1990 Ford Thunderbird SC 2dr Coupe
I bought this car on my birthday, and the five speed is awesome. I have killed many a Mustang in this car. It was very advanced for its age, and well thought out! Some people complain about the head gaskets. I would rather replace those than the whole engine block! Moonroof, cd player, power everything, ke, auto belts, very smooth ride and turning!
One of the best I ever had

1990 Ford Thunderbird SC 2dr Coupe
I''ve had several Fords and two T- Bird. My first was an `85 that lost an argument with a snow plow. I ordered a bright red 1989, but it came it was white; I said I'd take it only if they painted it red. They refused but ordered it again; I received it as a 1990. I wasn't disappointed. Great looking, great handling (smaller turning radius than my wife's Subaru). Living in Chicago … and New York I mainly drove my T-Bird long distances, and they were dream drives. I once rented a non-SC for 3 weeks while shooting a Rte. 66 documentary. It was good, but my SC was far better. Wish I had it now, but times changed and I aged, so I donated it to charity.
Unreliable but Fun to Drive

1991 Ford Thunderbird SC 2dr Coupe
I ordered the my T-bird SC new. So far
it's been the most enjoyable car I've
driven. It has a unique blend of
performance and comfort. The vehicle is
roomy and rides well. It handles like a
much smaller car. It's a cross between
a luxury car and muscle car.
Unfortuantely I've had numerous
problems with the vehicle from the very
first week. This resulted in an …
alarming 90+ service invoices over
10yrs for problems outside of regular
maintenance. The vehicle remains a very
enjoyable and fun car to drive.
Although the reliability has left me
with a somewhat tarnished image of this
product.
