Ford Thunderbird for Sale in Buena Park, CA

I was seeking an convertible for summer fun, and I wanted to find something unique, not a dime-a-dozen Mustang, Camaro, or foreign convertible. This car DEFINITELY fits the bill...rarely see one of these on the road, and even more rarely one of these limited-edition Pacific Coast Roadsters. Also, being that I am 6' tall, I wanted a car that I could be comfortable in and not feel like Dino in the "Flintstone-mobile at the drive-in"...this is one of the few cars of it's 2-seater size that allows for a full-size American to be comfortable in. Being only a 2-seater, it's definitely limited to fun driving, as it's small trunk and 2-passenger capacity make it impractical for anything else. An added-plus is that this Thunderbird has a detachable hardtop for the off-weather seasons to allow for fun driving in the late Fall through early Spring. Having owned a convertible with a black interior decades ago, I knew better than to own another black interior convertible, and learned that 95% of the 'retrobirds' had a standard black interior, albeit for the limited-editions (2003 007, 2004 Pacific Coast Roadster, or 2005 Cashmere). The light gray interior of this car will reflect more sunshine heat than the black interiors, and give a longer life to the leather seats and vinyl interior trim. The car overall rides smooth. The car was not designed to be a sports car, but a roadster - something with driver comfort in mind. That said, it hits the mark. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The 3.9L V-8 provides ample power and acceleration. The handling is decent and traction is on the mark with wide footprint 17" tires...I opted to put new Pirelli Cinturato A/S Plus (grand-touring) tires on to replace the aging Continentals. These tires completely smoothed-out the ride and the whisper-quiet tires enhances the top-down experience. I made a point to have the coil-on-plugs and spark plugs inspected and found the inherent oil ingress issue (a known issue with the 3.9L in the Thunderbird, Lincoln LS and Jaguary S-type ) in the spark plug wells, and had the valve cover grommets replaced along with new spark plugs and coils. Good preventative maintenance. I did note that this car's stereo does suffer from the typical Ford CD-changer failure prone to ALL Ford's of the mid-2000's. Fortunately, this car has the satellite radio option so I am not so bummed about this problem. All-in-all, a hella-fun car to spend a weekend drive in. I find I'm liking this car more and more every trip.

I have owned this 2003 T-Bird Premium Hard Top Convertable for 18 years. This thing is Beautiful, beefy, and bulletproof. It’s not for speeding, sqeeling tires, or drag racing. It is for “Cruising” low and slow. It is a head turner so you want to protect the spectator’s neck muscles. People will stop and stare as you float by. Go “Topless” and it becomes obscenely sexy. Peeping Toms will appear from every stop. The ride is smooth comfortable. Acceleration is quick and does pump the adrenaline thanks to the V8. I enjoy driving and riding shotgun. My only reservation is driver comfort. I am 6 feet tall and the seat to gas pedal feels just at the maximum distance. I would like about another 1/2 inch just for long highway driving. Other than that. This thing is a 5.

I'd been wanting one of these for years, and finally ran across one just turned in on trade and snapped it up. Very low mileage, completely cherry and stock. Another person wanted to buy it but I already cut a check. Love this car! Came with all the bells and whistles, great to have a choice of hard, soft tops or convertible. Dream to drive in all sorts of weather, sweet husky naughty voice and a joy to look at! What more could you ask for.

Always have a lot of fun driving this car, especially with the top down. I have never had a car that received as much notice and many complements as this desert sky blue Premium Thunderbird!

I've owned several sports/specialty cars over the years, including Corvette, MGA, MGB, Austin Healey, Sunbeam Tiger, Jaguar, and have found this the best overall car. It has great performance, superb reliability, great features, etc. I like that it is a relatively rare car, so you don't see dozens of others around. It is the only convertible I've owned that absolutely doesn't leak in a car wash, and has a top that works excellently, and is tight and very quiet at highway speeds.

This is a beautiful little car. I bought it new and ordered all the options, including both tops. It has only 19000 miles, always has been garaged, never driven in the snow. No major accidents or repairs. It’s not made anymore so will become a classic.

A fun car to drive. I am now enjoying having a strong fast engine. I don’t know if I can go back to a four cylinder.

Love it. Great for a couple (or individual) who want to feel the late afternoon sun and the warm wind as they are touring a lazy country road. If you are looking for a grocery getter, this "ain't it." The car is meant for a lifestyle of fun. It moves quicker than you might imagine and looks as elegant as it rides.

I really enjoyed driving this car it was a muscle car felt very safe and was very reliable. The interior was black leather very nice the car drove smooth. I sounded like a race car but was a stock model. I was never disappointed in this car.
