Vehicle Description
2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible 007
A 2002 Thunderbird was driven in the Bond film "Die Another Day" by
Bond girl Halle Berry (Jinx). In the spring of 2003, Ford sold 700
limited edition 007 Ford Thunderbirds to commemorate the first
appearance of a Thunderbird in the 40-year history of the James
Bond film franchise. The Special Coral Color matched Berry's
swimsuit, and is similar to the 1956 Sunset Coral offered in that
year's bird.
A mere 37,086 Consigner stated miles are clocked on this number 150
of 700. Seen here with white hardtop and in convertible mode (black
top), the car is in near showroom condition, and surely a
collectible at this low mileage. A Bond time capsule...James
Bond.
Exterior
All panels straight with gaps where they should be, virtually
unharmed with any dents or dings, and covered in Coral glory. A
white hardtop with the iconic porthole mimicking 50 styling is
removable to reveal a wind in the hair experience. All chrome and
bright work is in very fine condition, as well as all power
accessories. Convertible top appears unused and is actually dusty
from being sealed in its time capsule. 21 Spoke modern style chrome
wheels are on all fours. No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die....for
this car.
Interior
Spotless white horizontal ribbing leather bucket seats make up the
small but ergonomically styled passenger compartment. Luxurious
black carpet covers the flooring and rear deck behind the seating.
Dash contains white analog instrumentation, with a digital
mileage/trip meters. A 6-disc CD player as well as an AM/FM stereo
radio are molded into the center vertical console. An automatic
transmission shift lever sits between the driver and passenger. All
interior surfaces are immaculate, and unmarried. Also seen are
climate control instrumentation, heated seats, as well as automatic
convertible top up and down. Power windows, power locks, power
mirrors, variable delay auto off headlamps and power seats, are the
conveniences list. On steering wheel cruise control and sound
system controls adorn both sides. 007 aluminum appliques are on the
dash as well. "I'll do anything with a woman with a knife".
Drivetrain
A 3.9 Liter 32 Valve DOHC all aluminum V8 backed by a 5-speed
select shift automatic transmission with overdrive is seen in the
crowded but pristine engine bay. A glimpse of a dual exhaust system
with bright tips, 4-wheel ABS vented disc brakes, and a very clean
underside. "Well I like to do some things the old-fashioned
way".
Undercarriage
Clean and just like it rolled off the factory floor, all good
underneath. Independent McPherson strut suspension on all 4
corners, and a 3.58 conventional axle are looking fine..." There's
a saying in England; where there's smoke there's fire...".
Drive-Ability
An overall quick starter, smooth runner and nice handling
capabilities, this Coral colored car performed beautifully on the
test track and passed with flying colors. "I thought Christmas only
comes once a year?".
Since you only live twice, Classic Auto Mall offers for your eyes
only, this numbered edition of the Thunderball (sic) Bond Edition.
You can come in and drive it away and exclaim "never say never
again", but do it fast because your Dr. No will get wind of your
potential purchase and get to talking you out of it. However, you
can recover from this because as they say diamonds are forever!
....I'll have that shaken not stirred.
