Watching it now. I miss seeing these cars around. My buddy had a late 80's V6 that we had a lot of fun driving around in. Their performance is a lot worse than I remember.

I had a '94 SC, blue on blue leather. It was a really great car for it's time and rolled out. And girls really liked it. I wish they would've made a '96 SC with the cobra motor.

The 94/95 SC were very impressive for the time. Nice they had all wheel disc. Would of been nicer if they had got the 94/95 cobra calipers. They made crazy tq with a pulley and tune.

I had a 93 Tbird with a 5.0. For the heavy car it was very fun. Im sure gears would of made it much better.

That T-Bird SC doesn’t look half bad. It’s just the right size to be a great tourer with a coyote swap.

Miss my blue 94 bird...lots of good times in that car

I was thinking something similar. I bet you can still find a fairly clean one pretty cheap.

Oh I’m sure they aren‘t on most people‘s google history. Finding a clean one is the challenge.

My high school girlfriends parents had one of these. Fun times. They did awesome brake stands.

My mom bought a 97 model right when I turned 16 and started driving, it was a pearl white color. Thing was awesome. Even though it isn’t fast by todays standards, it was pretty quick for its time. I won many a race with it in high school. The one I remember most is my friend who’s mom had got a 97 Monte Carlo at the same time. He was bragging about how much faster it was than the Buick Regal she traded in ( which was a pretty quick car for its time too). Anyway by the time I finished with him he had the small engine in it, the regal was way faster, and he never challenged the thunderbird again

And yea I even went look on YouTube a couple months ago to see if anyone has swapped a 5.0. That would be the ultimate touring car. I would love to have that setup

I actually love that blue leather interior. Doubt it ages well with wear and tear though, but then again what does?

Def needs a manual with the V8 though.

Interiors from that era just fell apart if not well taken care of.

My mom had a 85 XR-7 Turbo. It was essentially the same as the SVO. It was a great car until I totaled it when some dipshit in a Camaro ran a red light.

 

[Captain Chris]

Had a 93 with the 5.0 for my first car. Had a lot of good times and memories with that car.

My wife had a 5.0 '88 T-Bird. She loved that car so much. I drove turbo coupes but like the V8 better. Identical to this one.
