May have been swapped in, the od wires can get brittle over time and replacing the whole handle is sometimes easier. I have only ever seen the short leather ones in 97s myself, never a 94 when Ford was still pouring money in this platform
What logic is there to the shifter changing back and forth
Would it be logical to assume that part may have been replaced with a newer updated shifter at some point in time ?
This one:
1995 Thunderbird 4.6
This was listed yesterday by my local yard. I haven't looked at it personally. If anyone needs anything specific, I can drive out there.forum.birdcats.com
like the “1998” 94-96 cluster I have.
Why it was replaced on a low mile car like that(if those miles are actually authentic…)
Bird or cat?Who has a drivers tail light?
Asking for an idiot.
I remember Grog talking about seeing quite a few of these smoked. The only thing I know to look at is the Carfax and evaluate lapse in mileageThe intake manifold runners (IMRCs) can get stuck due to lack of use over time. If the car falls flat on its face under hard acceleration over 3000 RPM, they may be stuck closed.
Agreed... Still you would be surprised how much a difference the location up North makes. When I lived in upstate NY, car dealers there would advertise the fact that they sold "clean" Pennsylvania vehicles. The PA cars are are always way less rusted. Same if you get into NYC and NJ area, they rust but not anything like the cars closer to the great lakes.As much as I appreciate my Northern friends, I'm not buying a 20+ year old car from there. North AL at least gets away from the gulf. The White Tbird looks great.
