For Sale: 2002 Ford Thunderbird in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Convertible has one of the boldest color combos around. So to discover a loaded and distinct V8 T-bird like this is truly a terrific find. The affordable price is just the cherry on top.

A Thunderbird dressed in black has an instant premium. And not only do you have factory bright pieces like the grille and wheels, but also there's added trim along the sides and wheel arches. It's an overall driver-quality look, and so that's ideal for those who want a car that's easy to enjoy on road trips. And those looking for perfection will recognize that the value price will leave options in your budget. That's because there's a fundamental attractiveness in this car. It has averaged under 3,300 miles annually. The panels are straight, the trim is nice, and the gaps are good. So, there's an overall respect you see in a car that has not spent the last 20 years as a long-haul commuter. As you continue to look over the full car, you'll also see that the color combo is at the heart of its appeal. It looks especially elegant when the color-matched porthole hardtop is in place, but you may just choose to use the red folding roof because it has such a distinct style.

The soft top is also a preview of what awaits you inside. Black was one of the factory colors that was allowed to have the optional red accent interior. This bold and striking inside really sets the car apart and lets you know people are going to be drawn to it for decades to come. This continues to look so vibrant, because while this car has been driven, you can recognize an overall level of care. You'll also love this because it's a loaded personal luxury car. That means supple leather, a power driver's seat, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, side airbags, cruise control, a tilt/telescopic steering column, and a premium AM/FM stereo with in-dash six-disc CD changer. A power convertible top and power windows open this one up to the world with ease. Plus, here's dual-zone automatic A/C climate control to keep you feeling cool even when the roof is down.

The 3.9-liter V8 was a development between Jaguar and Ford. So it has a well-done engineering background mixed with a sporty feeling. The fuel-injected 32-valve DOHC setup means a car that starts eagerly, idles smoothly, and is pleasingly responsive. The five-speed automatic transmission is an ideal pairing that offers nice gearing for acceleration and overdrive comfort. In fact, with a fully independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, this may look like a first-gen Thunderbird, but it handles like a proper modern luxury cruiser.

Complete with owner's manual, this is the first year for the final-gen T-bird, and this one celebrates it boldly. So if you want a modern classic that loves to be driven and stands out upon arrival, call today!
