sooo my dad lent me his thunderbird last summer, and its been down here all summer, im not complaining because i actually love the car, and with the gas prices being high and it does have the 3.8 v6...........i think im going to take it, all i need to do is get it registered here in the states which shouldnt be a problem because it was made in the states

well let me start out here, its all stock it is a 1990, no rust that i can see, some rust on the wheels(dayton type wheels with a bunch of "wire spokes") almost new tires, it is a great summer car, sony xplod mp3 cd player, pioneer 4x6? speakers with 6x9's in the rear, need a new amp to listen to the radio tho............ and its on 215x75x15 i do believe

i need to bring it about 2 hours north to the canadian border to get the OK from the boarder patrol for it to be transfered to the states

will post some pics when i get a chance and find my camera


heres and older one with out the current wheels



and heres one with the blazer

 

nice, i really like the wheels. I had one pretty similar to that bird in high school. I regret the day that i sold it. I loved that car.

 

I'm personally not a fan of the wire wheel look but seems like a nice deal free things are always nice.

 

well it doesnt look that bad, i didnt like it at first but then it grew on me, it is a nice car, not the fastest but its actually good on gas

 

Think gas is expensive there? Its $1.15 a litre here... There is 4.4 litres in a gallon... So my gas is about 5 bucks a gallon here... And I can see the damned Petrocan refinery from my house... Sheesh...

 

yeah i know how much gas is in canada and its pretty bad

 

Do you mean an Imperial gallon? The gallons we use in the United States are 3.8 litres. Still, at $1.15CAD/litre that would convert to about $4.50USD/gallon which is quite a bit more than we're paying.

 

Hmmmm... Didnt really know that. Ive grown up measuring in MM and CM, and weight in KG... It always bugged me when my dad would ask tell me to move something another 2 inches... I was thinking a gallon is like the motor oil jugs I buy, they are a "gallon" or 4.4 litres... Thats where I got the conversion from.

About the bird though, they used to have TBird Supercoupes that were faster than the 5.0 ones. They had a 3.8 supercharged I beleive. I like the spokey wheels too! Yo need to find a set of them tri-spinner blades for the center! Them Tbirds got a nice big truck for fitting some boom into.

 

try living in canada and watching all the oil go from here in Alberta to the states and then the more expensive gas comes back from the states...

 

yeah the supercoupes have a superchargers in them

i was talking to a guy who had a supercoupe supercharged of course, with a 6 speed tranny for sale..yes 6 speed not a 5....he only wanted like 900 for it, all good parts, needed steering linkage a steering coloum and a dash
