2002 Ford Thunderbird 1st in Indiana One Owner 15.5k Miles Yellow Leather
2002 Ford Thunderbird Description
2002 Ford Thunderbird Inspiration Yellow with Yellow and Black Leather Seats. Removable Yellow Hardtop Black Softtop. All other options as far as I know.
Selling Grandma's Thunderbird. It was the first Thunderbird sold in Indiana. Grandpa worked for Ford they also bought the first Thunderbird in 1955. When she bought this one in 2002 the Indianapolis Star wrote upanarticle about her buying both the first Thunderbirds that article is included with the sale. She actually paid $10,000 over the sticker price just so she could have the first one. I have the tag showing that. I'm 99% sure she paid the total price almost two years before it was delivered.
The car has 15,556 miles as of today. It is in great shape. No dents that I can see. Never been wrecked. (edit now I found out she did bump another lil old lady in 2008. There was apparently no damage though) There is one scratch about an inch right above thelicenseplate holder you can see in the pictures. Pretty sure that the movers pushed the hardtop stand up into it when they wereemptyingher house and scratched it. Other than that I can see nothing wrong with it. Always maintained by Don Hinds Ford the dealership she bought it from. They even came out to her house and took the hardtop off and put it on the stand. In the last couple months it had the fuel pump replaced for $1000 also a new battery. Runs and drives great. No mechanical problems that I know of.
Has the yellow hardtop, black soft top. The rolling storage stand for the hardtop also a soft cover for when the soft top is down. It snaps in place I think.
Extras included Thunderbird book, diecast model car, various articles, original windshield sticker, photos, and some other paperwork. She really loved this car. She kept all the info and paperwork the dealership gave her. I would guess these will become collector cars in the near future, and someday all this paperwork should add to the value.
With the low miles the car was rarely driven. She had two other cars she drove while keeping this for special occasions. Never out in the snow or rain. I doubt this car ever went more the 20 miles from her house or above 50mph. Always filled up with the premium gas from the Shell by her house. Now she lives in a retirement home and isn't able to drive. I know everyone tells the one owner lil old lady story, but in this instance I assure you it is true.
Feel free to ask any questions. Car is currently in my garage. If you would like to view it I will do my best to meet up with you. If it's shipped I will be happy to meet with the shippers and help if needed. I will be out of town Friday & Saturday May 20-21 at a car show. Cash is prefered. Any form of check will need to be looked at by the bank before the car goes.
