Description of 1983 Ford Thunderbird

perfect project car! I just don't have the time or extra money for another project. RUNS GREAT. I haven't owned this car for that long but here is what I know about it. its runs great. is very fast. tons of power. brand new stinger performance 3" exhaust. header. downpipe. dynomax muffler. all the way back. ( the tailpipe is not on the car. but is brand new and comes with the car. ) brand new turbo. front mount intercooler . xternal wastegate. blow off valve. gillis boost controller. nbsp;the clutch is starting to slip when you get into it a little. it will need to be replaced at some point in the near future. short throw shifter. it appears that this car may have been hit on the passengers side at one point. or had damage there from something. the rear passengers side looks like someone tried to repair it at some point in its life . they didn't do the best job. the car used to be green. and is now primed. and needs paint. it has an electric fan that has not yet been hooked up correctly. at this time it is just hardwired to the battery with a switch inside the car to turn it on. there is also a switch inside the car that turns on the alternator when the car is running and must be shut off when the car isn't running or the battery goes dead. I am not sure why it needs this switch. it was in the car when I got it. along with the damage to the body on the passengers side the front tire on that side seems so be back further than where it belongs. and will rub on the wheel well when turned hard. or you hit a bump. another reason I think it may have been involved in some sort of accident at some point. no radio. small crack in the dash. crack in the windshield. the normal problems with a car this old such as the armrests on the doors being loose. have been repaired in the past). the seats are in pretty good shape. the only real damage to the seats is the drivers side edge where the seatbelt rubs on it. minor rot on the trunk lid bottom edge. the front bottom body kit. under the bumper has a couple cracks in it. and something is wrong with the steering column. it will tilt if you pull down on the wheel. without moving the lever to tilt the wheel. possibly just warn out? I haven't looked at it. like I said this is a project car! although it could be driven. I drove it all last summer. its a fun car that turns a lot of heads but it does need a lot of work!! its lowered and has 16" rims. tires are no good. a lot of traction left but they are old/ dry-rotted. I believe I have accurately listed all the known problems with this car. if I think of anything else I will update my listing. but again. I have not owned the car that long. and do not know its complete history. I just don't have the time and money to play with it like I would like to. please ask any questions you might have. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability with what little knowledge I have about this car.
