Used Ford Thunderbird for Sale

I wanted a car that fit me and was fun to drive. My 2005 Torch Red Anniversary Edition Thunderbird Bird was the perfect match. I bought it used, with about 73,000 miles on it. It was in great condition, though I did have to buy new tires. This T-Bird is a small but powerful car. I'm 5'1" and the car fits me well. There's not a lot of headroom. If you're big and tall, you may have to fold up a bit to get into the driver seat! The car pays homage to the original 1950's Thunderbird. The seats are black and red leather, the design is sleek. Fast forward to 2005, and this car was ahead of its time in amenities. It has heated seats, satellite radio, an alarm system, and a fantastic sound system. My car has a removable hard top, and a fold-away soft top. The battery is in the trunk as easy to get to. The 2005 Thunderbird was designed more as a luxury car than a sports car. But it's no slouch in the speed and handling department. Zero to 60 mph in 6 seconds, thanks to the 8-cylinder Jaguar engine. And the ride is smooooth. It's low to the ground and hugs the road. I took a friend for a ride on the Interstate and she couldn't even tell when we were moving at 100 mph for a few moments. Smooooth! This car is a collectible, and will hold its value over the coming years.

I was at a Ford dealership in the summer of 1977. On the showroom floor sat a Thunderbird. It was lipstick red, white vinyl top, white seats, and red carpet. I must say it was love at first sight. I sat down in it, noticing all the features, including the 8-track tape player. The new car smell pleased me very much. It had custom wheels and a 351M engine. It was loaded with all the accessories one could ever want. I was NOT leaving the dealership without this car. I spoke to a salesman and we went for a test drive. This drive made me want it even more. The salesman and I sat down and discussed the price. He made me a deal I couldn't refuse. I knew this car was going to be mine. We did all the paperwork and they shined the car. Just my luck, this was on Sunday and I couldn't get the money out of the bank until the next morning. I was at the bank when they opened, drew out the money, and drove as fast as I could to the dealership. When I arrived, it was only minutes until they drove it off the showroom floor, handed me the keys, and made me a very happy man!

My Ford Thunderbird was a short lived car that existed only to get me from point A to point B with the maximum amount of shame and embarrassment. This thing was the very definition of a granny car. It was completely lacking in any kind of aesthetic appeal- I felt like I was driving the Goodyear Blimp down the street. The handling was rough. Trying to make turns was about as easy as convincing a cow to break dance. The brakes were good, and I did feel safe in the car- mostly because I couldn't get it to drag it's overly large frame around at more than 60 miles an hour. The gas mileage was horrible, the seats were uncomfortable...this car was my punishment for being a college student I'm sure.
