Definitely didn’t think I’d own my SC as long as I have. Had plans as a 13 year old to just make it a beater bomb and drive it for a couple year and move on to something better. The history of the car caught my attention as well and sorta fell in love with it. I don’t drive it near as much as I should these days but every time I get in it, I’m reminded of just how comfy and good these cars drive. Currently rebuilding the 429 for my Fairlane so that’s been taking my free time but 2023 will definitely hold a lot of upgrades and fixes for my SC

I've had my 1990 SC auto since Oct. 1995, but haven't licensed it in a couple of years. I also have 1989 5sp SC that I just replaced the bad engine after sitting 12 years! People ask me "why I am "wasting my time on an old Thunderbird" I tell them that they ride, and drive well, and are very quiet.
You have really done a nice job on your SC. Looks great! What year Fairlane do you have? I have a 1966 Fairlane GT, sitting in the corner of my shop.

I daily a Focus ST so it’s always nice having actual room in the SC. Mines a 1966 500XL. Bit of a restomod I built with my dad growing up. 429/TKO600 5 speed
