I am very happy that I kept the Tbird as I went back to using it as my main transpotation and only used the El Camino for hauling stuff. I kept taking it in for checkups and was told that it was running perfectly. The engine seemed to not have even as much power as my Toyota had, but it used gas like crazy. I then sold the Toyota and began to drive the El Camino as my main transportation. I also had the motor checked out and had all belts, hoses, and fluids changed. I then went through the El Camino and updated the interior, added a body kit, upgraded the suspension, and had it painted. I had a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and a 1985 Toyota SR5 PU. I purchased this vehicle to replace 2 different ones. Rear wheel bearings need to be replaced at 203500. Had to replace master cylinder, rear brake cylinders and power servo at 200200.Ĭatalytic conveter replaced again at 200200. 160000.ĪC compressor went at 167000, had to change whole system for newer style Freon. I saw the receipts.įront and rear brakes complete, new rotors, drums, calipers, drums, pads etc. This motor was a fresh rebuild right be for I purchased the car. So I did a full custom interior with Thunderbird Turbo Coupe seats. Seat and carpets were pretty hammered when I got it. I drive my Super Sport as a daily driver, and it is just too much for it to take without having maintenance done often.Ĭomplete tune up and water pump, all hoses and all belts replaced at 125000 right after I purchased just as a precaution. All El Caminos make great toys if you take good care of them. I have owned a regular El Camino and a Super Sport, and I like the Super Sport better. I also think that they should have had a manual transmission option on the Super Sports. The rear window is so low that a toolbox without sides will break the glass. The low profile of the vehicle makes fitting a large engine in one difficult.Īlso the slanting bed rails make it impossible to put a toolbox in one. The dashes crack in them a lot.įor a while, my engine timing was wrong, and for some reason the shaking was affecting the steering. The doors are so heavy that they sag after just a couple years of everyday use. I took one out in the snow one time, and they spin and slide all over the place. They are fair weather vehicles in my opinion. That is why you have to be careful in turns, they can fishtail on you if you don't know what you're doing. They are so light on the drive wheels, that they lose traction quite easily. The idiot lights in the regular ones can't get close. The Super Sports had a gauge cluster, meaning if something goes wrong, you know it instantly. You have really good visibility in every direction when you are in one. With the right power, they are incredibly fast. The Super Sport I owned, had a Corvette engine put in it. They handle good on dry roads as long as you are steady on the throttle in turns. I loved the first one so much that I got a second one. They are prone to rust behind the rear wheels in snowy areas.Īll other problems were due to errors made by former owners.
