1995 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe: The Last One
The last Super Coupe year: 230 hp and 330 lb-ft SAE net, five-speed standard.
United States · researched through 2026-09-22
This record's own dek states that 1995 was the last Super Coupe year, at 230 hp and 330 lb-ft SAE net with the five-speed standard; this record's own overview repeats that Ford's 1995 catalog rates the supercharged, intercooled 3.8 V-6 at that same 230 hp at 4,400 rpm and 330 lb-ft at 2,500 rpm, alongside the 4.6 SOHC V-8 at 205 hp and 265 lb-ft and the base 3.8 V-6 at 140 hp, with the five-speed manual standard on the Super Coupe and an electronic four-speed automatic optional.
This record's own overview also states that Wikipedia says the Super Coupe was discontinued after 1995 because of slowing sales, closing out the supercharged model this record's own dek calls its last year; this record's own text does not attribute that discontinuation decision to any figure or document beyond Wikipedia's own sentence, nor does it give a reason beyond the "slowing sales" phrase Wikipedia itself uses.1
This record's own overview also states that Wikipedia's tenth-generation production table gives 115,397 Thunderbirds of all series for 1995, while the Thunderbird infoway compilation lists 5,741 Super Coupes, 574 of them with the five-speed manual; this record's own production section carries all of these as separate rows, adding a fourth row for 14,927 naturally aspirated Thunderbirds and a fifth for 94,155 Thunderbirds with the 4.6 V-8, the largest engine-configuration row in this record's own set for the year.1,2
This record's own production notes again state that the infoway rows come from one enthusiast compilation crediting Ford media material rather than a named document, that the five-speed figure is a subset of the Super Coupe row, and that none of these rows are reconciled against the Wikipedia/Tast whole-line total or added together in this record; a second note states that this record's own paint list shows only colours not marked LX-only in the 1995 catalog, omitting the extra-cost tri-coat White Opalescent and the LX-only colours entirely.2
This record's own options section carries a single entry, P225/60ZR16 blackwall performance tires standard on the Super Coupe, with no price given and its own vocabulary field labeled "tire spec" rather than "catalog option"; this record's own paint table carries 6 colours under that same LX-exclusion scope, all sourced to the catalog's own Colors and Trims page rather than to Automotive Mileposts.
This record's own specifications section gives a 113.0-inch wheelbase and 200.3-inch length for the two-door body, a 53.0-inch height scoped to the Super Coupe specifically rather than the whole line, a 72.7-inch width for the two-door body, and an 18.0-gallon fuel tank common to all bodies; this record's own identification section adds the catalog's own form number, Form 162-Ann., lithographed 8/94, printed on the back cover.
This record's own keyFacts, prices, priceNotes, interiors, performance, conflicts and unpublished-leads sections are all empty for the year, leaving overview, production, engines, transmissions, options, paint, specifications and identification as this record's own sources for 1995. This record's own title identifies the car as the "1995 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe," the last year that trim name appears in this record's own text given the discontinuation Wikipedia describes.1

The numbers
1995 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe — The last Super Coupe year: 230 hp and 330 lb-ft SAE net, five-speed standard.
Coverage: Partial — researched sections are shown; missing ones are not yet sourced. Researched through 2026-09-22.
Every figure is labeled with how sure we are. Reported means a manufacturer, registry, or reference figure we cite but have not reconciled against factory records ourselves. Disputed means credible sources disagree and both are shown. Rows are separately scoped; don't add them together unless the note says they make up a total.

The infoway rows are one enthusiast compilation (the author credits Ford media material, not a named document). "SC 5-speed manuals" is a subset of the SC row. The infoway rows are not reconciled against the Wikipedia/Tast whole-line total and are not added together here.
Paint list shows only colors not marked LX-only in the 1995 catalog; White Opalescent (extra-cost tri-coat) and the LX-only colors are omitted.
Prices when new *
No price is shown here. One was, until 2026-09-24: a figure from J.D. Power's live valuation pages, pulled from every page on this site because those pages can change without our knowing and we have no way to check them independently. We haven't found a source we can stand behind to put in its place yet. A price for this car elsewhere that looks suspiciously exact may be quoting that same J.D. Power figure rather than confirming it — several sites we checked turned out to be doing exactly that, without saying so.
