2005 Ford Thunderbird

Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is pleased to offer this 2005 Ford Thunderbird Cashmere 50th Anniversary Special Edition for sale. This is car number 217 of 1500 built, and it has just 25,806 miles since it rolled off of the production line in Wixom Michigan. This special edition 11th generation Thunderbird debuted at the Miami Auto Show in November of 2004. Job 1 for this edition was scheduled for Jan 3, 2995, with only 1500 scheduled to be built. These special cars started showing up at dealers in late January and were in customer homes by February. This one is powered by a 280hp 3.9L AJ-35 V8 engine, mated to Ford's 5R55N 5-speed automatic transmission. The AJ-35 V8 replaced the AJ-30 V8 in 2003 and later Thunderbirds, bringing with it variable valve timing (VVT) and electronic throttle control (ETC) as well as 280 horsepower and 286 lbft torque. Complementing the extra power and torque provided by the AJ-35 V8, a manual shift feature for the 5-speed automatic called SelectShift was available as an option in 2003 and later Thunderbirds. With sales dropping off significantly after its first model year, Ford decided to make the 2005 model year the Thunderbird's last with no scheduled successor. The last one rolled off the assembly line on July 1, 2005. The commemorative 50th Anniversary features a gorgeous Cashmere tri-coat metallic paint with matching removable top and Medium Light Stone cloth convertible top and soft boot. It has a coordinated Cashmere, Stone and Soft Gold interior package, which includes full leather Cashmere seats and Cashmere trimmed lower instrument panel, floor console, and door armrests. It also features 17-inch 16 spoke aluminum wheels, with a matching Cashmere accented hub ring. In the trunk you will find the Hardtop cart, Hardtop cover, Tonneau cover, and factory floor mats. Inside the car you will find the custom-ordered woven jute floormats, owner's manual with case and the serialized emblem identifying it as number 0217/1500. Features include A/C, AM/FM radio with 6-disc CD changer, Power Convertible Top, Hardtop, Spare Tire and Jack, Cruise Control, Heated Seats, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Windows, Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel, Power Mirrors, Driver and Passenger Airbag, Leather Interior, Radial Tires and Aluminum Alloy Wheels.
