2002 Ford Thunderbird

Description

This 2002 Ford Thunderbird was bought to be a classic from day one. With only 955 miles on the odometer (yes, really!!!), smooth V8, loaded with options, highly documented, and beautifully original interior and exterior, this is a cherished collector car waiting for its next custodian.

How do you average less than 70 miles per year? You buy a car that you only use for very special occasions. This Thunderbird is the closest you can come to brand new, which makes this retro-styled collectable irresistibly appealing. The bold Torch Red is borrowed from the original '55 T-Bird palette, but it has the luster of a modern clearcoat. And the way this car has been babied, you better believe that this factory paint is so nice it will make your garage feel like the Ford showroom. But we love these because all the details are right, too, including the grille, hood scoop, fender vents, and the porthole on the optional removable hardtop. Everything is exactly how the factory made it, so the doors fit tight and the bright alloy wheels have never seen a curb. This truly is a rare opportunity to own a full surviving future classic.

The interior is every bit as flashy as the '50s styling, but now you get a whole lot more modern features and comfort. It starts with the black and red sports bucket seats. We don't believe this car has gone around with its top down much, so when you decide to do so, the red leather is still so vibrant that it matches the exterior for that highly stylized appearance. The driver gets a modern take on the Thunderbird logo on the steering wheel, and beyond that are white-faced gauges that also carry a cool retro style. This comes loaded with everything you could want, including premium AM/FM/CD stereo, power seats, power windows, power locks, power steering, keyless entry, cruise control, and ice-cold air conditioning. Owing a modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. If you do happen to take this out for a sunny-day cruise, there is a folding cloth top to keep everything secure when you need it.

Ford's reliable and smooth 4.0-liter DOHC V8 was the choice for the Lincolns and Jaguars of the time, and so it was the perfect powerplant for this T-Birds. As expected with a car that has not even reached the fourth digit on the odometer, this is the original motor and it has been well maintained. But if you do decide to take this ultra-low mileage collectable out on the road, you will be rewarded. The V8 was designed to have low-end power to be great in traffic, and it also has plenty left in the reserve to keep you effortlessly cruising on the highway. This is also why it's mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. This is a personal luxury car like its ancestors, but it comes with more modern driving features. The fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Falken tires means you can be confident on any road.

This has been maintained to be the ultimate collectable T-Bird. It even comes with the original window sticker, warranty car, and owner's manual. You could try to search for a Thunderbird that's more factory fresh than this one, but by the time you realize this is the best of everything, it might already be gone. Call today!!!
