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! |

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show
Wed, Feb 24 2016New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball
NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery
Sun, 08 Jun 2014After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
