Overview of 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX For Sale by Owner

Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.

Exterior and Interior

The ’90s was a time when computer-aided automotive design was really taking off, with even more attention paid to the way that aerodynamics influence performance. This is evident in the 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX’s streamlined and clean outer appearance. It features a relatively low front end and has a shorter wheelbase than its predecessor. This, being a facelifted model, features an updated appearance, with the Thunderbird emblem appearing on the grille and a more curvaceous hood injecting some pizzaz into the design. Our featured example is painted in black and is reportedly all-original, right down to the chrome wheels, which are wrapped in Firestone tires. The originality extends to the interior. Images of the interior confirm the low mileage, with a four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel that looks virtually factory fresh, pedals that are sans wear, and uncracked dashboard plastics. The 1997 Ford Thunderbird was relatively loaded for its era, featuring gray cloth upholstery, cruise control, power windows, a tilt steering wheel, and a power sunroof.

Engine

Under the hood lies a 3.8-liter V6 powerplant, which reportedly outputs 155 hp in this application. The naturally aspirated V6 engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This all-original car appears to be unmolested under the hood, with no modifications reported and up an up-to-date servicing history to ensure this time capsule of a car continues for many more years to come.
