2005 Ford Thunderbird Roadster

This retro-themed two-seat Thunderbird shares platforms and components with the Lincoln LS sedan, but comes wrapped in styling that\'s straight out of the mid-1960s. It comes only as a convertible, but an optional hardtop is offered for when the weather turns foul, and this car has it. In Steel Blue Metallic, the 2005 50th anniversary badged edition has a mere 19,668 title verified original miles on it.

Exterior
Steel Blue Metallic with matching hardtop with porthole throwback window installed, all in showroom condition graces the flowing lines of this retro skate. The grille, all chrome, and mechanicals, (door handles, trunk actuator etc) are all functioning and looking great as well. Its rounded design is a modern take on the original 2 seater bird from 1955, small, compact, sporty and definitely sexy. A mink coat for father is how it was referred to and this one is no exception. Body matching neoprene bumpers now replace the chrome of the original concept, but it still has shades of that early greatness which sold many units throughout its 2 seat reign. The car does have a power convertible top, which remains nearly showroom new and is made of canvas and sports a glass rear window. 5 spoke 17-inch alloy wheels are wrapped in 235/70R17 rubber all around.

Interior
Medium Steel Blue leather wrap the bucket seats inserts in tuck and roll design. The bolsters are in charcoal and give a tasteful two tone look to the interior and these power adjustable and heated seats. Luxurious black carpet covers the flooring and rear deck behind the seating. The dash contains white analog instrumentation with a digital mileage/trip meters. A 6 disc CD player as well as an AM FM stereo radio are molded into the center vertical light bulb shaped console. An automatic transmission shift lever topped with a blue metallic leather wrapping knob which sits between the driver and passenger. All interior surfaces are immaculate, and unmarried.

Drivetrain
A 280-horsepower, 3.9-liter V-8 engine drives the rear wheels via a five-speed-automatic transmission. It is a Select Shift version so you can go through the gears manually if you wish. EFI feeds it fossils and air, it sports dual exhaust, and other mechanicals are all pristine, as well as the engine compartment. On the back is a 3.58 conventional axle. Plastic coverings abound but are all very clean even dust free.

Undercarriage
Much like new with slight surface rust on some of the usual cast suspects but all unremarkable. Plenty of stamped aluminum parts, dual exhaust and an X frame adds stability to the convertible top version. Independent coil springs are all around as are power disc braking. No road dirt is even present.

Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and smooth runner, this 2005 bird is a thrill ride with plenty of power, all working functions and quick panic stopping. A pleasure to drive.

Think retro when you envision this car in your garage and driveway. It harkens back to the 2 seat version which when replaced with the back seat version was initially viewed as an abomination. Things normalized though and eventually it came back and here it is, live and in Metallic Steel Blue color, porthole hardtop roof, convertible if you want it top or down and all leather bucket seat interior.
