As of midnight the half of my life Ive spent on FWD mopars will be at an end. I am the proud new owner of a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, the color is incidentally the reverse of our challenge car (red/gray) and this means that between Brian and I we own/have owned exactly 1/2 of the 11th gen 'birds in York county.
I recall saying everybody with a fox chassis car was wrong and did naughty things to their cousins, perhaps I go to the family reunion this year 
Pics tomorrow

I'm always glad to see another T-Bird in enthusiast hands. What are your plans for the car?

I'd like to relate my only TC experience, with apologies to my father, who doesn't often read this board. We (he, I was 15) test drove one in the late 80's from a local dealer. Doing a three-point turn to head back to the dealer, he dropped a wheel into the ditch. The car then proceeded to slowly slide down the embankment, and get hopelessly stuck, to the point where a tow truck needed to extract the car.
I'm sure he would have bought it if he hadn't been so embarrassed. The dealership was gracious, and related that they had who took an extended test drive in an F150. The customer took the truck ice-fishing and it went through the ice. He returned the truck, said he loved it, and would buy one, but not that one :)

I have 4 T-Birds. At one point I had 5. I won't be casting the first stone here.

I think having too many is why I don't like them, well at least the engines...
