Recently my dad's 04 Focus 5-speed 2.3SE was wrecked in a really harsh rear end collision. I've had my SC for a couple months now and my dad was really impressed with what I had. My dad's been driving front-drive cars for a while now and he's never owned a Ford with a V8. Even our truck is a 6-er... but not anymore. After a whole lot of searching and browsing I was about ready to give up and buy new when I found it.



What I found was this:

1995 Ford Thunderbird LX V8, Pearl white.
Automatic Climate Control, full power. No moonroof, 4-wheel disc ABS.
30,911 Original miles, located just down the street from me. Immaculate inside and out.
We paid $3500 for it, the thing runs amazing.
I put my stock SC wheels on it and put those crappy turbine wheels on the side of the house-- it looks sooo much better.

It's a whole lot smoother than my SC and the AC on it works, but my car's still faster and handles better :cool:.

Unfortunately he's got a larger aftermarket.

Outside of SC wheels and a removed air silencer, it's bone stock.


I will include pictures of both t-birds washed on the drive later, but I think it's neat to have a father and son driving basically the same car optioned out completely differently.
Oh, and they're both white.

Congrats, I bought a 95 LX 4.6 also. I have to agree its a lot smoother than the SC but it truly is a pig. I miss my SC but I love driving the LX. SC wheels and removed silencer. It gets better gas mileage also. Maybe because the SC is torn apart in the driveway (lol) Maybe because my foot doesnt mash the peddle like it did in the SC.

They are nice cars, I am glad I went with another MN12.
