The sixth-generation Ford Thunderbird is a large Coupe Hardtop built for quiet, unhurried travel. You get a long cabin and a relaxed ride rather than a tightly sprung sports coupe.

Ford Thunderbird Engines and Transmissions

You will find a large gasoline V8 as the typical Ford Thunderbird engine, sending power through a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. Selected Coupe Hardtop examples include the 7.0 MT with a manual transmission plus the 7.0 AT and 7.5 AT automatics; those pairings illustrate the powertrain range, not every version.
