I am home from Iraq and ready to sell this stuff:
My 1995 Thunderbird SC Car & Parts Liquidation List:
1995 Thunderbird SC automatic, 196k well-maintained (pampered actually) miles.
Good: recently (< 10k) freshened KVR brakes, rotors turned lightly, new KVR pads, near new Michelin Hydroedge (stock size, < 6k) tires, Kooks coated headers, SCP exhaust (aged, but all in good shape), BBK 76mm TB, C&L 75mm MAF w/SCP air intake system, new Livewires, new Gatorback belts, 32k SC w/5% pulley, off my other super low mileage car (sold), restored A/C, stock in-dash CD player works fine, all accessories work good. Cool platinum window tint and clear corners and new clear headlamp assemblies really make the metallic blue look good. Needs no body work, rust-free. Gray interior has no rips, fade, dash cracks or excessive wear, looks good inside. I had the drivers’ seat reupholstered and the support material replaced a while back, no wear evident. Also, had the transmission overhauled by the best shop in the area, including Art Carr rebuild parts and hardened input shaft, at 114k. Brand new correct Motorcraft battery. SCP solid motor and transmission cross member mounts and differential bushings. Addco 1 1/8 rear anti-sway bar. New puller fan motor. Brake system recently flushed and new fluid installed. Near new steel idler pulleys. New Ford remanufactured starter, 10k ago. No leaks or anything like that. I am probably forgetting something. The car does not have a moon roof. I preferred not to have one when I bought my SCs.
Bad: both windows need the repair kits (available from SCP) so they go up/down properly, roof/deck lid paint faded (sides look fine), but no rust at all, could use front end rebuild, I have the parts, see below (drives fine, though), trim around the windshields showing wear, but I have new pieces, see below.
Overall: Very dependable car, I would love to restore this car, but other priorities have taken over (home repairs). All maintenance records included. Bottom line, a chip/tune, a paint job, and for peace of mind, a BHJ balancer (I have one-see below), and this car is good to go for another easy 100k.
Parts:
1. Complete new Moog front-end rebuild stuff (tie-rod ends, upper/lower control arms, etc)
2. A/C condenser-new in box
3. 3.73 posi-traction Cobra chunk for an SC-new
4. MN-12 rear differential stabilizer/girdle-new
5. Complete SCP exhaust system for stock manifolds 1995-new in box
6. Stock height SC springs-new in box
7. Bushings for every nook and crannie underneath-new, suspension are MN-12, other pieces are from Ford (IRS base bushings/K member, etc)
8. Complete under-hood engine wire harness for 1995 auto-new in box
9. Complete fuel injection wire harness-new in box
10. Set of Konis-new in box
11. Windshield and rear glass trim pieces-new in box
12. BHJ balancer, original style-new in box
13. Stainless steel brake lines from that guy Thomas, 2 sets-new in box
14. ABS sensors, 2 each-new in box
15. Bose extended lead O2s, new
16. Ignition switch w/keys-new in box
17. Like new EGR tube
18. Miscellaneous odds and ends (e.g., set of stock exhaust manifolds)
19. Stock TB, MAF and air intake system with under 30k.
20. Stock SC inlet plenum and top.
21. Factory shop manuals
22. Assorted tools, e.g., SC wrench, OBD II scanner/code reader w/book
I am selling all of this stuff to a single SC buff, in order to avoid the hassle of individual sales and shipments. I would take $4500 for all of this stuff. I recommend an SC buff to buy this as a package deal, keep certain parts to install on the car, and then sell what you don’t need. I am returning from Iraq on September 5th, so I will be available to do business after that date.
