Mrs. OP's new toy...

I surprised Mrs. OP on Monday 1/9/2012 with something she has wanted for some time...NO, not a new husband!

2002 Ford Thunderbird in Thunderbird Blue paint with full accent and the Hardtop option.

It has only had one owner and only has 1,891 miles on it!!!

I found it in PA at a ford dealer, the owner of which was selling it for his friend on consignment. He had it on the showroom floor...10 year old car.

Amazingly, this 10 year old car still has the new car smell.

Anyway, she was surprised and is VERY happy...even though I am still around.

Congrats!

My wife has a 2004 Thunderbird Pacific Coast Roadster special edition. She loves it!

If you have any questions about your Thunderbird, please let me know. I run the NorCal Retrobirds website and there are many other sites with a wealth of info about the car.

Again congrats!

Thank you...I joined thunderbirdnest and have learned quite a bit especially on the porthole authority website.
I might bend your ear in the future.
