Vehicle Description
Black cars are often the best collectibles. First-year models and
special editions are also highly prized. So what if you can find
all that and more? This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Neiman Marcus Edition
is a low-mileage and loaded two-owner example that has been treated
as a proper rare collectible since day one.
Neiman Marcus loves to offer premium fantasy, and occasionally
they'll even have their own special edition car as part of the
Christmas catalog. They offered 200 examples of the 11th generation
Thunderbird at the end of 2000 - before the car was in dealerships.
Without an example on hand, this was rumored to sell out within a
matter of hours. So if you weren't one of the few who were quick on
the button, this is the next best thing. After all, averaging less
than 1,700 miles annually means this one only came out of the
garage for special occasions. The car has been kept in a very well
preserved state, and so that means the panels and paint look
excellent right now. It doesn't have the scratches of being washed
every weekend, and collectors know that's the kind of advantage
where it looks impressive today, and it still gives you the option
of unlocking a concours-level finish with a professional detail.
All that piano-like black draws even more attention to the
brightwork. There's a bold shine on the classic-style grille, hood
scoop, and trim. The 21-spoke wheels also add to the brightness and
are part of the exclusive Neiman Marcus package. And while the
black folding roof looks terrific, for that added degree of
sophistication, this one also comes with a special sliver hardtop
featuring the iconic porthole windows.
The exclusive black and silver look of the exterior is also a
preview of the special edition's interior color theme. And not only
is the color theme exclusive, but also the subtle Neiman Marcus
badge on the dash is there to remind T-bird fans how special this
one is. It's a well-done driver's setup where the retro-cool gauges
are met with a leather-wrapped steering wheel with all the
essential controls at your fingertips. Your leather bucket seat
even power adjusts to the ideal position. This comes loaded with
everything you could want, including a power soft top, power locks,
keyless entry/alarm, power steering, cruise control, and an AM/FM
CD changer stereo. A modern classic also means modern safety with
dual front airbags and side airbags. For those times you do decide
to add to the low odometer, this one is ready for top-down motoring
with dual-zone climate control. That way you and your passenger get
to dial-in the ideal individual temperature to stay
comfortable.
Ford's modern and smooth 3.9-liter DOHC V8 was the choice for the
Lincolns and Jaguars of the era, and so it was the perfect choice
to also find a home in the T-bird. You can see from the fresh
presentation that this was properly cared for and maintained. That
means you get to fully enjoy the benefits of a fuel-injected V8
that has the perfect powerband to be a strong stoplight puller or
an all-day highway cruiser. This versatility is only heightened by
the five-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. This Thunderbird
is a personal luxury car like its ancestors, but it comes with more
modern driving features. The fully-independent suspension and
four-wheel power disc brakes w/ABS make this a highly capable
cruiser.
This is a true collectible that has been treated with true respect
from day one. It even comes with the original window sticker. So if
you know how special and rare this T-bird is, then you know you
need to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
