1987 Ford Thunderbird unTurbo coupe

[crazyjim]

Finished this '87 TBird unTurbo coupe yesterday.  Unturbo because the little 4 cyl turbo engine was replaced with a 427 cammer engine.  Tru-Color candy apple red paint was used.

Great looking build. Would be fun at a stop light.

Thanks Terry.  Stop lights could be fun.  The body looks like a stock turbo coupe minus the badging. But wait until you step on the gas.

Nice one Jim !  A cammer in a '87 T-Bird would be a handful! 

[crazyjim]

Thanks Bob. Engine fit right in.

Very nice Jim !  I like how you seem to build a little bit of everything.

Thanks Ray.  I need to do a street rod in the near future.

Remember when Monogram announced this one, I pre-ordered as soon as I saw the pic in the catalog, but was suprised when my dealer handed over me the actual kit....

Did it have a 427 cammer, Luc?

My sister has an 88 Thunderbird Sport with a 5.0 Liter engine, I bought the Turbo kit to do the car. She still has it, and it does not look too bad.

dunno what"s in the kit, not much of an engine expert

The kit I had came with a 4 cyl turbo engine.
