Re: thunder bird
 

What? Nobody has any thoughts. this is a rare car with 722 being built in 94.if it were a 95 less than 600 were built. it is a challenge to get parts for these cars. i was just wanting to know if anybody knew what it is, i guess nobody does.

Hi 722 and welcome to the site. Is that the turbo 4 cylinder ?

There is a senior citizen at our local cruise who is an original owner of a Thunderbird SC. She is fanatical about keeping it clean!

Re: thunder bird
 

I new this guy back when he bought his new and he had all kinds of problems with it. He also told me it wasn't 'ALL THAT' about the car.

Hi charley, no it is not the turbo coupe. it has a 3.8 v-6 with a m90 roots super charger. the cars that were bought with the stick tranny in 94-95 are very rare for a standard factory production car. these cars are not drag strip warriors. they were built to compete wittth european sports cars. with independent suspension 4-wheel anti lock discs and an active suspension. they can cruise at autobaun speeds. but they do turn in respectable quarter mile times and stop lite to stop lite they can enbarrass most muscle cars. i know its fun!!! Im painting my car at the moment. I want to maybe show it.

Hey frank. ford says that the 94-95 models make 230hp and i forget the torque. it like 320ft lbs @ like 2200 rpm. They are fun to drive and very challenging to work on, but hey thats what makes it fun. that and almost nobody has one.

hi frank, the horse power rating was 230. i dont remember the torque, seems like 315 ft lbs at like 22oo rpm. posted quarter mile times would be from 14.9 for an 89 five speed to a 16.2 for like a 92 automatic. my car was never published that i have found, but a 94 auto was posted at
a 15.2. the rear gears in a stick car are 2.73 and an automatic 3.27. i live in east central ind. i went to a car show in new paris ohio last sat morning. i seen a 69 yenko chevelle there. the car was from youngstown ohio, does anybody know the car? also how can i tell if it was real or a clone? thanks guys.
