Just when you thought nearly everyone had well and truly forgotten about your Cazal and Adidas Superstar wearing days comes this 1984 Ford Thunderbird FILA Edition from a junkyard long ago. The FILA and ELAN Thunderbird editions were offered as part of the top of the line 1984 FoMoCo fleet, and were the only new additions to the Ford Thunderbird lineup in that same model year. This one appeared to have a 5.0L V-8 along with a bonanza of luxury features, including but not limited to an AM/FM cassette player with a PREMIUM SOUND toggle – for those times when you did not feel like premium sound. Dig out that RUN DMC cassette, clean up the capstan roller with a little rubbing alcohol, and revel in the previously unavailable exclusive luxury. The Ford Thunderbird FILA fulfills your driving ambitions. Editor’s note: this post was originally published on Junkyard Chronicle back in 2006. The car and/or parts in these images are probably long gone.
