Vehicle Description
This 2002 Ford Thunderbird was bought to be a classic from day one.
With only 1870 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 117 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 just
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
