The 1987-88 Thunderbirds received a modest styling facelift, but there was more important news under the Turbo Coupe’s hood.

In that regard this Thunderbird is much like the very first T-Birds of the mid-1950s: an intriguing blend of sporty refinement.

Thunderbirds of this era shared Ford’s Fox platform with the Mustang, and yet the Thunderbird was always positioned as a car that was somehow more than a Mustang-not sportier, not racier, but for a buyer who appreciated performance but wanted amenities at a higher level than the pony car. The original Oxford White paint still gleams, and the original Raven Charcoal upholstery shows little wear. The Turbo Coupe has traveled just 45,000 miles and has been in the care of the same family since new. Vehicle Fitment for EBC 87-88 Ford Thunderbird 2.Coming to Indianapolis as part of the Waterford Collection of choice Ford products, this 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe presents as a nearly new car, despite the more than 30 years that have passed since it came off the assembly line. Dimple drilling avoids stress cracks with Thermic black finish with a sleek look whilst preventing corrosion. Specifications for EBC 87-88 Ford Thunderbird 2.3 Turbo Coupe GD Sport Front Rotors PositionĮBC’s GD sport rotors features wide aperture slots for cooling to reduce temperatures preventing brake fade. When we do buy rotors in, they are specified, sampled, tested for element analysis, grain structure, tensile strength, hardness and optimum ductility and tested 100 piece by piece to be perfect for runout on this in house machine. None of our competitors will ever tell you where their rotors come from and we at EBC are as disappointed as the rest of the world that cost pressure means there is not ONE foundry left in the USA to supply such parts, other brake brands when asked about origin will just sidestep the question. Currently EVERY SINGLE ROTOR sold in Europe and the UK is BRITISH MADE and a majority of the designs specific to the USA are also BRITISH made.The British foundry is constantly expanding its in house tooled range but EBC like every brake manufacturer ….does need occasionally to buy some rotors in from approved sources to complete ranges in overseas markets. All EBC rotors are made from OE spec grey cast iron, exactly as used on new car production and as many as we have tools for are BRITISH MADE wholly in our own UK foundry.
