Launched in 2002 at the height of the retro boom, the eleventh-generation Thunderbird heavily evoked the model's first variant with vintage elegance. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird is finished in Thunderbird Blue with a matching removable hardtop and black convertible soft top over a black leather interior. It is powered by a 3.9L V8 and features a five-speed automatic transmission, 17″ chrome wheels, and power-adjustable seats. Thoroughly serviced and well documented, this Thunderbird is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Ohio showing approximately 10k miles on the odometer.
The eleventh-generation Thunderbird is heavily inspired by the first-generation model, and similarities can be seen in the egg-crate grille, chromed windshield surround, hood scoop, and round taillights. This Thunderbird is finished in Thunderbird Blue with a matching removable hardtop along with a black convertible soft top. Details include integrated fog lights, Thunderbird-script badges, a dual-outlet exhaust system, and chrome 17″ seven-spoke chrome wheels. The wheels are dressed in tires with 2002 date codes. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the power-adjustable front bucket seats are upholstered in Midnight Black leather with Thunderbird logo embroidery. Black carpets line the floors while aluminum-look trim accents the dashboard and door panels. The premium Black Appearance package adds high-gloss black trim to the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter surround. Amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an 8-speaker Audiophile sound system with an in-dash six-CD changer, and more. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are reported to be working properly.
Power comes from a Jaguar-designed AJ-30 3.9L DOHC V8 engine driving the rear wheels by way of a 5-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel independent suspension and power-assisted 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes are standard. The seller notes that service in June 2022 included the replacement of front sway bar links, rear sway bar links, and replacement of all dry-rotted bushings. Additionally, a new battery was installed in April 2023.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: "Introducing our 2002 Ford Thunderbird: a testament to timeless design and enduring elegance. In my care since June 2022, this vintage beauty has been meticulously cared for to ensure both safety and performance. Over the course of my ownership, I conducted a safety check and addressed essential maintenance tasks in accordance with the vehicle's mileage. This Thunderbird retains its original allure and authenticity. From its distinct contours to its factory-standard features, the car stands out as a pristine example of its era. Though the years have passed, it remains steadfastly in stock condition. The journey of maintenance has been well-documented, with gallery images and a comprehensive repair order history capturing every pivotal moment. Attention has been given to key components such as the sway bar link, addressing issues to ensure optimal handling and stability. Dry rotted bushings, a common concern with vehicles of this age, have been thoughtfully tended to, safeguarding the driving experience. Moreover, the tie rod end dust boot maintenance has been dutifully undertaken, reflecting a commitment to thorough care. As I share this introduction, it is my hope that fellow enthusiasts and admirers of automotive excellence can appreciate the passion and dedication poured into maintaining this 2002 Ford Thunderbird. With a history of responsible ownership, meticulous upkeep, and a steadfast commitment to its authenticity, this classic ride continues to grace the road with its timeless charm.”

@Firewood @eurocol
Thank you both for the compliments on the car. This great Thunderbird is offered AS-IS and represented in its current condition. While I agree with both of your points on the age of the tires, the photos provided in the gallery are the tires on the vehicle. We believe them to be the original. Thanks!
Very best-looking TBird! Will the car come with new tires? Dangerous to be driving around on rubber over 20 years old. Thanks & best wishes for a good sale!

Lovely color on a good looking car,
however despite "reflecting a commitment to thorough care" you have not replaced the 21 year old tires!.
Please confirm that your "commitment to thorough care" will include a new set of tires dated 2023.
thank you
thanks

@DLC Thanks for the question. It made me realize there should be more photographs in this gallery. I just contacted pcar about the issue. Photographs were taken of the hardtop, on the stand, while off the vehicle, so hopefully more images will get added to the gallery shortly. Thanks!
