Whether or not that translates to a big money sale at auction, well, that remains to be seen. Well maintained and clearly loved over the past few decades, this 1987 Ford Thunderbird is about as close as one can get to buying a new one, which is certainly not an opportunity that comes along every day. Underneath, a set of power-assisted front disc brakes helps slow the sporty coupe down. Power for this pristine T-Bird comes from the naturally-aspirated Ford 5.0L V8, which was originally rated to produce 155 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, flowing to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The same goes for the gorgeous, flawless interior, which is trimmed in Shadow Blue cloth with six-way power-adjustable front bucket seats, a tilt steering wheel, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power locks, an AM/FM cassette stereo, and an aftermarket Bluetooth adaptor.

Finished in Dark Shadow Blue Clearcoat Metallic with pinstriping and body-side molding, the exterior is in fantastic shape, and it’s still equipped with its original 14-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.

Now, this incredibly clean 1987 Ford Thunderbird has surfaced for sale on Bring a Trailer, and it has a mere 3k original miles showing on the odometer.ĭelivered new to Packey Webb Ford in Wheaton, Illinois, this 1987 Ford Thunderbird wound up spending most of its life in North Carolina before it was acquired by the seller last year, and as such, looks essentially brand new. That list includes, most recently, a 16k-mile 1984 model, a 1990 Super Coupe, and even a 1991 model once owned by NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon. While early, first-generation models tend to get the bulk of attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike, we’re starting to see more and more newer Ford Thunderbird models pop up for auction and sell for solid money.
