Vehicle Description
2002 Ford Thunderbird Roadster
Ford revived more than an American icon when it boldly resurrected
its unique Thunderbird sports/personal car for 2002. It also, as
events would have it, reprised an historic Motor Trend Car of the
Year win. Our forefathers here named the '58 T-Bird-the first of
the larger, four-seat versions-as Car of the Year, hailing "the
overall concept...that combines safety with performance and comfort
with compactness." For 2002, we're happy to bestow that honor
again, recognizing today's Thunderbird for how it combines heritage
with modernity and pleasure with practicality.
For consignment, a first year retro, low mileage, (39,308), fully
equipped car. This car presents in very nice condition, with the
usual blemishes one would expect on a car from 2002 with 39K miles
on it. A hardtop and soft top version so you can drive it and have
fun year-round and a hardtop cart and car cover for proper
storage.
Exterior
Evening Black quietly stands proudly and shouts out it is in very
nice condition with straight steel, and well minded gaps. A power
convertible, in very good condition raises and lowers quickly and
effortlessly with only minor staining of the canvas. If you want
more protection, put the available hard top complete with the
harken back to the 50's porthole window, and tinted glass on either
side. This hard top is also Evening Black...let me get my tuxedo.
Chrome cast aluminum wheels are noted on all 4 corners and are
wrapped in new blackwall 17" tires.
Interior
The dual bucket interior in black leather, wraps numerous surfaces,
and appears like new. No errors here on the carpet, headliner of
the hardtop, or dash surfaces. White faced gauges with black
numbers and indicators are embedded into the curvaceous dash and
are fronted by an original steering wheel. Dual temp zones, an
AM/FM/6 CD Stereo, power seats, power locks, and power windows,
along with a power tilt and extending steering wheel column are
some of the options on this highly appointed car.
Drivetrain
A 3.9 Liter Dual Overhead Cam V8 sits within a clean engine bay.
This is attached to a 5R55N 5-speed automatic transmission that
shifts quietly and smoothly. A 3.58 conventional rear axle is on
the back.
Undercarriage
Clean rust free and structurally sound no problems here. We can
note 4-wheel independent suspension, 4-wheel power disc brakes with
ABS, and dual exhaust with what appear to be the original mufflers.
Our consignor states that the fuel pump and brakes were recently
replaced.
Drivability
A quick starting procedure and on the test track this car performs
beautifully. No issues crept up on my drive and all functions
performed swimmingly. A true pleasure to drive.
A first-year reintroduction Bird with some nifty chrome wheels, in
Evening Black, with a hardtop attachment, and a soft top. Talk
about fun all year round. Yours for the taking, and you better act
fast since this matches my tuxedo so very well.
