Vehicle Description
This 2004 Ford Thunderbird offers a great mix of vintage heritage
and modern technology and with just under 57,000 miles on its
odometer, it's got plenty of future open-air driving excitement to
offer. Its exterior is clad in a distinct, ultra-appealing nice
shade and it comes complete with an extensive array of features to
provide a great experience behind the wheel.
This T-Bird's Ice Blue color is a definite winner - it's lighter
than nearly any shade of blue you'll encounter, yet no one will
mistake it for silver, either. It's in fine form here, sporting a
nice even pigment and even shine from front to back. While this is
a relatively modern car, it still offers an unmistakable visual
homage to the model-defining T-Birds that came along in the '50s,
not only in the form of its compact two seater configuration, but
also its subtle hood scoop, front fender vents and grille. With
modern refinements added to the mix, it's certainly got a visual
identity all its own, sporting a more aerodynamic shape and a more
sharply angled windshield than any of its vintage predecessors.
It's undeniably sharp looking in open-air form, but should you find
yourself out on the road in less forgiving weather, you'll have
both a black power convertible top and a nicely matching accessory
hardtop at your disposal for protection.
Take a look inside and you'll see that the interior has been
treated with respect over the years. Both the front buckets and
rear bench seat still look fresh, showing only very light wear and
the door panels are free of the pressure point discoloration that
often comes from normal everyday use. Despite the color's tendency
toward UV sensitivity, the black leather surfaces have come through
the years in strong fashion, so you won't find any noticeable signs
of fading on the seating or the top of the dash. The assortment of
white-faced gauges in the instrument cluster provide a nice
contrast with their surroundings and still have all of their
clarity intact. Ford equipped their 11th generation T-Birds with
plenty of comfort and convenience features, so you'll find air
conditioning, power heated seats, a column that not only tilts but
also telescopes into perfect position, cruise control, remote door
openers and power windows and door locks. An AM/FM/CD player stands
by in the center of the dash to cater to your audio needs and, with
the minor repair of a control button on the console, you'll also
have satellite connectivity at your disposal. The trunk area in
back is in good order, save for a minor surface stain that should
be fairly easy to remove.
The 3.9-liter DOHC engine sitting under the hood carries 280
horsepower - more than enough to propel this relatively lightweight
drop top forward with enthusiasm - while the powerplant's compact
size equates to solid gas mileage on both city and highway. It sits
at the center of a very clean engine compartment that still has its
showroom look, and teams with a smooth shifting 5-speed automatic
overdrive transmission to make up a low-effort drivetrain that
makes stop and go traffic palatable, yet also provides the
performance you're looking for on the open road. With anti-lock
power disc brakes at all four corners pairing with smooth power
steering, this open-air Ford is a pleasure to drive as it cruises
on a set of stock 17" Thunderbird wheels outfitted with Sumitomo
tires. A look below reveals a straight and solid undercarriage.
With its venerable heritage, appealing style and very strong
running condition, this 2004 Ford Thunderbird promises plenty of
future driving fun. Call today!
