INTRODUCTION: Only 292 actual miles, 1 collector owner! The 007
James Bond Edition is widely regarded as the most desirable and
collectible of all the modern Thunderbirds, and this is one of the
finest examples in existence. It has had just one owner, a serious
Ford collector we have known personally for decades, who purchased
the car new and preserved it as a collectible from day one. This
Thunderbird has been carefully stored, meticulously maintained, and
remains pristine throughout. It comes with extensive documentation,
original books, manuals, and accessories. In fact, the owner's
manuals and top boot have never even been removed from their
original packaging. Opportunities to acquire a genuine 007 Edition
in this level of preservation are exceedingly rare.
EXTERIOR: The first thing that grabs your attention is the stunning
Sunset Coral paint, a color exclusive to the 007 James Bond Edition
and inspired by the Thunderbird featured in Die Another Day driven
by Halle Berry. Combined with the unique 21-spoke chrome wheels
available only on this model, it gives the car a look unlike any
other Thunderbird. Beyond its exclusive appearance, Ford did an
outstanding job blending modern styling with unmistakable
Thunderbird heritage. The egg crate grille, round headlights and
taillights, scooped hood, and iconic white porthole hardtop all pay
tribute to the legendary 1955 Thunderbird while incorporating
modern refinement. This also includes a black cloth power
convertible top giving it two completely different personalities.
The car remains in virtually brand new, all original condition.
INTERIOR: The striking Performance White leather interior
immediately commands your attention and sets this Thunderbird apart
from any ordinary roadster. Exclusive to the 007 Edition, it
features unique machine turned aluminum trim accented by a special
commemorative plaque identifying this car as No. 36 of only 700
produced. The design beautifully captures the spirit of the
original Thunderbird while incorporating modern luxury and
technology. The comfortable power heated seats, power tilt and
telescoping steering column, dual zone automatic climate control,
cruise control, power windows, locks and mirrors, premium audio
system, and keyless entry provide all the conveniences expected in
a luxury touring car. The retro dual cockpit dashboard, chrome
ringed gauges, and color coordinated interior details pay homage to
the iconic Thunderbirds of the 1950s while delivering a thoroughly
modern driving experience. The interior is virtually pristine and
all original.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Lift the hood and you'll find Ford's smooth and
responsive 3.9-liter DOHC V8 producing 280 horsepower. Aluminum
construction, four-valve cylinder heads, sequential fuel injection,
electronic throttle control, and coil-on-plug ignition delivers
strong performance with refined manners. What really sets this car
apart is its remarkable preservation, the engine compartment is
virtually untouched and exceptionally clean.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Open the trunk and you'll find a compartment
that looks virtually untouched, reflecting the car's incredibly low
mileage. Lift the trunk floor and you'll find the original spare,
it has never been removed.
UNDERSIDE:UNDERSIDE: Having spent its life in a climate controlled
indoor environment and accumulated fewer than 300 actual miles, it
retains a like new appearance throughout. The fully independent
suspension at all four corners provides the smooth ride and
handling these cars are known for, while power rack-and-pinion
steering delivers precise control. The four wheel disc brake system
with ABS offers confident stopping power, and all of the factory
components appear exactly as Ford intended. Looking underneath,
you'll find the original dual exhaust system in outstanding
condition along with the 5-speed automatic transmission and
independent rear suspension with its aluminum center section.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: We see tremendous value in this Thunderbird. In today's
market, what we're asking for a genuine 007 Edition with only 292
actual miles is remarkably reasonable considering its rarity,
condition, provenance, and collectibility. Whether you choose to
continue preserving it as a collector piece or finally start
enjoying it on the road, it's a special car that offers the best of
both worlds. You get all the nostalgia and style of a classic
Thunderbird without the worries that often come with owning an
older collector car. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the
most desirable modern Thunderbirds ever built.
