Vehicle Description
2005 Ford Thunderbird 50th Anniversary DGC3435 VIN
IFAHP6OAXSY103435 This Thunderbird is beautiful. You can tell
looking at it. It's had good care. It's not perfect, but you might
think so after looking at it. It came out of California and it now
has 104,000 miles. I just had Corvette Alley and Anacortes do the
service and safety check and they just ran and raved about how nice
this Thunderbird is. It has Bridgestone tires with lots of tread.
The gold anniversary special paint really set this Thunderbird off.
Everything works well except the radio at this point.
