Thunderbird Blue Exterior Midnight Black & Thunderbird Blue Leather Interior Beautiful & Unmolested | 41k Miles | Rust Free CA/NV Car | 2 Owner | Clean NV title Please read this entire listing before bidding or sending queries. You are bidding on the exact beautiful 2002 Ford Thunderbird shown in the photos. There are 24 photos here, so please inspect all and enjoy! This beautiful Ford Thunderbird roadster is now available for a discriminating driver. With only two owners and 41k-ish original miles, this Ford comes in the delightful retro Thunderbird Blue (turquoise) color over a two-tone leather interior (black over blue) with aluminum accents. This Thunderbird has an impressive AutoCheck score of 91 -- well above the high range of 71! This car has been owned by two adult women from new. It was purchased new in California, and the current Nevada owner purchased it in 2008 with only 4284 miles on it. This current owner is a friend and neighbor, who is now raising two young children and driving a larger car. Note that the Thunderbird is being driven to and from work by her husband so the mileage will vary slightly from the listing and the odometer photo. This Thunderbird has a color-matched factory hardtop as seen in the photos, and includes the top removal tool. The original owner stated she never had the hard top off, and the current owner never did either until the top was removed for these photos and inspection of the factory folding top. As the photos show, the folding top is in essentially as-new condition, as one would expect considering it has never been up. The sale includes the hard top, tonneau cover, custom Thunderbird floor mats (as well as factory originals), and dash cover. Also on hand is a rolling cart for hardtop storage, and will be included if the new owner wants it and takes responsibility for its transportation. This gorgeous Thunderbird is rare, even more rare in this outstanding condition, and rarer still in this color (7406 manufactured). Its driving experience is exceptional: the rear-wheel drive is perfect for this cruiser; the smooth, Jaguar-designed AJ-30 3.9L DOHC V8 and 5-speed automatic transmission powers it from 0-60 in 7 seconds; at 60MPH it turns at a relaxed 2000 RPMs. It's hard to find that kind of smooth, powerful driving experience in a roadster anymore particularly in this price range. This fabulous Ford starts properly, idles smoothly, accelerates like a V8 should, and drives, turns, shifts and stops properly. It has zero leaks, everything works as it should, and it sports recent matching tires (around 10k on them) and new brakes. It truly looks, feels and drives like a new car. Inspections welcome and encouraged; come see for yourself. Recent professional maintenance includes: • battery replaced by Ford dealership, Mar 2011 • door lock actuators replaced, Nov 2012 • tires replaced, Jan 2013 (31,185 mi) • valve cover gaskets replaced, Feb 2013 (39,276 mi) • front and rear brakes serviced, Mar 2014 (39,991 mi) This 11th and final generation Thunderbird can be enjoyed as a coupe with the hard top on, or as a convertible with it off (soft top is folded down and hidden when hard top is installed; we have the tonneau cover for when the soft top is down as well). Around town, this car is comfortable, manageable, easy to drive, quiet and smooth. Get her on the open highway and she is powerful and rock solid at speed. I would get in it and drive it anywhere. This is a wonderful car and an excellent opportunity to own a low mileage, well-cared for, ready-to-drive modern American classic. DRIVETRAIN/MECHANICS: You have nothing to concern yourself with. Starts, idles, and runs excellent. The car has a smooth shifting 5-speed automatic mated to a 252HP 3.9 liter V8. It is smooth, powerful, runs perfectly quiet, and has zero leaks. All exterior lights work, the tires are excellent, the steering is light, tight and precise, and the new brakes stop properly and evenly without pulling or vibration. The car passed stringent Nevada tailpipe emissions testing in Sep 2013 on the first go-round [please check emissions requirements for your jurisdiction]. INTERIOR MECHANICS/COSMETICS: Gorgeous condition with factory original leather with brushed aluminum accents. The seats are firm and the leather is excellent, showing only minor wear on the driver's side. The doors and trunk all unlock properly with the key, the locks all work. A/C blows ice cold, heater blows hot. Everything works as it should and there are no cracks on the dash. A small chrome accent is missing from the passenger A/C vent but hardly noticeable. BODY/PAINT/COSMETICS/ELECTRICS:No accidents, verified by CarFax. The paint is beautiful, deep and glossy. There is no evidence of rust anywhere around or under this western US car, except at the small spot seen in the photo with the dime; it is on the passenger side along the edge where the hard top sits and is not visible with the hard top on. Also: There