Dave, as much as I think you understand my love towards this vehicle, I think some of us need to take out the 35th Anniversary sunglasses in here. What we're dealing with is an almost 40 year old car built on a steel frame. I don't understand what makes it different when I talk big about the...

Black is just a different beast with this car... and I do believe some of the black ones were the quite the Arnold Schwarzenegger ones. Meaning spec-wise, as in, chosen seats, etc... and frankly, I hate black on most cars but this car just manages to show off on most colors. Can't say I'm all...

Michelin PSS was a really good summer tire... close to drag radials, again. However, there will always be roads that are re-build, etc, and you'll lose so much traction it wouldn't even be cheeky. As such, I'd never drive with drag radials to street. The way the asymmetrical is built, not only...

Seconded, we got a car with a Torsen system and I hate driving in actual amount of rain. Especially with tires not worth talking about, you instantly lose braking distance and start slipping... and yeah I know, it does rain a bit in So Cal. Was kind of trying to make a pun. Summer is coming so...

I actually tend to know an OK deal of this vehicle... you know, Internet is your buddy when you spend countless days looking at a specific car. Yes, it is bad ass. It is a unicorn, there's not very many coupes that are longer than 5 meters off the engine bay to the rear... I'm not going to...

Mixing the rears might be passable... but mixing both front and rear at any significant size (read not just rim type) could be a murder, at least in theory granted how you baby your SC. Mixing rim styles in general would make it look cheap when somebody is there to look at how it's been...

I probably love this car more with my life than most actual bird owners on this site... and if I had that very black SC with all the original parts down to the Ford floor mat, I'd have still said the same thing. Which btw, went for a mere 20.000 Turkish Liras in its prime heyday. That makes...

As they say... it never rains in So Cal eh? :) You can get BF Goodrich's, I don't hear a lot from them since they make more racing tires than anything, but they usually tend to be OK for the cash. I wouldn't go with bare rubberish tires to road even with how this car hugs the ground, it's...

I'm not going to lie my man, "years ago" in your post is the catch. If you look at just the sale part of this forum, you can clearly see how long-gone & forgotten this car has become. Not only the prices are dirt low, but also the vibe is no longer there. Literally all the crappiest, crapster...

Wide does not equal to good. Where do you live and where do you drive? Usually Eagle F1 Asymm 6 would be recommendation. If you want get it done only for summer days, Michelin Pilot Sport would work.

Thanks, yeah I love the bird don't get me wrong, just that my love towards cars has moved on to higher echelon Chinese EVs recently. Was talking about you indeed, have you sold the white bird? Think you had two or something... has been a while. Looker for sure.

That's cool that the museum holds the last bird when the boards down the factory line basically said "that's it fellas", another bit from the end of production of these cars... however, even staying in a climate controlled museum doesn't help the case. If you have some know of, for example, the...

I used to have wet dreams of it... 10 years ago though, lol. Now I'm wishing the same about several high end asian EVs like the Xpeng P7... times change. ;)

A car that sat 30+ years straight is going to need some maintenance, also that color combination is not quite my cup of tea - and the price, is the worst of all. The holy grail bird should be the 90 chassis with the rear parking sensors like on the late models, a moderate mileage with...

It's an older looker but I wouldn't pay more than a few grands for it, they overcharge a lot for these in good condition when in reality owners know they haven't been worth much during the past decade. Auto means sluggish 4-speed with the relaxed timings, you want the man. 5 for the performance...

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but just got a notification about my birthday from here, so thought I might check out for a Discord - if any. Are you folks considering creating one? If so, would love so participate in since I've personally moved on from forums to Discord channels.

By "modern standards" many cars with car computer screens and good power are downright luxurious to an SC. Take an Infiniti G37 for example, that would blow the socks off a T-Bird. Bird is old car... back on topic, I immediately thought of Roush when I read the title. The old Roush 427 Mustang...

Well, this is a supercar with a mid placed engine that outputs over 600 horse and is light. It is not a $5000 car that weights in at over 2200kg and comes with 200 HP. (you know.. :D) It doesn't "need" a V8, although it'd be nice to have an option to have one with more power.. what I really...

I'm not sure how you find the first bird clean looking with that interior.. as for the second, it has rust all over the engine / pulley and he put in that the supercharger makes a bearing noise.. the M90 might be on its way out. No need to twist and shape things really.
