2002 Ford Thunderbird

Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is excited to offer this gorgeous two-owner turquoise 2002 Ford Thunderbird. Ford's 11th generation T-bird was available from 2002 through 2005, and was based on Ford's "DEW" platform, which was shared with the Lincoln LS and the Jaguar S-Type and XF. Jaguar designed the 3.9L V8, which sent power through Ford's 5R55N 5-speed automatic transmission. When the final generation Ford Thunderbird was released, it was following a then-current trend for nostalgic recreations of retro styling that was in vogue at the time and included "new" generation offerings from several manufacturers. Take, for example, the new Volkswagen New Beetle, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler and Mini Cooper, all of which either used design cues from the originals or were entirely "new/retro" (like the Prowler and PT Cruiser). This generation T-bird was only available only as a convertible, but had an optional removable hardtop, which most buyers opted for. According to automotive writer Jerry Flint, the new Thunderbird "turned heads wherever it went" and it's still doing it to this day. Inside this beautiful turquoise T-bird, one will note styling cues from Lincoln and Jaguar, especially in the dash area, instrument panel, and steering wheel. The interior on this T-bird shows very well, and it is obvious that its owner has taken great care of it, with the carpet looking like new, and the two-tone black and turquoise leather seating showing almost no signs of wear. This is a fine example of the 11th generation Thunderbird, and includes cold A/C, AM/FM/CD Radio, Aluminum Wheels, Anti-Lock Brakes, Anti-theft system, Manual Convertible top, Cruise Control, Driver and Passenger Airbags, Leather Interior, Lumbar Support, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Seats, Power Steering, Power Windows, Radial Tires, Rear Defogger, Seatbelts, Tilt Wheel, and Traction Control.
