I am selling my 1989 Thunderbird Super Coupe. This is a limited production Ford car (1 of only 8,100 Manual transmission SC's in 1989) which featured options way ahead of it's time for releasing in 1989 (This car has every feature that was available to be ordered on these). It features a supercharged V6 making 210HP and 315 ft/lb tourque matched up to the 5-speed manual this car contains. The car is all original and unmolested aside from a newer Kenwood stereo deck with remote control. It only has 86,500 miles on it and it shows. The original paint shines great with only minor chips/wear on front bumper area. It has new Yokohama tires on it with less than 500 miles on them. The deep blue leather interior is in good shape only showing wear on the driver's seat. Car is laser straight and drives that way as well with the automatic ride control which features sport mode as well as luxury mode. This feature allows you to adjust the ride cushion for aggressive driving or highway driving. The only issues with the car currently is a minor rattle in the front left when hitting bumps and the two surface rust spots that started (inside) the front left and right rear fender-wells which has not reached the outside visible surfaces. This was a fun driver for me as I rarely drove it on a weekend here and there or to a cruise in or car show.
Please message me with any questions. Again this car is in good shape for an '89 and would make a great addition to a Ford Collector or someone looking for a fun cruiser. Reliable for a daily driver if that is what you are looking for.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]
Thu, 26 Jun 2014With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.
