Description
Gold Country Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 2004 Ford Thunderbird, showing 86,379 miles and featuring a beautiful deep metallic red exterior, contrasting tan convertible top, two-tone tan and black leather interior, and the highly desirable removable color-matched hardtop with iconic Thunderbird porthole windows. Ford revived the Thunderbird for the 2002 model year with a design heavily influenced by the legendary two-seat T-Birds of the 1950s. With its long hood, short rear deck, round headlights, egg-crate grille and distinctive hardtop, the result was unmistakably Thunderbird—but with the comfort and drivability of a modern automobile.
V8 power and rear-wheel drive
Under the hood is Ford’s 3.9-liter DOHC 32-valve V8, factory rated at 280 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through a 5-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels, giving this Thunderbird the traditional American grand-touring configuration. This isn’t simply a convertible. With the removable hardtop installed, it takes on the classic profile of the early Thunderbird coupes, complete with the signature round porthole windows. Remove the hardtop and you have the power-operated tan soft top for open-air cruising.
Well-equipped interior
Inside you’ll find an attractive two-tone light tan and black leather interior that contrasts beautifully with the exterior. The cabin retains the distinctive retro-modern Thunderbird design, including the two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel, matching shift knob, metallic-look dash and console trim, and Thunderbird badging. Equipment includes power seating, power windows and locks, automatic climate control, factory audio system, cruise control, tilt steering, center console and dual cupholders. The car rides on 17-inch wheels with P235/50R17 tires and also features a chrome luggage rack, adding another period-inspired touch to the car’s appearance.
The final-generation Thunderbird occupies an interesting place in Ford history. It was a purpose-built two-seat V8 roadster created to celebrate the design and character of the original Thunderbird while providing modern conveniences and road manners. With its V8 engine, rear-wheel drive, removable porthole hardtop and power convertible top, it offers three distinct personalities: a stylish closed coupe, a soft-top convertible, or a completely open roadster.
At 86,379 miles, this example isn’t a car that needs to spend its life hidden away. It’s a Thunderbird you can get in, drive, cruise and enjoy. Whether you’re looking for a weekend cruiser, a comfortable road-trip car, or an affordable modern American collectible, this 2004 Thunderbird offers a lot of car for the money.
