Nice, I had an 87 XR7 Cougar with the 5.0. LOVED that car.

My grandma had a white 93 LX 5.0 with blue leather interior. One of the first cars I got to drive regularly. Back in the late 90’s and I was a young man, my friends and I all thought that car was sooooo fast lol. I fantasize regularly about building a “Granny-Bird” tribute…

I had a 97 Thunderbird years ago. A bit underpowered with the non-PI 4.6L, but it was still a fun and comfortable cruiser.

I always had dreams of doing a 6-speed manual swap (which I think has finally gotten easier when the Mustang went to a remote shifter) but just never could get around to it before I let it go.

I have no idea what they are worth today, but it was crazy how cheap you could pick up an MN12 Thunderbird in the mid-2000's.

The styling of the Fox T-bird is not my favorite. Not horrible, but I'd rather have the Mustang.
