BaT Auction: 12k-Mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird

This 2002 Ford Thunderbird has been registered in Texas from new and was acquired by the seller in October 2020. The car is finished in black over a black and red leather interior, and is powered by a 3.9-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include a power-operated black soft top, a removable hardtop, 17″ wheels, power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and a sound system with a six-disc CD changer. This Thunderbird has 12k miles and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

The body is finished in Evening Black (UA) and features a power-operated black soft top, a removable hardtop with porthole windows, integrated fog lights, a bright-finished windshield frame, a hood scoop, and twin exhaust outlets. Photos showing the hard top installed as well as the black soft top in its raised and lowered positions can be seen in the gallery.

Polished 17″ wheels are wrapped in 235/50 Michelin Defender T + H tires that were mounted in July 2019. The car is equipped with traction control and independent rear suspension.

The cabin is trimmed in black leather with Torch Red inserts on the dash, console, door panels, and power-adjustable seats. Amenities include cruise control, automatic climate control, and a factory stereo with a six-disc CD changer.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer shows just under 12k miles.

The 3.9-liter V8 was factory-rated at 252 horsepower with 267 lb-ft of torque, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. An oil change was performed recently per the seller.
