  Ford Thunderbird History
The only changes in the 1984 Thunderbird were the addition of the FILA and Elan models to complement the Turbo coupe and the standard models.
The Thunderbird Turbo coupe was still the top of the line and was putting out an awesome 190 horsepower when outfitted with the five-speed manual transmission and 150 horsepower when outfitted with an automatic.
As Ford was pulling the Thunderbird from the showroom floor, there were murmurings that they were planning to continue the line with a completely new version for the new millennium.

 cars - Ford Thunderbird
Sales of the Thunderbird were hit badly by the advent of the much cheaper Ford Mustang in 1964, and the response was to hasten this trend towards luxury.
From the 1967 model year, Thunderbirds were much larger, and some fans of the classic Thunderbird consider 1966 to be the last year of interest.
For the 1977 through 1979 model years, the Thunderbird nameplate was shifted to the smaller chassis that had underpinned the discontinued Ford Torino, as Ford's first effort at downsizing the car.

 Sam's Fox ThunderCats
Ford has thrown out the dismal, carbureted, "draw-through" turbo engine of yore, replacing it with a fierce little unit based on the same 140-cubic-inch block, but now fitted with full electronic port-type fuel injection.
The outright acceleration of the Turbo is barely behind that of the big-block V8 family sedans of the sixties and early seventies, the Impalas and Bonnevilles and Galaxies that came with detuned monster motors and grunted out zero-to-sixties in the mid eights.
But overall, the Turbo is so easy to drive that many owners of so-called superior machinery will undoubtedly go home grumbling and wishing that discretion had been the better part of their valor, because their valor has been ground into dust.

 Ford Pinto engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Ford sales literature it was referred to as the EAO or OHC engine, it is also sometimes called the Metric engine since it was designed using the metric system.
It was used in many European Ford cars and was exported to the United States to be used in the Ford Pinto, a successful compact car of the 1970s, hence the name which is used most often for the unit.
The 16-valve version of the Ford DOHC unit is still used on the Ford Transit.

 Ford Thunderbird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1980–1982 Thunderbirds offered vacuum operated flip-up headlights, and were the only Fox-body cars to have them.
Power was somewhat scarce due to the new emissions control laws coming into effect in the late 1970s, resulting in the biggest engine, the 5.0L V8, making only 130 horsepower.
However, 2002 saw a new Thunderbird launched; this Retro Bird was again a two-seater and received the model's fourth Motor Trend Car of the Year honor.
