For Sale: 2005 Ford Thunderbird in Lutz, Florida

When it debuted back in 1955, the Ford Thunderbird was a fun-loving two-seat roadster that captured the hearts and minds of auto enthusiasts (and non-enthusiasts) everywhere. And while subsequent generations of the T-Bird each had their strengths and weaknesses, it wasn't until the eleventh generation that Ford rediscovered the charm of being America's Personal Luxury Car. Half a century later, we are treated to this 2005 Ford Thunderbird. While not an official Anniversary Edition, this final-year T-Bird still commemorates the iconic roadster's half-century birthday with a subtle chrome hood accent blade. With only 34,356 actual miles on its odometer, this Thunderbird comes decked out in its Bronze Metallic paint, complete with a full PPF application, making it look almost new, and just as collectible as any other T-Bird in history.

Inside, we find a stock and elegant Light Oak Imola leather interior. A center console featuring dual cupholders separates a pair of power and heated bucket seats. Power windows, locks, mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel make this generation far more livable on a day-to-day basis than the original version of the T-Bird it was based on. A six-disc in-dash CD changer pumps sound through the 8-speaker, dual-subwoofer premium stereo system and is powerful enough to be heard whether you are going with the power soft top up or down or the removable body-color hardtop on or off.

Under the hood, we find an original-looking 3.9-liter Jaguar-built DOHC AJ30 V-8 with variable valve timing and electronic throttle control. In stock form, this engine produces 280 horsepower and 286 pound-feet of torque, which are routed through its 5R55S five-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the rear wheels via the 3.58-rear-end.
