MPORTANT: This 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe NO LONGER HAS ITS ORIGINAL TURBO ENGINE. It has been converted to a 460ci Ford V8 and is now a purpose-built, street-legal drag car.This 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe has been transformed from its original turbocharged setup into a serious street-and-strip machine powered by a built 460ci Ford V8. With extensive engine work, a rebuilt C6 automatic transmission, and a spooled Ford 9-inch rear end, this Thunderbird is built with one thing in mind going fast.The 460ci V8 features a block bored .030 over, cast crank cut 10/10, forged pistons, Eagle H-Beam steel rods, Manley high-volume oil pump, oversized Teflon-tipped valves, ARP fasteners throughout, Ford Cobra Jet aluminum heads, double valve springs, and more. Fuel and airflow are handled by a Holley 4500 Dominator carburetor, completing a serious big-block combination designed for the strip.The drivetrain is backed by a rebuilt Ford C6 automatic transmission and a spooled Ford 9-inch rear end, giving this Thunderbird the heavy-duty drivetrain components needed to put the power to the pavement. A roll cage adds additional safety and reinforces the purpose-built nature of this car.Despite its strip-focused setup, this Thunderbird remains street legal, giving you the opportunity to drive it to the track rather than trailer it.Features include:460ci Ford V8 NOT Original Turbo EngineBlock Bored .030 OverCast Crank Cut 10/10Forged PistonsEagle H-Beam Steel RodsManley High-Volume Oil PumpOversized Teflon-Tipped ValvesARP Bolts ThroughoutFord Cobra Jet Aluminum HeadsDouble Valve SpringsHolley 4500 Dominator CarburetorRebuilt Ford C6 Automatic TransmissionSpooled Ford 9-Inch Rear EndRoll CageStreet LegalPower WindowsPower SunroofPower MirrorsA unique and seriously built Thunderbird that's a long way from stock.

Great car buying experience, no sugar coating, just upfront info and your decision. My first impression of Logan was that he was stoked and a normal person who loves cars. He was great at texting response and is normal to talk to. While I was doing business with Milad, he and my son were off geeking out on the car in the corner.
(I emphasize this because of what an amazing contrast this is to the dbags over at MBMotors and Autohaus, who literally told me how expensive the car was like I couldn’t afford it, think pretty woman, and new absolutely nothing about cars or the ones they were selling.)
Imports and Classics is savvy and good people who I felt I was rewarding for good service not just taking my money. Milad was able to make deal happen when we hit a roadblock and I am so grateful! This car is a dream car that my son and I never thought we could get. It is so special, in fact, that a local car photographer got wind and wanted to get some photos a day after we got it, lol, enjoy the attached shots.

I can't thank Imports & Classics enough for the great service! My first car purchased out of state and Milad always responded giving my updates and photos through the entire process. Received the car with no delays and I've been driving it ever since!! I will definitely go through Imports & Classics again in the furture!

When I was in elementary school, the moment I saw this car. It instantly became a life Goal. Fast forward many many years later. The time came. And Carlos was nothing short of awesome on the transaction. I picked up a Lamborghini Gallardo from him. Since this was the 1st time ever buying a vehicle like this, and being a whole way across the country. Carlos was completely transparent, patient, understanding, helpful and did everything in his power to make this a painless stress free transaction. I am very grateful to have been able to work with the kind of person Carlos is. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough!"
