There’s no word on functionality, but well preserved cosmetics may bode well for the rest of the car. These cars were seen as very modern for the times, at least by contemporary Ford standards, and equipment includes dual power seats with adjustable knee, bolster and lumbar support, power windows, locks, a sun roof, cruise control, tilt column and other luxuries. Trim looks complete, sheet metal straight and paint finish looks to remain in good shape as well. Note the deck lid spoiler, exhaust tip and OEM wheels. These have mostly disappeared, but were pretty popular when new–this one’s bodykit isn’t like any we’ve seen before, and excluding the weird asymmetrical grille it actually works here pretty well. The non-intercooled Lima 2.3 made around 15 HP more than even the next-highest trim V8, and Ford employed Jackie Stewart to demonstrate that chassis enhancements meant the Turbo Coupe could handle as well. The interior is loaded with “nearly all the options,” and the 155 HP turbocharged 2.3 liter four feels “surprisingly powerful.” Find it here at Memory L ane Classics in Portland, Oregon for $6,950. The car displays ~68k claimed-original miles, wears a very 1980’s bodykit and overall displays what looks like excellent condition inside and out. This 1985 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is claimed to have always been garaged and pampered.
