DESCRIPTION
2005 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
For consignment, a 2005 Ford Thunderbird convertible with a title verified 7,173 actual miles. Yes, like many of the modern Thunderbirds that were purchased, it was used for pleasure rides only and has remained in immaculate condition, presenting in what has to be a nod to the 1957 Thunderbird Bronze Iridescent option. Low mileage modern Thunderbirds sell quickly, so if you\'re interested in this one, make like a falcon and dive in!
Exterior
The eye catching design of the front of this Bronze Metallic car suggests 1950\'s Thunderbirds but in reverse angles. The headlights lean backwards with no brow, where the originals pushed forward and wore overhangs from the body. Our grille is slightly convex and where the hood scoop rose above the hood in the \'50\'s, it dips down into the hood following a sculpted ravine that directs air to the opening. The dramatic profile is bolstered by the 17-inch multi spoke wheels wrapped in 50 series tires while the 50thanniversary fender vent trim, broad polished windshield frame, and porthole windows on the hardtop further enhance its visual excitement. In the back, tail lights maintain a traditional round presentation and still look like afterburners after all these years! The tan canvas top with glass rear window is also in excellent shape and so is the port holed auxiliary hardtop! Imperfections are limited to a scuff on the passenger door handle, a slight scratch that intersects the black pinstripe, and a rock chip in front.
Interior
Black door panels include a perforated panel and like the classic Thunderbirds, carries the patterns onto the dash. The ribbed pattern towards the door jamb also continues on a circular back wall behind the seats and the bucket seats are covered in Light Sand leather, well padded and topped by a substantial head rest above. The center console houses a tan leather handled shifter sits at the ready, racy and clean, while the tan wrapped steering wheel has an aqua Thunderbird which is coordinated with the aqua needles of the white faced gauges on the surrounding black dashboard. The center stack contains the AM/FM/CD stereo, climate controls, and other switches and knobs are fully integrated in the aluminum face plate. Low pile black carpet covers the floor protected by fitted, carpeted mats rimmed in tan and in great condition. The fully finished trunk is also as clean as a whistle.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, a clean and shrouded 3.9 DOHC V8, rated at 280 horsepower and mated to a 5-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. Power is routed properly back to the rear axle with 3.58 gearing. Power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning are standard.
Undercarriage
You know it\'s low mileage when there are grease pencil marks on the chassis! Other than some minor road dirt, the underside is clean and complete, with dual exhaust still carrying original equipment muffler and exiting through chrome tips. Four wheel power disc brakes are on board and suspension is independent at both ends with Macpherson struts.
Drive-Ability
It\'s practically brand new but we note the tires are likely the originals with a mid 2004 date code. But they still track well and the car provides a smooth ride and comfortable cockpit. Naturally, all functions in this garage kept bronze bird operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Call it anecdotal, but we\'re seeing interest in these sleeper Thunderbirds increase, and prices on the low mileage garage queens reflect the demand. There\'s really nothing quite like the modern \'birds on the road and they make great weekend cars that reliably turn heads wherever they fly!
