Vehicle Description
The 2005 Ford Thunderbird was both the car's 50th anniversary and
final production year. It represents the kind of bookend classic
that made it a collectible from the moment it left Motown. This
kind of pedigree only gets more desirable on a V8 cruiser with one
of the best-coordinated color combos around.
It's almost assured this is the last of the Thunderbirds. Ford can
never again match the level of classic details with the long
boulevard proportions, a hint of sporty hood scoop, and the right
touches of chrome that look so good against the piano-like back
paint. The tan convertible top has a timeless elegance against the
black, and the two-tone pinstripe does a nice job of making this a
uniform package. This example has only averaged about 2,600 miles
annually. That keeps it well out of daily commuter range, and you
see that kind of quality in the fit and finish. That means a sleek
style that looks great as the sunshine rolls over the retro-cool
curves. But this wasn't meant to be a museum piece, and so you
won't be afraid to take it out of the garage when the time is
right. After all, there's something extra special about taking the
top down on a warm summer night and letting the car pick your
destination.
While the pinstripe matches the tan convertible top, there's a good
reason why it's a two-tone, and that gets understood the moment you
take the top down. This has the optional Light Sand interior
package, and so you get more of the beautiful tan on the seats,
steering wheel, gearshift, and carpet piping. And the other color
of the pinstripe goes well with the touch of golden inserts on the
doors and dash. It gives you an impressive level of color
coordination, and that just seems like the right way to celebrate
the T-bird's 50th anniversary. This one is not only desirable but
also for its substance. It's loaded with a premium AM/FM/CD stereo,
a power driver's seat, power convertible top, power windows, power
locks, power steering, alarm system, dual front airbags, heated
seats, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic A/C climate control.
Just like the exterior, this one keeps the right mix of a stylish
presentation that also doesn't want to be a display piece. So you
happily sit down in the supple leather seat, grab the Thunderbird
logo steering wheel, and watch the full gauge package dance as you
hit the open road.
The 3.9-liter DOHC motor was the right choice for this Thunderbird.
It upholds the tradition of V8-powered cars, and this was even
shared with premium brands like Lincolns. This powerhouse shows all
the right signs of proper care and originality, which just fits
with the cherished driver feeling you get throughout the car. The
V8 fires up with the ease you expect from a modern motor, and
there's a smoothness out on the road that makes it a true personal
cruiser. Add in the five-speed automatic transmission, fully
independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and
you can understand why this one is ideal for hitting the
boulevard.
Complete with the owner's manual, this distinct final-year
thunderbird has pedigree and rarity. So when it's also this
affordable, you know it won't be with us long. Call today!!!
