1995 Ford Thunderbird LX

This is one of the Thunderbirds that Blue Muscle Performance has created. In 2007 we completed a suspension rebuild of this vehicle upgrading and replacing every suspension component for unrivaled performance. In 2009 the stock engine was retired at 205,000 miles.

Other major upgrades included adding a Ford SVO / EATON superchager with methanol injection, 3.73 gears with traction lock, a DirtyDog torque converter and a custom built 2003 Mustang GT transmission.
