The only thing that bugs me is they got the year range wrong, 1994 - 1997. We know that's WRONG, lol.
Nice video, thanks for sharing.

That, and a lot of the cars in the video were pre-94 models

A lot of misinformation and facts wrong like others have said. He could have went through the Wikipedia pags for MN12s and get a lot correct.
IMO a supercoupe would also make an awfull first car! I'd probably be dead now if my dumbass teenage self was behind the wheel of a supercoupe lol. Not to mention they have the problems all MN12s have now a days; in addition to an unreliable engine.
I do have to say though I am subscribed to him, have watched other vides he has put out. His content is usually somewhat interesting and he obviously has a thing for fords. He did a video on the FN10; I recall it being better than this recent one.

Anybody out there interested in a 1996 LX with 188K - original 3.8L engine (Mobile One since the get-go - 23 mpg), original tranny and original exhaust - meticulous maintenance records and garaged.
Love it - but there comes a time...
Oh yeah - Boston area...

I think him skipping the 89-93 SC was due to the interior being more "old fashioned" instead of the cockpit style of the 94-97 Thunderbirds. Yes, he got the years wrong, but again, he's obviously a new convert to the church of MN12, so we can give him a little slack.
He talks about them being a good first "sports car" and he goes over some of the more common issues *cough cough*head gaskets*cough cough*.
But yeah, not perfect, but we're long standing members of the congregation here.

His channel seems to be Crown Vic centric, the 89-93 dash looks like a spaceship compared to the Panthers! He said in the video the 94+ styling was improved, which is a big to each his own claim.I think him skipping the 89-93 SC was due to the interior being more "old fashioned" instead of the cockpit style of the 94-97 Thunderbirds.

If I saw that video when I was 16 I’d be just as critical of it as I am now, even when I was a noob I was a snob with car facts :tongue:

A 4.6 has to be abused/run too hot to blow a head gasket. They're notoriously reliable if maintained.
Just spun bearings :tongue:
