'94 Tbird LX: One of my faves

1994 Ford Thunderbird LX 2dr Coupe
Bought the car from it's original elderly owners in 2004 with only 24k original miles for $2k. Actually had the original though spider cracked tires. Drove it for years as my main commute and get around vehicle for myself. 19-20 mpg in town and have seen 29 on the highway during long road trips to visit family. Extremely comfy to ride in for long periods, quiet on the highway with … windows up and just an overall best buy I ever made. Major issues encountered has been the ball joints and idle arm bushings. Both the left and right front ball joints have broken on me while in a sharp turn in and exiting a parking lot requiring tows to a shop.
THE MOST AMAZING CAR<(^,,^)>

1994 Ford Thunderbird LX 2dr Coupe
I love my 94 thunderbird lx with its 4.6l V8 engine. I got it when i was a senior in high school. I love to drive it everywhere i go. The only trouble i have had out of it was the transmission cause the owner before me didn't take care of it. I got it replaced for $500. I still driving it everywhere. It ran great from Tulsa OK to Madisonville TN great i had no problems with it over the … 800 mile trip. I have people always wanting to race me. But i love it all together.
Got me a TBird!

1994 Ford Thunderbird LX 2dr Coupe
I decided I wanted a Thunderbird. I couldn't afford a vintage one or the newer retro style, so I settled on the 90's models. So far, I love it. I have to get used to the seats, and I am working on some neglected maintenance items. Overall it is great!

1994 Ford Thunderbird LX 2dr Coupe
I have had my Ford Thunderbird for about 4 years. I got it from its first owner. My mile counter broke about 3 years ago. It had 175,000 on it when it broke. Since then I have driven it back and forth from Texas to Florida 4 times and recently just drove it from Texas to Virginia. It is the most dependable car I have ever had! I have had a couple of small problems but it is worth the … money that i put into it. I have gotten well worth my money out of it with how many places this car had taken me.
