Interior

I got the car from an individual in Illinois. I was looking for a 97 Limited Edition Sport. I saw this one on Autotrader. Low miles (61,000), right color, lots of equipment, brand new Goodyears, and best of all a great price! I checked with the bank and gave him a call. It was kind of a race, according to the seller someone else was also looking at it. My girlfriend and I raced to St. Louis and met him at 8:30am. I looked the car over, and though it was not quite as slick as originally advertised, (they never are) it was definitely a nice car. Gave the man a cashiers check and drove it home!

The goal for this car is simple. Ive always liked the way Mustangs (in the old days anyway) could be anything from a simple economy car, to a full blown muscle car. T-birds to (in the old days). Lately the Mustang has been getting all the glory, while the T-bird has been forgotten. However what if Ford hadn't forgotten about the Thunderbird? What if they had offered more than just a V-6 or V-8? What if they had offered a Thunderbird GT? I plan to answer that question and build one. It is going to have a high performance yet reliable 4.6L V-8, stiffer springs and sway bars for handling, better brakes for stopping the power, and of course an upgraded interior. Ford made a feeble attempt at beginning this with the "Sport" package. I plan on finishing it.
