What are the hidden differences between the ʻ94/95 SCs vs. The major years of the SC represent two basic versions: 1989 ~ 19 ~ 1995. This body style, known as ʻMN12ʼ, ran thru 1997, with the SC ending in 1995. Performance fans had a particularly tempting choice: a supercharged, intercooled variant of the V6 that pumped out 210 horsepower in the Super Coupe (SC), which featured dual exhaust, 16-inch tires w/aluminum wheels, and 4-wheel antilock disc brakes standard. Base and LX editions had a 3.8-liter V6 and 4-speed overdrive automatic. Mercury's Cougar is similar, but with different appearance touches. Also new at that time was a fully independent rear suspension. The Ford Thunderbird was restyled in 1989 and became slimmer in overall dimensions with a wheelbase nine inches longer than the previous model. Note that not all SCs came from the factory with similar equipment, features and options. It is not meant to provide general used car buying assistance and it assumes that a rookie SC buyer has basic automotive knowledge.

This guide, v4.0, is for the buyer that may not be familiar with the 1989 ~ '95 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe & 1989 ~ '90 Mercury Cougar XR-7, and is looking for hints and tips as to any particular items that may be wise to note when considering purchase.
