Overview

The 2004 Ford Thundered was similar in many ways to the model first re-introduced in 2002, but with a couple of changes. Improved cam timing helped fuel economy as well as performance.
A new 3.9-liter V8 rated at 280 horsepower puts ample power in the engine, making for a thrilling ride with the soft-top down.
A two-seater, the Thunderbird is no longer the sports car/muscle car/family car of previous generations, but a sharp-looking toy for a new era with a retro look to impress fans of any time.

Viewed the car and their were a number of imperfections, however minor, that made me reconsider the purchase of this car. Aside from the cosmetic problems, I didn't pursue the drive worthy considerations.

After more than four months of serious searching for a 2004 or 2005 Ford Retro Bird, we finally bought an all black one with both tops, just 29,700 miles, for the reduced price of $#15,850! It was the lowest mileage of any we looked at, but also the least expensive! We drove it to our auto mechanic, who did a thorough workup on it, and pronounced it in very good shape -- a few minor things, but nothing serious. Only negative is it has dozens of little rock chips on the hood and some on the front fenders, which will have too be sanded out and repainted. But at that price, we can afford to have this done. The car has far quicker acceleration than our old 57 Bird and with tight steering, drives almost like a sports car. Plus, it is very easy to get in and out of, and has very comfotable, adjustable seats, with lots of leg room, and good sightlines. Lots of bells and whistles, many of which I am still discovering. Taking the hardtop off for the first time was a bit of a hassle, so I may just leave it off and use the very tight, good looking soft top, which goes up and down at the touch of a button -- very nice! And easy, unlike trying to fold the soft top in our old 57 Bird. About my only complaint as of now, having just had it for just two weeks, is that the trunk is really, really small, compared with our old classic T-Bird, especially so with the tonneau cover in there. So well just have to pack lighter on our next longer road trip, to which we are looking forward, as this is a fun, fun car to drive!

Car is a smooth ride. Well equipped and appointed. Lots of power in the 3.9L V-8 engine. It surprised me on its performance, pick up, and road gripping. Lastly, it has a super sport shifting manual side that is s joy to run the gears.

I wanted the late model Thunderbird for the engine features, overall the car was a very good value. It is not a drag racer, it is very fun to drive, top up or top down. It will merge and pass thru traffic very easily at freeway speeds. It is a gentlemens sports car, Im not impressing anyone, Im just having fun.
