2003 Ford Thunderbird

Description

Cool style, luxurious features, both tops, and proper V8 power are all what make this 2003 Ford Thunderbird awesome. The affordable price is just the cherry on top of this red T-Bird.

We like the look of Torch Red on this final-generation T-Bird. After all, the retro-cool look has a timeless sense of style, and so it's nice to see it done in a timeless attractive hue. This is the factory application, and the way it shines in the sunlight is proof of good care. This has a stock style because Ford really took the time to integrate the best of the first-gen Thunderbird. You see it in the long profile, hood scoop, subtle fender vents, and afterburner-style tail lights. There are even great mirror-like brightwork elements, like the grille and the seven-spoke factory alloys.

This generation Thunderbird returned the tradition of giving you the choice of a folding soft top or the iconic porthole hardtop. And while we love having this freedom of choice, most of us would pick to have no roof at all. In fact, with automatic A/C climate control and heated seats, it seems like you could drive with the top down early all year round. After all, this was built to be a terrific cruiser loaded with power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual front airbags, a premium AM/FM/CD stereo, and cruise control. The leather seats feel comfy. They have a well-respected style with the kind of use that goes with the mileage. The power driver's seat gets you in the right position to really see nice detail like how the steering wheel's classic turquoise streak in the Thunderbird logo is coordinated with the needles on the gauges.

While the looks of the car are meant to be retro-cool, the engine bay is a pure modern motor. It's a fuel-injected DOHC 3.9-liter V8. It fires up readily, idles smoothly, and delivers plenty of power when you want it. So it makes for the ideal smooth cruiser from day one. You'll love using this to drive near or far because the five-speed automatic transmission is a versatile overdrive unit. Plus, you have power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and a fully-independent suspension. So this may look like a vintage car, but it certainly has modern moves.

We love it when we can find a value-priced modern classic. It leaves room in your budget if you want to upgrade functional pieces, like the tires or soft top. And it also allows you to put an even larger personal touch - anything from a Bluetooth stereo to adding a supercharger. But really, we bet you just like the idea of having such a cool cruiser with a stock style that's finally within reach. Call today!!!
