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.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
