![]() Clutch engagement was rough (later found due to bad pilot bearing), idle was spotty, and engine was rough. The price was high, the condition good, but I was disappointed when I drove it. I heard word of it at a local dealership on trade and slid in even before it underwent its pre-inspection. I purchased my SC unexpectantly in the late winter of 2002. Consider that some of the most desireable 60's supercars were only made in 500-5000 car batches to legitimize their attributes for various racing classes. 700 in 1994 and 500 in 1995, so they are modestly rare. Unfortunately not many were made with manual transmissions. They also come with slightly higher compression and floating wrist pins and a more direct exhaust path. These years have a better spindles, clutch, supercharger, throttle body and windage tray. GM started using them also in 1992.ฤก994 or 1995 were the best years of these cars to buy in my opinion. ![]() The SC was the first recent auto to use a roots type blower in 1989. I do have a fascination with power adders and the oppertunity to work with a well engineered high boost factory setup excited me. Independent rear suspension, 4 wheel disks, adjustable ride control, ABS, positive traction rear and a 5 speed manual tranny in a well sized comfortable car where reasons other reasons I gravitated towards the SC. My "other car" is a red Mustang SVO that screams "ticket me!" even when it is parked. Some guys like Corvettes, BMWs and Porsches, the Supercoupe seemed like an unpretentious practical car that could be driven without drawing undue attention. It is one of those cars that captured my imagination as a fine piece of automotive engineering. My 94 Ford Thunderbird SuperCoupe was a bit of a dream come true.
