The car offered is a 2003 11th generation Phase 2 Ford Thunderbird. Delivered in a beautiful metallic black, coupled with a black leather interior and 7-spoke chrome wheels reserved for the phase 2. This version has undergone many improvements, starting with its engine which has increased by more than 30 horsepower, developing 284 horsepower. It also benefits from an electric alpaca soft top with defrosting glass, a storage rack with wheels for its hard top, a windscreen net that is essential for windy rides and an aluminum luggage rack.
Imported in France more than 10 years ago, the model has known only 3 owners and counts 63,000 miles (100,000 kilometers). It is in very good mechanical, interior and exterior condition. An absolute rarity on the old continent, this 2003 T-Bird is for the bold who like to attract attention by owning a car that is new in terms of design and philosophy. A vehicle that is certainly under-priced.
At the beginning of the millennium, car design experienced a nostalgic trend wishing to pay tribute to the cars of the 50s in a retro style using pastel tones and rounded shapes of yesteryear. Volkswagen New Beetle, Chrysler PT Cruiser or Citroën C3 Pluriel, many manufacturers have given in to the neo-retro wave.
This is the case of Ford who decided in 2002 to revive an emblem of the 50's and more widely an icon of the American car with the 11th generation Thunderbird. Based on the same platform as the Lincoln LS and Jaguar Type-S, it offers a unique design, in total rupture with the codes of the Ford range at the time.
With a large chrome grille, a hood scoop, a hardtop with side windows and an optional tonneau cover, this revival of the iconic 1955 model will certainly leave no one indifferent, as its design is original and unexpected. The roadster will even be featured on the big screen alongside actress Halle Berry in the 2003 James Bond movie "Die Another Day".
Powered by a 252 horsepower Jaguar 3.9 liter V8 coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission, this Thunderbird is certainly not a super sporty Muscle-Car, but like its 50's forebear, it embodies a subtle balance between luxury and performance, allowing to navigate in a smooth and calm movement.
