In 2002, Ford introduced the eleventh generation Thunderbird, as a retro-modern homage to the original. It brought back many first-generation attributes such as the two-seat layout, but featured modern mechanicals and technology under the skin. Since Ford owned British automaker Jaguar Cars at the time, there are quite a few Jaguar-derived bits in eleventh generation T-Birds too. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one fine example that’s currently up for grabs in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. With under 17,000 miles on the clock, the Full Interior Color Accent Package and the Deluxe Series Order Code, this is a car for the discerning collector indeed.
A key automobile in America’s automotive industry, the T-Bird as it is popularly called was billed as a Personal Luxury Car. This was a segment that Ford supposedly created, reflecting a luxury and powerful two-door machine. Basically, they looked at the Grand Tourers of Europe and said, hey, America has open roads that would suit such a segment of car. Ten generations of T-Bird were made between 1955 and 1997, with a homage eleventh generation showing its face between 2002 and 2005. Today’s 1961 Ford Thunderbird comes from the third generation and has done just 22,000 miles. Based in Kansas City, it’s got a V8, a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox, a black interior and more.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
