The tenth generation Ford Thunderbird was the last of the original T-birds (the 2002-2005 retro styled reboot is better left forgotten) and shared many components with the Fox mustang, but featured an independent rear suspension and a few other tricks up its sleeve. Today's feature is a rare "Davey Allison Edition" named after a famous and deceased NASCAR racer. Find this 1993 Ford Thundebird 5.0 HO Davey Allison Edition for sale in Easley, SC for $2,000 via craigslist. Tip from Art C.
The Davey Allison edition was a "dealer installed" package and featured strictly cosmetic additions. It included a Davey Allison console placard, embroidered floor mats, pin stripe on doors/quarter panels and signature on trunk. At least all the NASCAR bling on this T-bird doesn't add much to the sticker price.
This Thunderbird is powered by the Ford 5.0 HO V8, and puts out 200 horsepower and 275 ft-lbs of torque into a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Performance is pretty poor because the tenth generation T-bird was a serious heffer...but at least it is rear-wheel-drive and the 5.0 is very tunable.
