2002 Ford Thunderbird Emerging from a hiatus of several years, Ford introduced the 11th generation Thunderbird in 2002. Returning to the original formula for the Thunderbird, the latest version had the two-seat coupe/convertible layout of the first generation. And the retro styling was complemented by the Jaguar-designed 3.9 litre DOHC V8 powerplant, producing 252bhp and 267 lb·ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. From the first year of production, this stunning black on black example is offered in excellent all-round condition. A repainted front bumper cover, due to stone chips, is the only evidence of body repair, and you have to look closely to see that. The interior is excellent with very minor wear to the leather surfaces and carpet. The soft top is in excellent condition. The mechanicals are all excellent with a taut and responsive engine, smooth transmission, and good brakes, suspension and steering. All electrical systems work perfectly. The car features a CD player and chrome wheels with good tires The car shows 164, 000 miles, but the carfax shows a jump of 70, 000 miles in a very short timeframe. The condition of this T/bird is that of a car with considerably less mileage, and two independent mechanics have agreed with that. The accelerator pedal shows the wear of a car with less than half the indicated mileage, as do details around the car, such as the drivers seat, engine bay, etc. I have not been able to get to the bottom of the story, but the car really is in stunning condition, and well worth inspection. I feel it is priced accordingly, and a great opportunity for a deal.
