certificate of Title, the Belgian type-approval certificate, and an old roadworthiness test certificate, confirming its administrative history. The lot constitutes an authentic, complete and well-documented basis for restoration.
