I adore this car! I’m so excited the features of the car exactly as I expected. It’s a beautiful classic style with modern interior technology. OK it might not have all the USB ports or gadgets like back up cameras but it’s an absolute head, Turner! Great experience buying.May 18, 2024

Overall a very nice example. It needs a bit of TLC on trim and headlight fog . The car runs out great and it drives very well. Apr 25, 2024

Considering it had been wrecked, its one of the better cars Ive seen with damage. The price is typically good. If the damage is only on the surface, this could be an investment for someone. If damage is excessive, then the several flags will match the color of the car but an ideal color if in very good condition. Apr 20, 2024

Yes, everything is great. I love the Thunderbirds. Just trying to figure out whether I want the gray white possibly black. Looking for a gray with the reddish interior or saddle interior. I want a full hardtop to switch to convertible. In Florida. Youll have the top up most of the time.Feb 14, 2023

This car is great! It combines the baby bird of the fifties with the modern tech of the early 2000s to make a comfortable boulevard cruiser. Being retired and in my 60s, its just what I was looking for, a car with the V8 rumble, beautiful leather seating and plenty of room for two adults. For a 20-year old car, the single owner kept it like new. All the mechanicals and cosmetics are perfect and I love it!Oct 27, 2022

Every moment is agony. If you even LOOK at this car the wrong way a fuse will blow and an exterior trim piece will literally just fly off.
If you say “retro bird” three times in front of a mirror piping hot coolant will spew from the AC vents and human blood will begin to pour out of the tailpipes
This car is an absolute nightmare.Sep 07, 2022

This car is showroom perfect. It had one owner who had preordered it and kept it from all rain and snow for the past 20 years. It handles well, and is easy on fuel, and I LOVE it!Jul 31, 2022

There are not many 2 seat convertibles with a V8 and dies not have a cramped interior. The downside is the fuel mileage isn’t the best. Jul 24, 2022

This model is going to be a classic. I think a great investment, and will double in value in the next few years.The design is superb, with beautiful lines.

The reviews on life of vehicle based on miles is very good. There are inexpensive trim kits that can be used to change out the bland factory one. Same for the radio. Oct 17, 2021

it is the automotive art child of the XKE and the Karman Ghia. Staggeringly beautiful. Amazingly affordable, A Picasso for the price of a comic book. The price prooves the utter lack of taste of the American public .Sep 11, 2021

Absolutely beautiful car, it looked in showroom condition. Sadly for me being 64 I just didnt fit in it, with the top up the roof rested on my head, with the top up my eyeline was even with the windshield frame. So if you are 6 foot tall and less, go buy this car!!!Jun 20, 2021

The car had been in an unreported accident as well as had rust along the seam of the hardtop. Not to mention a blown spare tire and no trunk cover for the battery.Feb 17, 2020

Performance surpassed my expectation.
Quality Leather and interior sound.
Better road view than anticipated with the top on.
Cons, Need a bit more space behind the seats.
Need the trunk a bit deeper.
Better information in the owners manual for traction control featureJan 10, 2015

I love everything about this car. It is not a Corvette but then again wasn't supposed to be anything other than a boulevard cruiser. There are tons of specialty products made to customize this car to your liking to make it uniquely yours, just as I did with mine. This is strictly a summer car and has never seen a winter.Jun 20, 2014

This is a wonderful Cruiser, Top Down or with the Port Hole Top on, you're always in style and comfort. Drawing questions and looks about the T-Bird wherever you travel, while listening to the rumble of a 280 horsepower Ford V8 under the sculpted hood.Jan 28, 2014

Fun to drive with top down. Handles well but not as tight as competing roadster makes and models. Only 17MPG City with small but powerful V8 engine and rear wheel drive. Had ECM replaced by dealer at a cost of approximately $700 total (part alone was $350 on line and $500 from dealer), but otherwise reliable auto. Six disk CD changer jammed, but I was able to repair and replace changer myself without replacing entire radio.Jul 18, 2013

Neat little fun car. Nice looking with the hardtop and with the convertible top down. Eight years old and only 14,000 miles. the RedBird spends it's Maine winter in the garage under wraps. A TWO person car, perfect for my Wife and I.Jun 11, 2010

I am just getting to know this car. I liked these sine they were introduced and think Ford really screwed up when they didn't achieve the sales they wanted. I bought the car because I missed having a convertible, and I like the aesthetics. Speaking of which, if I have complaint, it's that the center stack where the radio/hvac controls are is very boring and apparently directly from the Lincoln LS. But, it isn't hard to use! I have a full accent interior which matches the exterior. I believer this was only done in the 2002 model year. All in all, so far, so good.Sep 08, 2008
