My 85 T-bird. no Thunderbird forums out there worth while, but from what I can tell its super close to a fox, at least under the hood and suspension wise... or I could be way off lol. would it be accepable to call it home here?

Welcome! You can call it home just dont sleep on the couch cause the dog pees there and has some skin issues. Also ignore the strange man sleeping on the floor, his name is Strype and he will get up soon to upright his trash can.

Hell, we even have a mod here that owns a Cougar and no Stang.... hes Canadian though and they just aint right.

On a purely informational note, yes your thunderbird is a fox and nearly every mechanical mod you can do to a mustang you can also do to your bird. There are a couple bird owners on here already.

There are also plenty of characters, so not only do you get good car information you also get your daily dose of entertainment!

Reminds me of my first car, an 86 Cougar. But it had a head gasket popper 3.8, I didn't have it long.

Nice car.Almost anything you can do to a Stang with suspension and drive train you can do to the Bird.I have used quite a few Stang parts to build the Sport I'm driving.
