Traded for my K5 Blazer.. what an ignorant decision..
This is my 1993 Thunderbird Super Coupe 5-speed, in red, with black leather interior. Its 99% stock, with the exception of the removed air silencer, Flowmaster mufflers, 180* T-Stat, and a Sony Xplod stereo. This car was one of only 3,891 Super Coupes to roll off the Lorrain assembly plant, back in 1993. Only 1,038 of the 3,891 were 5-Speeds. Even fewer then those were red. I bought it on July 9th, 2005 from the origional owner.
The Super Coupe's comes equipped with a 3.8 liter V-6 powerplant that is force-fed with an Eaton Corporation supercharger. The 8.2 to 1 compression ratio, combined with six computer controlled sequentially fuel injectors, completes the well rounded underhood package. While running at a maximum 15,600 rpm's, the supercharger provides 12 psi of boost and as a resultant it develops 210 bhp at 4000 engine rpm's. The engine develops 315 lb-ft of torque at 2600 rpm.
This SC is equipped with an electronic suspension control. (Also known as "ARC") You can definitely feel a difference in the ride when you switch from the soft and sport (Firm) setting. The ride control system is made by Tokico. A computer monitors vehicle speed, brake-line pressure, steering angle and engine-computer acceleration signals to determine the shock valving. There are two switch settings. These settings are: Auto and Firm. The automatic setting selects soft shock valving for a smooth, comfortable ride. When driving conditions require a firm ride, it automatically overrides the soft valving. The firm position is simply an override that selects the firm setting in all driving modes.
The Thunderbird SC braking system features 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS. The Thunderbird SC can stop in 140 ft from 60 mph. From a speed of 80 mph, it takes the SC 247 ft. to come to a safe stop.
(This window sticker is not from my car, but it is from a 93 Super Coupe with similar options. Check out that base price, for 1993!)
This car is also registered on The Thunderbird Registry as #27256
