1995 Thunderbird SC, 5-speed. One of the less-than-500 made in the final model year of the SC. 162,000 miles, mostly highway. Starts and runs very well, drives great. Has been very reliable.
$2400.00.
Car is located in Stirling, NJ 07980. Less than 30 minutes from NYC, close to Rte 78 and 287.
Exterior is dark blue. Interior is gray.
-3.8 SC motor. Engine is internally stock
-5-speed M5R2 transmission. Stock gearing and limited-slip rear-end.
-Usual power features: windows, locks, driver's seat, mirrors, semi-auto climate control, cruise, electronic ride control. All the power stuff works.
-Half-leather seats
-Aftermarket single-disc Pioneer CD player with aftermarket Infinity 6x8 2-ways in rear and Clarion plate (5" with separate tweeter) in front; all hook-ups for subwoofer in trunk (power, RCA line ins, remote switching).
-Stock 16" SC wheels
-Does not have autolamp, moonroof, or power passenger seat.
The Good:
-New motor mounts, new power steering pressure hose.
-Fresh oil and filter change.
-Recent rear brakes and rear tires.
-Replaced cam sensor, fuel lines.
-SC Performance cold air intake with K&N filter.
-Supercharger is quiet
-All electric stuff works, air conditioning works well.
-Interior is in good shape, leather on driver's seat is worn, but not ripped
-New LH headlight and marker light, new RH headlight and marker light will be included with car, as will an extra set of solid motor mounts.
-Runs clean and well, daily driver.
-Clean NJ title.
The Bad:
-Needs RH side mirror only. Casing and motor are functional and in place, just needs the actual mirror.
-Very light (~10 MPH) deer hit on LH front corner. VERY minimal sheetmetal damage, just some minor bending at the hood corner above the LH headlight. This is why the headlight and marker were replaced. No real paint damage on hood from hit, and damage is not even visible from 20 feet away. Hood opens and closes just fine. E-mail me for pictures of this.
-Usual cosmetic blemishes and wear from 162,000 miles of daily driving. Paint is in overall good condition though.
-Due to Ford's ingenuity in placing stickers, the speedo only works up to about 70 MPH, because the sticker on the back is inhibiting further movement. An easy fix if you remove the dash/cluster.
I will provide a FREE CarFax report to seriously interested parties. You can use my CarFax account to run the VIN for yourself.
I'll try to add a picture or two here. E-mail for DETAILED pictures, including pictures of blemishes and hood damage.
This car would be a great starter for a new SC owner as-is, a great rebuild for an enthusiast, and an easy restoration for the mechanically inclined.
Need to sell because I just bought an Acura TL Type S. Has been a great car since I've owned it, but there's only room in the driveway for two.
Seriously interested? E-mail me for more info, VIN, and pictures.
