Wow, those headlights have no hazyness at all. You look at a 95 mustang, and the headlights are opaque white!! Nice car, looks like it needs a CAI, though, the factory airbox has to be a huge restriction. Tune up time!!!

Not really a Ford guy, but I always appreciate a beautiful machine, and that Thunderbird is definitely gorgeous! And nice win with the low miles!!

[phatklan]

thanks its a 97 and the stock intake is a cai it runs into the fenderwell. she was driven an average of 3k per year then traded back to the dealer that it was sold from.

I love that body style. Nice find, she looks great!

Wow! Nice find! I used to have a 97 the same color but it was the anniversary edition.

That's nice. Aside from the body and other minute things, what makes this different from a Mustang?

lol...totally different vehicle Radomir. The Thunderbird is based on the MN12 platform, while the Mustang (of that era) was based on the Fox platform. The T-Bird is a much bigger, heavier, plusher riding vehicle. These cars have more features and amenities than the Mustang does. It's cousin is the Lincoln Mark VIII.

Personally, I'd rather drive a Thunderbird from that era than a Mustang from that era.

[radomirthegreat]

They're both Fords, have RWD, and use the same engine. Maybe the same transmission? Why make a thunder-anything heavy? A mustang is merely a horse, but a bird made of thunder is insane. Take, for instance, the Cobalt. It's in the same name category as the Mustang, and it has nothing to do with the Camaro or Corvette. I believe a Corvette is an old Roman war ship. To me, the Thunderbird has always seemed to be the sleeker, more aerodynamic car that should be lighter.

[RJGill84]

It might SEEM like that...but the Thunderbird is certainly no sleeker, lighter, or more aerodynamic than the Mustang. The Thunderbird is more of a highway cruiser, where as the Mustang is a more sporty vehicle.

[radomirthegreat]

So, people wouldn't mind if I were to manufacture cars under the RadoCar name and make a very sporty RadoCar Bookshelf with its engine in the more luxurious, grossly overweight RadoCar Bolt? They'd just take the names and roll with it? Given, of course, that RadoCar takes off the ground. Let's not think back to the sister company, Radomir Airlines, whose winged Aerostar exploded on the runway before people could even board.

Rad, try to stay on topic. I have no idea where you are trying to go with this.

[radomirthegreat]

Looks, mostly. It looks sporty.

ford spent over 700 hours in the wind tunnel on the thunderbird its very aerodynamic almost no drag what so ever and mine weighs under 4k and the fox body ended in 93/94 the SN95 would have been used in the same era as my mn12
