2002 Thunderbird: 15,528 original miles
While the 1955-57 Thunderbirds were originally Ford’s response to the Corvette, the T-bird (as it quickly became known) was designed to be a comfortable driving vehicle rather than a competition car. Our 2002 Premium Edition is a tribute to the vision encompassed in the ’55-’57 models but updated with the modern conveniences and reliability that we have come to appreciate in our cars.
A Beautiful Car
This Premium Edition Thunderbird looks and runs much like it did when it left the showroom back in 2002, just 15,528 miles ago. The car has its original window sticker and a clean CarFax report documenting its mileage and 2-owner history. The car has always been registered and garaged in Virginia by its two owners.
The car bears the Thunderbird Blue finish, and the paint is in excellent condition.
The underside of the Thunderbird is free of rust and corrosion other than normal surface rust.
The Premium Edition Nudo Leather leather and vinyl interior is in very nice condition from the padded dash to its seats—and everything in between.
The Premium Edition black factory canvas convertible top is in very nice condition and the heated rear window is clear and free of any discoloration.
The factory hardtop is also in very nice condition, headliner and all.
The car is powered by the 3.9 DOHC V-8 that was a reliable and powerful Ford engine. The car starts right up and runs the way you would expect. If you opened the hood to the engine bay on a new T-bird in 2002, it wouldn’t have looked much different than this car does today: bright and clean.
This T-bird is equipped with Ford’s 5-speed automatic transmission which shifts properly, allowing the driver to enjoy the trip, particularly when confronted with the increasing amount of traffic in most urban/suburban areas.
All of the safety equipment works--horn, wipers lights, signals, as do the gauges, warning lights, tachometer, and speedometer. The car’s 5 tires—replaced 3,000+- miles ago-- have little wear.
The luxury equipment includes power windows, power seats, air conditioning, etc. The car’s steering wheel automatically retracts and tilts to make entering or exiting easier.
Its CarFax confirms:
Back to the ‘50s in Retro Style
Ford Motor Company made the Thunderbird into a luxurious way to go to the country club, Saturday night dinner or even to the grocery store. This “tribute” series introduced by Ford in 2002 was aptly dubbed the “Retro-bird” because it harkened back to the ’55-’57 T-birds but came equipped with all of the safety and modern conveniences that we have come to demand in our vehicles.
Whether on the local show fields or re-dedicated to its original purpose: an absolutely wonderful personal driving experience, this fifteen thousand mile Thunderbird is for you!
