Coyote-Swapped 1988 Ford Thunderbird by Adam Delamielleure

Adam Delamielleure's 1988 Ford Thunderbird features a modern Coyote engine swap, replacing the original 5.0L V8 for improved performance while maintaining a clean, almost OEM appearance. This Thunderbird, a final-year Fox-body model, stands out with a well-executed swap and a six-speed manual from a Mustang. The car retains a subtle look with Aodhán DS08 wheels and a Dakota Digital dash, making it a unique blend of classic design and contemporary performance.
