The Good....
Body is fantastic shape, one small "impression" on the passenger back fender" see photo..
Tires about 50%
All factory wheels in great condition.
Both Tops
Convertible top appears to be almost unused, seldom even put up.
The convertible top boot cover has never been used, still in plastic wrap.
Engine runs great, transmission shifts smooth and brakes work fine.
The Bad.....
Needs all four Struts.
Passenger mirror glass.
Two or three cylinder coils.
Two or three lights on the dash come on because of the bad struts.
Drivers seat worn, but was repaired at some point, see pictures.
For the year and the miles, the car is in great shape. We have priced the car to sell as is.... If we don't sell it at this fantastic price, we will replace the struts and make the car 100%. However, we have priced the car at less than the value of the parts to give someone the opportunity to buy and enjoy a very collectible car at half price.
The Ford Thunderbird is a car manufactured in the United States by the Ford Motor Company. Ford described it as a personal luxury car.
2002-2005 "Retro Birds"
In 2002 a newThunderbird launched; this Retro Bird was again a two-seater and received the model's third Motor Trend Car of the Year honor. It was also nominated for the North American Car of the Year award that year.
The new Thunderbird was based on the Ford DEW platform, shared with the Lincoln LS. It followed the recent trend for nostalgic recreations of old-fashioned (or "retro") styling (see VW New Beetle, Chrysler PT Cruiser), being a recreation of the 1955-1957 two-seat Thunderbird in a modern style. Available only as a convertible with a removable hardtop and, according to automotive writer Jerry Flint, the new Thunderbird "turned heads wherever it went."
Though the Retro Bird body styling never changed, exterior and interior color packaging was inconsistent from year to year. For 2002, the car was available in bright red ("torch red"), bright yellow ("inspiration yellow"), and turquoise ("Thunderbird blue"), all reminiscent of 1950s colors. Furthermore, "retro" two-tone interiors (black and the color matching the exterior), were paired with these exterior colors.
