You are bidding on a rare 2003 Ford Thunderbird 007 Special Edition. This is number 37 of 700 total produced. This one-owner car has only been driven 5670 miles and has been stored in a climate controlled garage when not in use. This car has never been involved in a collision and there are no dents or scratches. This car comes with 2 tops. The hard top has never been off the car and the soft top has never been up. The boot, hardtop Stand and cover for hardtop, and other accessories are still in the manufacturers plastic bags in the trunk. I have the original window sticker and the original bill of sale! I have compiled a notebook of pictures and documentation that will be invaluable to a collector. This car will only get more valuable in the future! The first 2 pictures were taken when the car was new, but all others are current pictures.

A Short History:
This car is a representation of the 2002 Thunderbird  that appeared briefly in the anniversary Bond movie "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Halle Berry as Jinx.  Halle was the driver of the Thunderbird in the movie.   The movie premiered in the USA on November 22, 2002.   It's reported that the original car was offered to Halle but she turned it down opting instead for an Evening Black 2002.   Wonder what happened to the original?  The car in the movie had a coral top instead of the white top offered with the special edition and was a 2002, not the 2003 that the edition comes as. 

Known facts now that the model is out of the factory:  Ford had a sweepstakes for an 007 to go along with the opening of the "Die Another Day" movie.  It ended December 2002.  The first cars were officially  "bucked" right after Christmas and started appearing in dealer's showrooms by mid January, 2003.  Production of the 007 ended sometime in March.  All 700 were built and some were prepped early for shows in Europe. It is believed that 694 were sold and 6 used for shows.

This limited editon features chrome 21-spoke wheels just like the Neiman Marcus editions had for 2002.  The seats are a solid "performance white" colored leather.  The doors are trimmed with white "wings" and the lower part of the dash is white. There is a "007" badge on the metal trim across the dash above the glove box.  The hardtop color is "performance white."  The steering wheel and shift knob are covered with "black ink" leather, a departure from the other "full accent" interiors.  The transmission has the select shift automatic (an 03 option) and the 3.9L, 280hp engine which is standard for the 2003.  Each 007 car has their own special plaque in the glove box, serializd from 001 to 700.

 MSRP was $43,995

This car is also known as the James Bond Special Edition or Bond Girl Special Edition, or identified with the actress Halle Berry.