is a minor paint chip on the hard top. See photos 23 and 24 for these. The body is 99.99% straight with just a minor ding on the passenger side door that could not be photographed. The front shows minor road rash consistent with mileage; see photo. Panel gap is as-new. The engine compartment is clean and dry. Two wheels show minor edge curb rash, the other two do not. MY FINAL ASSESSMENT: I want to provide bidders with as much useful information as I would want myself. I'm a critical auto enthusiast, and when I say this car is in excellent condition and ready to drive and enjoy, you can check my feedback and trust that assessment. This is a superb example of a gorgeous American 2-seat roadster / coupe. You'll enjoy power and agility, and classic, understated elegance in a great car that you can drive and enjoy immediately. Please inspect the photos and read my listing carefully, ask all the legitimate questions you like, and understand what I am selling. I have bought and sold ten cars on eBay for personal use, and my eBay feedback speaks volumes. I will do my best to answer your questions, and ask that you query before you bid. Please: Have your funds available and don't waste our time or yours with scams, trades, "ideas" or tire kicking. I have 100% positive feedback and I intend to keep it. Inspections welcomed and encouraged (prior to bidding, please). Clear NV title in owner's hand and ready to sign over to the lucky new owner. To be fair to all bidders: I do not tolerate auction interference, I will not end this auction early, and I will not reveal the reserve. Deposit must be made via PayPal as required and in the time frame specified in the listing or the car will be relisted. Final payment and pickup must be made within seven (7) calendar days of auction close, in the form of cash in person at my bank, funds wired directly to my bank, or cashier's check, or your deposit will be forfeited. While I cannot make arrangements for shipping, we will assist with getting the car to the shipper. Or, you can fly into Las Vegas and drive her home as the eBay buyers of my two BMWs (1985 E30, 2003 ZHP) and my Alfa Romeo (1969 Berlina) did. Bid to own and enjoy, and good luck on landing this beauty! |

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
Everything new at the 2019 New York International Auto Show
Wed, Apr 24 2019Transcript: Welcome to the 2019 New York Auto Show. It's the last auto show, and so far it's my favorite of the year. We have a new buggy, compact pickup and trail ready SUV from Volkswagen. Ford brought the new Escape and a new Mustang performance variant, and we have a brand new Toyota Highlander and Subaru Outback. Let's go take a look around. We're here at the New York Auto Show with the Subaru stand. Normally the Subaru stand is just some white carpet and some show lighting. This year it's like we're in a national park. It's ... Frankly, I'm from Oregon. You're from Colorado. Yeah. It's making us feel at home. And in that way what better place and what better people to introduce this Subaru Outback which is pretty much the official car of Colorado and Oregon. Yeah. You actually have to buy a Subaru before they let you move to Colorado. Now instead of climbing up there and taking a look because we've been told we can't do that we're gonna go over there and check out another one. So the exterior, not that different. No. Looks exactly like an Outback. There's actually oddly a little more black plastic trim on the outside. A little too much for me. Right. It's interesting because it kind of slowly went away from that from the beginning because in the beginning the black plastic trim kind of made it an Outback, and now they're kind of bringing it back. I guess they needed to make it more macho. Right. Right. Now we're inside. Inside it looks pretty different. Swank. It's kind of swank for an Outback which has been pretty plain. Now this is the newly available vertically gigantic touch screen here. 11.6 inches. That is massive. This is how big it is when it's turned on ... just for the viewers. Now this is the onyx trim. So with that you get the black mirrors, the black wheels. This upholstery is special to the onyx, so it's gray and black and you also have this green stitching. Yeah, I like this accent stitching. It's kind of neat. Oh there's also a little tray there. Well this is a deep bin here. You can probably fit a phone. There we go. Almost. Yeah there are two USB ports. There's an additional two in the backseat. So this thing here you pop in the cup holder and it gives you a little more space or less space. These are really big, so if you have one of those Nalgene bottles I'm guessing it's going to fit in there. One of my complaints about my Subaru that I own now which is a naturally aspirated Crosstrek is that up in the mountains. It's slow?
Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790
Fri, Jul 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.
