All gears work good.” The engine is listed as a V8, which is probably the 4.6L V8 that was new in 1994 and replaced the 5.0 small block. Mechanically, the seller shares that it may need a transmission cylinoid, but he’s not sure, and goes on to say, “But it runs fine, even on the freeway. The rear bench seat with its fold-down armrest looks as it it’s never been sat in. It looks like the front carpets and seats could stand a cleaning, but overall, the interior appears to be in very good shape. This ‘Bird’s interior is several shades of gray with black instrumentation, steering wheel, and automatic transmission.

A new steering wheel was also included in the cockpit facelift. Instrumentation was more in the wrap-around cockpit style with sweeping curves on the dash and door panels. Ford also took advantage of this opportunity to increase driver and passenger comfort. It’s also sporting a brand new set of tires.ġ994 saw a complete redesign of Thunderbird’s interior in order to accommodate dual front airbags.

It was an overcast day when the photos were taken, so it’s hard to tell how shiny the paint actually is.


The front snout saw larger air intakes in the bumper cover, new headlamps, a more curvy hood, and for understated branding, the Thunderbird emblem was moved from the hood to the upper air intake slot. 1994 was the “mid-cycle refresh year” for the tenth generation Thunderbird that ran from the 1989-1997 model years. There’s no history and scant information shared by the seller and only eight so-so photos of the exterior and interior (none of the engine). Nonetheless, on the surface it looks like a great deal on a decent-looking ‘Bird that’s currently located in Tacoma, Washington and for sale here on craigslist for only seven Benjamins. With a headline reading: ****MUST GO**** – $700 and a brief description starting out with, “I am selling this car for my neighbor…It has been sitting for 5 years and his wife just wants it gone.” I’m guessing there could be an interesting “rest of the story” behind this 1994 Thunderbird (or maybe not so interesting).
