1992 Ford Thunderbird problems
The Ford Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor Company from model years 1955 to 2005 (with a 1997–2002 hiatus), across 11 generations. Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was offered variously as a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible.
Ford targeted the two-seat Thunderbird as an upscale model, but the 1958 model year design introduced a rear seat and arguably marked the expansion of a market segment eventually known as personal luxury cars, positioned to emphasize comfort and convenience over handling and high-speed performance.
Overview
The Thunderbird entered production for the 1955 model year as a sporty two-seat convertible. Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and it is credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car. For 1958, the Thunderbird was redesigned with a second row of seats. Succeeding generations became larger until the line was downsized in 1977, again in 1980, and once again in 1983. Sales were good until the 1990s when large two-door coupes became unpopular. Thunderbird production ended in 1997, then briefly resumed as a two-passenger, marketed from 2002 to 2005.
From its introduction in 1955 to its final phaseout in 2005, Ford produced over 4.4 million Thunderbirds.

It's my second car and I love it!

Hi there! I bought the car back in May of '97 and it's been a great ride. Sure, it's been in the shop a few times for body damage, but overall it's been a reliable car. I have had some exhaust problems, though.

The Thunderbird SuperCoupe was such a cool car! It's a shame they didn't keep making them. It's definitely the most fun car I've ever driven!

It sounds like you've had some trouble with blown head gaskets in the past, which can be frustrating. However, with some mechanical know-how, this car can still be a decent option for owners. It's important to keep an eye on the engine and make any necessary repairs to ensure it runs smoothly.
Axel Jerde 2024-03-29
The car has had a number of issues, including transmission failure, antifreeze leakage into the engine and exhaust, a broken catalytic converter causing a loud buzzing noise, burnt blinker lights, and a deteriorating interior with a decomposing ceiling, broken door handle, and malfunctioning power windows. The exterior also has paint damage on the roof. Despite these issues, I am confident in my ability to handle them and find a solution.
Eusebio Feil 2024-01-25
I can totally relate to your experience of driving this car, especially since I tend to drive quickly due to my poor punctuality. Unfortunately, this car can be quite expensive to maintain, which is a common issue with older Ford vehicles. Additionally, the gas mileage is not great, and the car can only hold about 26-30 gallons. However, I must say that the handling on this vehicle is still incredibly smooth, even after 12+ years of use. It's so easy to corner and switch lanes, even at highway speeds. Despite not having leather seats, the car is still very comfortable, making it a great option for longer road trips. Although, I can understand your concern about potentially losing parts while driving.
