Interior shots. These are from the previous owner. 1st thing I did was remove that steering wheel wrap!

Stock engine in 2002, & how it looks today. The car only has 44,000 miles on it. I've upgraded the exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers & resonator, larger diameter pipes & straight through cats. On the intake side I've got a Magnum Powers 85mm throttle body, MP polished intake plenum, 3 1/2" MP intake tube, K&N filter, C & L 76mm MAFS, MP raised blower top, & March polished U/D pulleys. The blower was ported & polished by MP. I installed a TransGo shift kit, 3.73:1 gears, EEC chip from Super Coupe Performance, & 800 cfm I/C fan. Brian Solomon made the double intercooler. Had it dyno'd in 2005 & it made 257 RWHP.

My 1st 2 Thunderbirds. Bought both the '85 & '88 new back in Indiana in my pre-navy days.

Bought the black '90 in '95 when I was stationed up in New Jersey, & bought the red '95 LX in '98.

The red '95 SC was my 1st Super Coupe. Traded the '95 LX for it in '00 when I got back home from a Mediterranean deployment. Picked up the red '96 LX back in 2006 & sold it in 2008.

Thanx everyone! If I remember right, Magnum Powers charged me $600 for the porting & $300 to polish it. I polished everything else myself. I think the seats ARE the same seats that Ford put in the SHO's. And no, I've owned plenty of non-Thunderbirds. Right now I also own a 2003 Mach 1 which I will be posting pics of here soon.

Sweet Jesus... I love this car. Envy. I just replaced the supercharger on mine and it's a pain pulling everything out of there. But how much did it cost you to send the parts off to MP? Looks nice... 5*****
