Just in time for summer, you are viewing an
absolute cream puff, one owner 2002 Thunderbird which has been treated like a
child in the family since the day I took possession of this beauty on October
25, 2001. This was one of the first new generation Thunderbirds to come
off the production line and the very first one delivered to the dealership in
Ridgewood, New Jersey (Ridgewood Ford, which is now out of business). I
had the car on order for over a year prior to delivery. The car has the
original Thunderbird Blue exterior color which was only produced for the first
year of production in 2002 and then discontinued, so it is highly desirable. The car still turns heads wherever it goes given its pristine condition. The interior is all black, including black leather seats and black
leather shifter. No cutesy two toned interior here. The cell phone photos attached couldn't possibly do this car justice. There is not a scratch, ding or ping on this car. I always parked it away from the crowd, like a true car nut. It's never been painted, or damaged in any way whatsoever, not even touch up paint. No smoking has ever occurred in the car. It has never seen snow and has been stored every day since delivery in a heated/dry garage. It has been meticulously maintained with oil changes every 3000 miles and any/all maintenance has been performed at my local high line mechanics over the years since I didn't even trust the dealership with their own brand. Despite the fact that this car has 60,655 miles on it (less than 5,000 miles a year on average), the car literally looks like it just came out of the showroom. Much of the mileage is highway miles. The interior of the car shows minimal wear with both seats in excellent condition. The car comes with all original equipment, including the matching Thunderbird Blue removable hard top which has never been used on the car after taking delivery, so it is absolutely perfect. It sits on the original stand ordered from Ford. It also has the original convertible top boot which has never been used, both original keys with alarm key-fobs, the original window sticker and receipt from the dealership which you will note the $6,000 over sticker paid for the privilege of being the first in Northern New Jersey to grace the roads with this jewel. It also comes with all the original books and papers, nothing was tossed or lost. Lastly, as an extra neat bonus, I have the two original Motor Trend Magazines from March, 1999 and October, 1999 with cover feature articles on the new Thunderbird, which will also be provided in the sale to add to the collectibility of this wonderful automobile. Tires and brakes are excellent. The Convertible top is in perfect condition. The A/C is like ice. The pick up, speed, shifting and handling of this car are all a pleasure, the perfect blend of speed, power and luxury car ride (Ford used the LIncoln LS frame and base for this car). It truly drives as good today as it did the first day I drove off the showroom floor. Even the original chrome wheels are gem mint with virtually no curb rash whatsoever. The only minor flaw is an ever so slight touch to one of the black protective bumpers around the license plate which cannot be noticed in the photos. If the model had not been totally discontinued by Ford in 2005, one would think this to be a brand new car without exception. There may be other
examples of 2002 Ford Thunderbirds on the market with less mileage, but there
is no doubt that you will not find one in better overall condition than this,
bar none. I welcome independent professional inspections of this vehicle by
prospective buyers. Motor Trend recently ranked this generation Ford Thunderbird as one of the ten most likely "future classic cars" because of its very small production run each year during its short 4 year lifespan as a model. Moving across country with no room to store an extra vehicle and my son is going to college, so someone is going to get lucky with this outstanding example of a future classic in just the right color and equipment. The winning bidder will be responsible for $1,000 deposit via paypal within 24 hours after purchase with the balance due in certified funds. I will assist in shipping if necessary, but buyer must arrange directly with shipper and pay shipper as well. The vehicle is available for inspection upon appointment in Northern New Jersey. |

280-bhp Elemental RP1 revealed, now with bike-engine option
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Elemental RP1 might be Britain's next big boutique roadster success story. Designed by a team with Formula One experience, it aims to mix road car drivability with racecar performance in a single, adaptable package weighing less than 1,000 pounds. It was first previewed a few weeks ago, but the secrecy has finally disappeared due to its upcoming debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The backbone of the RP1 is a carbon fiber and aluminum tub onto which the front and rear subframes bolt on. Inside, it has an F1-like, feet-up driving position that allows for additional underfloor aerodynamic aids to improve downforce. Despite its hardcore nature, Elemental says that it wants the car to be very user friendly. Buyers should be able to drive the RP1 to the track, adjust it with some wrenches, go racing and drive it home. The company even claims the storage areas to either side of the engine offer enough room for a helmet and other racing gear. Hopefully, buyers don't crash, though, otherwise they might be stuck. Elemental is adding two more engine options for the RP1, as well. In addition to the previously announced tuned Ford 2.0-liter EcoBoost with 280 horsepower, buyers can also choose a upgraded version of Ford's three-cylinder 1.0-liter EcoBoost or a model aimed at pure track use with a 999cc Honda Fireblade motorcycle engine. The 2.0-liter uses a six-speed sequential manual gearbox, and a limited-slip differential and alternate gear sets are available as additional options. The first RP1s built will be pure racers for the 2015 season, and the first road cars will follow in the early summer of next year. Pricing isn't set yet, but scroll down for more details and full specs of Britain's latest feather light car for road and track. Introducing the Elemental Rp1 Press Release: 23/6/2014 British sports car manufacturer, Elemental Motor Company Limited, today released further details of their new and innovative, road legal track car, the Rp1. The Rp1 is an open top, road legal, mid engined sports car that incorporates state of the art road and race car technologies. Designed, Engineered and Built by a team with decades of experience in the Formula One and Supercar industries, it brings the concept of a road legal track car firmly into the 21st Century. The Rp1 will be revealed to the public for the first time, this weekend, at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will located in the Moving Motor Show tent "First Glance" display.
Ford launches pair of recalls affecting fullsize sedans and Transit Connect van
Wed, Jan 28 2015Ford has announced a pair of pretty significant recalls affecting the 2010-2013 Ford Taurus and Police Interceptor, as well as their platform-mate, the Lincoln MKS. A separate recall covers the 2014 Transit Connect. The fullsize sedans include 205,000 vehicles built at Chicago Assembly over a variety of timeframes, ranging between December 1, 2009 and November 30, 2012. The vehicles, 194,889 of which were sold in the United States, have an issue with the spring controls on the interior door handles that could cause the door to open in a side-impact crash. The Transit Connect recall, meanwhile, includes 16,100 vans built between November 6, 2013 and September 20,2014 at the company's Valencia, Spain factory. In these vehicles, the seatbelt fasteners may not have been tightened properly, which could cause them to loosen over time, a condition that's obviously bad news in the event of a crash. Ford says it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or crashes in either recall. Owners will, of course, be notified and asked to report in for inspections and if necessary, free replacements. Scroll down for the full press release from Ford, which includes the complete breakdown of dates during which the affected sedans were built in Chicago. JAN 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS Ford is issuing two safety recalls. No accidents or injuries are attributed to either of these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans for interior door handle issue Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 2010-2013 Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Ford Police Interceptor sedans due to an issue with the spring that controls the interior door handles. If the spring is unseated, the door may become unlatched in a side-impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant; certain 2010-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles built June 2, 2011 to Oct. 31, 2011 at Chicago Assembly Plant; and certain 2010-2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedans built Dec. 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010 and Feb. 1, 2011 to Nov. 30, 2012 at Chicago Assembly Plant.
Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad
Fri, Sep 9 2016For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.
