1983-86 Bird. One of the few Fox cars left that hasn’t been beat to death.

Yes. There’s been one in my family for decades. My grandpa had it, then my dad had it for a couple years, and my uncle has owned it since. It’s slow and brown.

It’s a dog. A Thunderbird, to be exact.
The bottom one is a dog also, but not a car.

don’t knock it; it can take plenty of Fox Mustang parts if you want to build a sleeper.

While admitting that as an enthusiast car, the consumer models certainly leave a mile wide gap in things to be desired, I don’t get the hate for this generation of Thunderbird. It represented at least an attempt at getting back to the original intent of the model (rather than the bloated albatrosses that preceded it). As well, Bill Elliot got one of these sumbiches up to 212 miles per hour, a record that still stands (admittedly only because of the ‘holy ****, that’s nuts, we need to slow down’ efforts since then).
Do I lust over one and long to drive one? No, but outside of the Grand National, there aren’t many american cars that I do from the ‘80's, but at least with this one, I can appreciate it for what it was in it’s era, and what it was to that particular nameplate.

I liked those - never thought the next gen looked as good, (and certainly didn’t have as much interior room.) And Awesome Bill from Dawsonville drove one.
