1975/6 Chevrolet Cosworth Vega. 1999cc four with Cosworth-built DOHC head. It was only $900 less than a Corvette. Their advertisements read "Buy one Vega for the price of two." 5000 engines were built but only 3508 cars were sold. It was and remains a badass little car.

The 1999 Thunderbird that didn't exist that used the engine that (had it existed) it wouldn't have used in 5 years by that point shared the 5.0 badge with the Mustang that hadn't had that engine in 4 years and wasn't badged as a 5.0 even when it did?





I'm so confused that I can't even parse what you might have meant, since the MN-12 didn't have a V8 at all until Ford realized the Supercoupe wasn't a substitute for people who wanted a V8 a few years after it debuted. 1988?
 
1989. '88 was the final year for the Fox platform 'Chicken.

I thought about digging into that post but honestly just reading it was tiring.

Edit: It occurs to me that the question may have been about the year they meant, not the year the Super Coupe debuted.

Subsequent edit: It looks like the V8 Fox-body Thunderbirds didn't even get a "V8" badge like MN-12s got, much less a "5.0" badge. But then it's not like those badges were hard to come by or weren't simply glued in place.

2014 Mistuoka Orochi Evangelion Edition
Only eleven were made. It was the final edition of the Orochi. If you wanted one, you had to buy it through 7-11 in Japan. Proving that Japanese 7-11s are far superior to American 7-11s.

Had no idea these existed until someone posted it up in a junkyard finds Facebook group. 2000 Ford Focus Kona Mountain Bikes Edition. Came in a exclusive color with only 2,500 produced. (Supposedly?)
