Vehicle Description
A convergence of fortunate events creates a great opportunity in
the form of this 2004 Ford Thunderbird. For starters, it's avoided
any notable collisions during its 14-year life span, and carries
the clean AutoCheck report to prove it. Then, there's its unusually
low low mileage at only 8,839, or just about 600 miles per year!
Top it all off with its array of great features and you have a car
that's well-positioned to provide open-air driving enjoyment for
miles and miles to come.
It doesn't take much in the way of incidental damage or simple
exposure to the elements to detract from the look of a black
exterior, but fortunately, in addition to having been driven with
care, this T-Bird looks to have also been well-sheltered during its
considerable downtime, and you'll find no glaring blemishes or
fading on the paint to pull focus from its great looking exterior.
And all of its badging and trim is in optimal form. Ford harkened
all the way back to the early days of the model when they
re-released the modern reboot, giving it a design that borrowed
from the more compact configurations of its mid-'50s heyday -
namely, the two-seater configuration, front grille, front fender
vents and subtle hood scoop. Low to the ground and streamlined,
it's an inspired looking roadster that offers the option of open
air cruising down the highway, but with the protection from the
elements of a still new-looking black vinyl top that raises
promptly into place with the flick of a switch. For a more
sheltered experience, a black accessory hardtop is also included,
featuring a pair of porthole windows also reminiscent of its
vintage predecessors.
The tan leather interior has benefitted mightily from light usage.
Its relatively light color itself is a plus, especially in a
convertible as it absorbs less heat than darker shades, and its
pairing with the black outside is a great match. There's not much
evidence of wear inside and the sharp-looking bucket seats look
very much as they did when this Ford left the lot. Post-millennial
cars generally carry more features than those before them, and this
one is no exception, as it has air conditioning, heated seats, a
steering column that not only tilts but telescopes into the perfect
driving position, cruise control, power windows and power door
locks. With factory subwoofers mounted in back, its AM/FM/CD player
sounds particularly impressive and driver and passenger airbags add
a welcome measure of safety should the unforeseen happen. The trunk
area in back looks as if it's seen no action at all.
Being so fresh, the drivetrain is just now broken in and entering
its prime. The 3.9-liter engine sitting in an unusually clean bay -
even for a car having logged so few miles - is a smooth running
performer yielding in excess of 250 horsepower to make for smile
inducing acceleration. The compact V8 pairs with a 5-speed
automatic overdrive transmission that shifts with just the
precision you'd expect. Factor in precise power steering and
4-wheel anti-lock power disc brakes and you have a car with really
nice modern driving features that also represents a fitting nod to
droptop Fords of the past that cruises on a set of 17" cast
aluminum wheels outfitted with Michelin tires. Below, the
undercarriage looks very fresh, and you can clearly see the pair of
braces Ford employed to add outstanding rigidity to this
post-millennial convertible.
With great curb appeal that effectively carries classic styling
cues into the present, extremely low mileage, and unusually clean
condition, this 2004 Ford Thunderbird is a rare find. Call
