The MN12 Thunderbird was nearing the end of its cycle in the mid-’90s. Before dropping the name altogether (for a few years, anyway), Ford gave the “personal luxury car” a mild facelift. Unfortunately, forced induction was now a thing of the past for Thunderbirds (as were manual transmissions), leaving the 4.6 V8 as the only logical choice.

The Super Coupe wheels really did great things for the looks of these cars.
The SCs Tokico suspension and Lincoln’s 32v 4.6 would have really made these great machines.

I work with a guy who had a nice one just like that blue one above, got a little too excited and stuffed it into a fire hydrant then replaced it with one of the champagne colored ones. “Leadfoot Chuck” - a Ford man till the day he dies. I was surprised how small they are inside. They have less head and leg room than I would have guessed.
