“Thunderbird has always embodied the love affair between driver and open road.” Ford understood Thunderbird's legacy spanning eleven impressive generations, consistently prioritizing distinctive style throughout its evolution. In its final generation, the Thunderbird returned to its roots with retro styling cues and the iconic two-seater, open roadster design. From its distinctive porthole windows to its classic headlights, the final iteration embodied the essence of Thunderbird's timeless appeal. Powered by an all-aluminum 3.9-liter V8 with dual overhead cams and 32-valves rated at 280 horsepower, and paired with a SelectShift automatic transmission, it delivered wonderful levels of performance while maintaining its unmatched style.  

The final generation Thunderbird offered automotive enthusiasts a unique blend of individuality and exclusivity, making it a standout choice for those seeking something truly special on the road. And several limited productions and special editions were produced between 2002 and 2005, including this particular Pacific Coast Roadster, adding an air of exclusivity to this already eye-catching car. As Ford said it its brochure, “Because no matter where you go or how long you stay, you’ll get noticed in a Thunderbird.”
