1989: SWB T-bird. A Mustang Mule
As attractive as this short-wheelbase Thunderbird SC is, it unfortunately wasn’t a hot new variant of the T-bird. Insiders confirmed that under the sheet-metal was the engineering development chassis and drive-train for the 94′ Mustang. Insiders confirmed the new mustang would be pulled off the T-Birds MN12 platform (as well as the Mark VIII), but specifics of the new pony-car were indistinct in the wake of economic tightening that was happening at Ford. The temperamental new V8 undoubtedly was a version of the so-called “Modular” engine program, which facilitated assembly of different displacement engines on the same line.
