Its sleek aero design helped set the direction for Ford&#8217;s styling in the 1980s, and the 1987 model year added an updated nose with flush composite headlamps, revised sheet metal, and flush side glass. On the NASCAR circuit, the Thunderbird became a legend in Bill Elliott&#8217;s hands, including his record-setting qualifying run at Talladega in 1987. This example pairs the proven 302 V8 with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, making it a sharp classic cruiser, an easygoing weekend driver, or a rewarding foundation for your next project.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Engine &amp; Transmission<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">302 ci (5.0L) V8<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Automatic transmission<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Rear-wheel drive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Exterior<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Classic tenth-generation Thunderbird styling<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">1987 refreshed front fascia with flush aero headlamps<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Sleek, sporty coupe profile<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Aerodynamic body lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Interior<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Comfortable seating for relaxed cruising<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Driver-focused 1980s cabin design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Suspension &amp; Chassis<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Ford Fox platform<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Modified MacPherson strut front suspension<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Four-link coil-spring rear suspension<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Solid rear axle<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Rack-and-pinion steering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"font-semibold pb-0.5 text-lg leading-[30px] [&amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-[15px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px]\">Additional Info<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list-inside list-disc py-1.5 pl-6 text-sm [&amp;_ol]:py-0 [&amp;_ol]:pl-4 [&amp;_ul]:py-0 [&amp;_ul]:pl-4\">\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">170,000 miles<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Tenth-generation Thunderbird (1983\u20131988)<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Refreshed 1987 model year<\/li>\n<li class=\"[&amp;&gt;p]:inline\">Strong candidate for cruising, weekend driving, or restoration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1987 Ford Thunderbird The 1987 Ford Thunderbird belongs to the tenth generation of a nameplate that has defined American personal luxury since 1955.
