Vehicle Description

2002 Ford Thunderbird

Exterior

With nicely rounded panels sporting hints of the styling from the

earlier 1955 birds, we see straight steel panels bathed in Whisper

White paint...shhhhh! There are scratches and a few dings

throughout, but nothing out of the ordinary from the usual usage

one would pick up over time. Round headlights with a nice shiny top

bezel, flank an oval chromed egg crate grille, again reminiscent of

days and models of yore. A scoop for the hood, and wide shiny

highly polished front window trimming fronts the hardtop mounted on

for the pictures. This has the iconic porthole window, is body

matching Whisper White, and can be easily removed and stored for

convertible motoring. Certainly not the jet engines from the 60s

birds, but nicely rounded inset taillights and a body matching

bumper below. 17-inch multi spoke fan style wheels are on all 4

corners.

Interior

With a swing of the stylish doors we can note Midnight Black

leather seats with black inserts. The leather seats are holding up

well with age appropriate wear and are firmly planted within black

vinyl tubs. Otherwise, seats are nice and clean, and have plenty of

padded supports. Up the center races a sporty console in black,

armrest, cupholders and the shift lever are seen here. Upfront the

dash is all original with the original AM/FM/CD changer installed

in the center of the dash. A black glossy shift knob, steering

wheel, and white faces gauges break up some of the matte black that

the dash is made up of. All clean overall with nice black carpet on

the floors and the headliner for the hardtop is like new as is the

convertible top hidden from view of the photos.

Drivetrain

A 3.9 Liter dual overhead cam V8 sits within a clean engine bay.

This is attached to a 5R55N 5-speed automatic transmission that

shifts quietly and smoothly transferring power to a 3.58 geared

rear axle in conventional form... (speak softly and carry a big

stick!)

Undercarriage

A few splatters of road dirt, patina, and spots of surface rust but

otherwise clean and surface rust free. Independent Macpherson strut

suspension is on all 4 corners as are power disc brakes. The

factory dual exhaust system is noted with surface rust from stem to

stern.

Drive-Ability

As one would expect from the exterior and interior appearance, this

bird fired right up, and performed well on the test track. Smooth

acceleration, straight bias free braking, and good cornering

capabilities. All functions were working just swimmingly.

A first-year reintroduction Bird with some nifty aluminum wheels,

in Whisper White, with a hardtop attachment. A classic inspired but

newly designed T-Bird, throwing us back to the two seat days,

convertible top and hardtop, and nice leather with plenty of

convenience options. Its time to relive the personal car of

distinction lifestyle!
