Finished in classic Black over a Titanium Gray leather and vinyl interior, this highly original Super Coupe has been carefully maintained, garage-kept, and preserved in outstanding condition throughout its life. Purchased new in 1989, this Thunderbird has remained with its original owner for more than 37 years.

The car has always been garaged and has never been driven during winter months when snow or road salt was present. As a result, it remains in remarkably original, near-new condition, retaining its factory paint, original tires, original exhaust system, and many other factory-installed components. The exterior paint presents beautifully, with only a few minor stone chips and water marks consistent with the vehicle's age and careful preservation.

Adding significantly to its desirability is the extensive collection of original documentation and accessories accompanying the vehicle, including its original Ford window sticker, dealer order/build sheet, owner's manuals, original documentation packet, sales brochure, 1998 Road Test Magazine, service records, original factory radio, and protective two- piece nose bra. The original window sticker documents an MSRP of $22,549, including factory options, destination and delivery, and the applicable equipment package discount. Named the 1989 Motor Trend Car of the Year, the Thunderbird Super Coupe was one of Ford's most sophisticated performance automobiles of its era, combining supercharged performance, advanced suspension technology, impressive luxury equipment, and distinctive aerodynamic styling.

This particular example is even more desirable thanks to its factory 5-speed manual overdrive transmission, making it a true enthusiast's Thunderbird. Supercharged 3.8-Liter V6 - Factory 5-Speed Manual Under the hood is Ford's original 3.8-liter EFI intercooled supercharged V6 engine, factory-rated at 210 horsepower and paired with a desirable 5-speed manual overdrive transmission. The Super Coupe's supercharged engine delivers strong low-end torque, smooth highway acceleration, and an unmistakable driving experience that helped establish the SC as one of the most advanced American personal luxury performance coupes of its time.

The engine compartment retains its largely factory-original appearance, reflecting the exceptionally low mileage and careful ownership history.

Remarkable One-Owner History - Just 24,100 Original Miles One of the most impressive aspects of this Thunderbird is its extraordinary preservation. Having remained with the same owner since 1989, the car has accumulated only 24,100 miles over its lifetime and has benefited from careful storage and seasonal use. The seller reports that it has always been garage-kept and has never been operated on snow-covered or salt-treated roads.
