2002 Ford Thunderbird

Description

If you're a fan of the retro T-bird, this is the one that you've been dreaming about. The 2002 Ford Thunderbird re-launched the generation, and this one did it with a very special color, all the options, all the right documents, and still has a nearly-impossible amount of miles. So if you missed out on one when new, we have the next best thing.

We love the rarity of this T-bird. After all, 2002 was the year Ford re-launched the storied brand with a proper two-seater personal coupe design. Ford really built a car for fans like us, and they nailed it in all the best ways. The grille, hood scoop, fender vents, and the porthole on the optional removable hardtop – it all reminds us of the long and low iconic first-generation car. And if you're a fan of them like we are, then you know Thunderbird Blue was only offered for this year. So as time goes on, this distinct pastel color that reminds us of the first generation colors is also a great signpost for other enthusiasts. That's why it has been treated like a classic since day one. And barely averaging over 550 miles annually tells you it was only let out of the garage for special occasions (and even then, it was likely wearing its protective bra on the front.) The result is a collector-grade car that still retains its showroom shine.

A car like this is meant to be seen with it s top down, and so we love that the special Thunderbird Blue returns as an accent throughout the interior. And just like the exterior, the entire inside has received all the correct care to remain immaculate. It gives this one the full uniform appearance that you get on the best classics... only this one is loaded with modern features. It comes with a premium AM/FM/CD changer stereo, power seats, power locks, power steering, alarm system, keyless entry, and cruise control. Owning a modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes. This is meant to be a cool cruiser, and you feel it the moment you slip behind the wheel and run your hands over the long Thunderbird logo. And because the T-bird experience is centered around the driver, the power windows and a power folding top means you never have to leave the driver's seat to get the full open-air experience. Plus, thanks to dual-zone climate control, you can do this all through the summer season.

Ford's reliable and smooth 3.9-liter DOHC V8 was the choice for the Lincolns and Jaguars of the time, and so it was the perfect choice for the T-birds. It has been maintained so well in this example, you'll swear our showroom was the Ford one back in '02. That means you get the most out of this fuel-injected V8, which has the perfect powerband to be a strong stoplight puller or an all-day highway cruiser. This versatility is only heightened by the five-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. It's a personal luxury car like its ancestors, but it comes with more modern driving features. The fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes means you can be confident on any road.

The sale comes with the original window sticker and owners manual – exactly the paperwork you want to continue this Thunderbird's legacy into full classic status. This retro car is an icon all on its own, and this is exactly how you want it presented. So don't miss you second chance at a fresh T-bird. Call today!!!
