INTRODUCTION: Only 292 actual miles, 1 collector owner! The 007 James Bond Edition is widely regarded as the most desirable and collectible of all the modern Thunderbirds, and this is one of the finest examples in existence. It has had just one owner, a serious Ford collector we have known personally for decades, who purchased the car new and preserved it as a collectible from day one. This Thunderbird has been carefully stored, meticulously maintained, and remains pristine throughout. It comes with extensive documentation, original books, manuals, and accessories. In fact, the owner's manuals and top boot have never even been removed from their original packaging. Opportunities to acquire a genuine 007 Edition in this level of preservation are exceedingly rare.
EXTERIOR: The first thing that grabs your attention is the stunning Sunset Coral paint, a color exclusive to the 007 James Bond Edition and inspired by the Thunderbird featured in Die Another Day driven by Halle Berry. Combined with the unique 21-spoke chrome wheels available only on this model, it gives the car a look unlike any other Thunderbird. Beyond its exclusive appearance, Ford did an outstanding job blending modern styling with unmistakable Thunderbird heritage. The egg crate grille, round headlights and taillights, scooped hood, and iconic white porthole hardtop all pay tribute to the legendary 1955 Thunderbird while incorporating modern refinement. This also includes a black cloth power convertible top giving it two completely different personalities. The car remains in virtually brand new, all original condition.
INTERIOR: The striking Performance White leather interior immediately commands your attention and sets this Thunderbird apart from any ordinary roadster. Exclusive to the 007 Edition, it features unique machine turned aluminum trim accented by a special commemorative plaque identifying this car as No. 36 of only 700 produced. The design beautifully captures the spirit of the original Thunderbird while incorporating modern luxury and technology. The comfortable power heated seats, power tilt and telescoping steering column, dual zone automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, locks and mirrors, premium audio system, and keyless entry provide all the conveniences expected in a luxury touring car. The retro dual cockpit dashboard, chrome ringed gauges, and color coordinated interior details pay homage to the iconic Thunderbirds of the 1950s while delivering a thoroughly modern driving experience. The interior is virtually pristine and all original.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Lift the hood and you'll find Ford's smooth and responsive 3.9-liter DOHC V8 producing 280 horsepower. Aluminum construction, four-valve cylinder heads, sequential fuel injection, electronic throttle control, and coil-on-plug ignition delivers strong performance with refined manners. What really sets this car apart is its remarkable preservation, the engine compartment is virtually untouched and exceptionally clean.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Open the trunk and you'll find a compartment that looks virtually untouched, reflecting the car's incredibly low mileage. Lift the trunk floor and you'll find the original spare, it has never been removed.
UNDERSIDE:UNDERSIDE: Having spent its life in a climate controlled indoor environment and accumulated fewer than 300 actual miles, it retains a like new appearance throughout. The fully independent suspension at all four corners provides the smooth ride and handling these cars are known for, while power rack-and-pinion steering delivers precise control. The four wheel disc brake system with ABS offers confident stopping power, and all of the factory components appear exactly as Ford intended. Looking underneath, you'll find the original dual exhaust system in outstanding condition along with the 5-speed automatic transmission and independent rear suspension with its aluminum center section.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.
CONCLUSION: We see tremendous value in this Thunderbird. In today's market, what we're asking for a genuine 007 Edition with only 292 actual miles is remarkably reasonable considering its rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Whether you choose to continue preserving it as a collector piece or finally start enjoying it on the road, it's a special car that offers the best of both worlds. You get all the nostalgia and style of a classic Thunderbird without the worries that often come with owning an older collector car. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable modern Thunderbirds ever built.
