For Sale: 2003 Ford Thunderbird in Concord, North Carolina

This 2003 Ford Thunderbird is a modern classic offered with all the best features, V8 power, and even a rare single year color. So when something so appealing is also so affordable, it's time to take notice.

These retro-cool T-Birds only get better in pastel colors. After all, the Desert Sky Blue on this one just instantly reminds you of the 1950s original Thunderbird. Since this color was only offered in 2003, less than 1,800 examples of this were ever made. This kind of rarity makes you glad to see it so well preserved on this one. These final generation Thunderbirds really did a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of the original with the long profile, hood scoop, subtle fender vents, and afterburner-style taillights. There are even great mirror-like brightwork elements, like the grille and the seven-spoke factory alloys. It all comes together to deliver a terrific retro package built to modern quality standards.

Another piece that showed these respected their history is the color-matched iconic hardtop with porthole side windows. Even when that's not in place, the black folding top goes up with just the touch of a button. If you like the way the black looks against the vibrant blue exterior, then you're going to love the full black interior. Not only is this handsome, but also it shows more signs that this car has led a well-respected life. The leather bucket seats look great and provide you and you passenger with individual comfort. Yours even power adjusts to the ideal position. Plus, you've got a long list of desirable features, like power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual front airbags, side airbags, premium AM/FM/CD stereo, and cruise control. And with dual zone automatic climate control and heated seats, you can enjoy top-down motoring and stay comfortable just about any time of year.

A proper Thunderbird commands plenty of V8 power. For a modern machine like this, that means the 3.9-liter motor. It's a fuel-injected DOHC V8, and that means a car that fires up readily, idles smoothly, and delivers plenty of power when you want it. This is believed to be the original motor to the car, and you can see by the exceptionally clean engine bay that this has been treated with the same level of respect as the rest of the car. You'll love using this to drive near or far because the five-speed automatic transmission is a versatile overdrive unit. Plus, you have power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and a fully-independent suspension. So this may look like a vintage car, but it certainly has modern moves.

You're looking at a well-respected and well-presented rare final-generation Thunderbird. So if you like classic looks and modern convenience, don't miss the deal. Call now!
