thunder bird

[722]

Hi every one. i am new here and am anxious to interact with all of you. i want to know if any of you are familar with the thunder bird supercoupe? i own a 94 five speed. let me know what you think. later,bob.

[722]

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 ?

[Xplantdad]

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!

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.

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.

Got a pic ?

Well.......with that engine and a huffer it should be making a little HP

[722]

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.
