The Ford Thunderbird is a rear wheel drive automobile which was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through 2005. The Thunderbird created a market niche that eventually became known as the personal luxury car. Reflecting a further industry-wide adoption of smaller vehicle designs in the interest of improved fuel efficiency and emissions compliance the Thunderbird was redesigned for 1980 on the compact Ford Fox platform which first appeared only two ...years prior as the basis for the Ford Fairmont. The squarish styling seen in the previous generation Thunderbird was favored for the new model but the small car platform resulted in a poor translation with a distinctly upright appearance. Frameless door glass was no longer used; a chrome metal frame was used making this car more like a two-door sedan. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1981 Ford Thunderbird for consideration. This Bird has just over 46000 miles on the odometer and is in good condition overall with only minor blemishes mainly referring to the older paint. The interior is finished in red similar to the exterior and is in excellent shape we have not noted any major scratches rips or damage to the interior. The power plant in this vehicle is a 302 cubic inch V8 motor and runs alongside with a 4 speed automatic transmission with both function as they should. The current owner has added a few modifications to the vehicle; 4 barrel carburetor headers dual exhaust system new radiator aftermarket temperature gauge newer front brakes newer front struts and a set of caster camber plates.
