Background Story of this 1997 Ford Thunderbird

Overview of 1997 Ford Thunderbird 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.

2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$22,500
SOLD

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.

Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$68,999

The 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.

PENDING SALE
$60,000

A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
