The Turbo Coupe is said to be one of 500 special Mach 1 Editions of this run of Turbo Coupes. The combination worked pretty well to produce a quarter-mile time of 16.5 seconds at 85MPH, which was pretty impressive considering the Turbo's displacement and boost.Sitting in a garage lies this 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a 5 speed manual transmission and a reported 42,000 miles. Through a single transmission option, the engine distributed this power to the Traction-Lok axle. The 1985 Turbo Coupe had its engine output rating increased to 155 horsepower, which is around 116KW. There was also an exciting feature that allowed the drivers to choose the type of fuel they wanted to use: either "regular" or "premium." The V6 and V8 engines were also smoother and more refined. A three-speed automatic transmission was added as an option. In 1984 there were a few changes in the specifications. A standard five-speed manual transmission supplied the power to the wheels. It had a four-cylinder, turbocharged power plant with two valves per cylinder and a displacement of 2.3 liters. The 1983 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe was a rear-wheel vehicle with a motor located at the front and a two-door coupe bodyshell. The Turbo Coupe's final year was 1988, which only had minor changes in its design as the last significant changes were in the 1987 model.

The 1987 Thunderbird Coupe got a makeover that gave it a sleeker design that stood out by getting rid of the boxy headlamps and squares that most people were used to. Some minor design changes occurred in 1986 as we saw the FILA model's deletion and the addition of a center high mount stop lamp. The introduction of the distinctive blue paint and stripes happened in 1985, and the tail lamps and grille were all revised. The modified headlamps and dual electric remote controlled mirrors were also features that made it unique. One of the 1984 Thunderbird Coupe's outstanding features was a leather-wrapped steering wheel with optional fingertip speed control. In 1984, as mentioned above, a FILA model was introduced, which included a unique interior, unique paint, and new wheel choices.
