Overview of 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe For Sale by Owner

Ford’s final hurrah in the Personal Luxury Car segment which they created, the eleventh generation T-Bird was made between 2002 and 2005. Ford poured significant resources into creating a retro-modern machine that would be forever remembered. That’s why you’ll do extremely well to pick up this Merlot-colored 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe from Los Angeles. With just under 28,000 miles on the clock, this V8-toting machine comes with the Light Sand Appearance Package, a removable body-colored hard top and even the original owner’s manual included with the sale. That makes it not only a fine daily driver, but a viable future investment as well.

Exterior and Interior

With its sleek retro-inspired styling, this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe wears a Merlot color coat, which, as the name suggests, looks just like fine wine. The car’s sweeping lines, long overhangs and egg-crate styled grille are all homages to the original, first-generation T-Bird of 1955. You’ve got a convertible top in Light Sand, plus a removable body-colored hard top, giving you two cars in one, basically. The 17-icnh bright machined 16-spoke alloy wheels also look cool, and overall, this is one of those retro-mod efforts that comes like this from the factory itself. The two-seat interior of this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is also inspired by the first-generation T-Bird in terms of seating capacity. By the second generation, Ford added a rear seat, but first-generation cars were strictly two-seaters. If you’re knowledgeable about cars from the Two Thousands, you might notice some familiar features that are shared with contemporary Jaguars, such as the controls for the dual-zone automatic climate control system and radio with 6-CD changer. That’s because Ford owned Jaguar during the time that this car was conceived, and as we shall see, some shared synergies go deeper than mere cosmetics.

Engine

This 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe comes with a 3.9-liter V8 under the hood. The engine is a Jaguar AJ35 unit, rated at q reported 280hp and 286lb-ft. It’s paired with a Ford Bordeaux 5-speed automatic transmission and drives the car’s rear wheels. Thanks to the car’s fully independent suspension, handling is pretty sporty too.
