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.
