I use Amsoil in all my vehicles......recent oil changed to high mileage Amsoil synthetic oil and high mileage Amsoil filter (doesnt need changing for 24K miles, google Amsoil for more info) the highest quality and best synthetic oil on the market, specially ordered from Amsoil.HISTORY:This clear title, turn-key T-Bird was manufactured in Windsor, Canada and purchased by Will Murray a car collector of over 25 vehicles in Spokane, WA. The T-Bird was kept in a climate controlled warehouse and meticulously maintained and used as a daily driver. He later transitioned to driving the T-Bird only to car shows local to the Washington area. Before I purchased I asked the owner, Will Murray, to send me a brief history of the car, this is the info he emailed me: "This Thunderbird was built in Canada and sold to a woman near Calgary, Alberta in 1988. It was her car. They had a luxury home on the Spokane River outlet from Coeur d'Alene Lake, above the Post Falls dam. (The river is backed up here to provide boat access to Lake Coeur d'Alene. I found the Thunderbord on Auto trader classics when it was advertised as a "rare thunderbird Sport model with 5.0 V8 and extremely low mileage." I followed up to take a look at the car. It was in their garage with a cover on it. I test drove it, it performed great and drove it to Spokane the same day." The car is beautiful inside and out, with approximately 40,000 miles since new, (60,000 km), It looks and drives out like a nearly new car. I have had the car to several car shows. One of which it took first place for the Thundrbird division. At age 75, I have decided to reduce my car collection and get out of my warehouse lease next year." All guages, odometers and lights function. This T-Bird drives very smooth with an air suspension type feel, smooth yet powerful acceleration with great handling. A blast from the past this multiple show winning T-Bird is a piece of Ford and NASCAR racing history (google search: 1988 thunderbird racing) and truly holds its own as a respectable classic and daily driver, the best of both worlds! Almost impossible to find a 1988 Ford T-Bird Sports Coupe with low miles in this condition! My goal is to provide as much information as I can about the car. I have sold several top-notch classics on ebay and the caliber and quality of this classic holds its own and sure to make another very satisfied buyer!
