Thanks Quickdraw

I nominate you for member of the year 2005. Very nice. I knew my brand new 05 was probaly made in late 04. Gets me to thinking whether it might be a good idea to change the oil even though I've only gone 400 miles? Would the dealership have done that over the course of 13 months? Should I?

Tman....

Those number originally came from me but new evidence shows those numbers to be a tad low...

Thank you Hannah,

You asked about the number of unsold Thunderbirds at an unmentionable site... Someone else asked that here a week ago and here is that answer: http://forums.thunderbirdforum.com/showpost~p~23372~postcount~37.htm I haven't recalculated in the last week but if you subtact 100 from those totals you'll be very close for today.

first built

I am the orginal owner. Do you know the first Build Date? I am curious as to how close mine was built to the first one.

Quickdraw,
I may have missed your reply to the question above, but do you know when the first ones were built? Can you tell from the serial # how many were built before.

Good question. Your VIN 04173 would indicate it was approximately the 4173 Thunderbird built. To determine much closer (maybe even exactly) how many were made before yours you need to look at the "Rotation" number. This is a four digit number right above the VIN on the sticker located on the left front fender lip (under the hood). The first batch of Thunderbirds came off the line March 14, 2001 but it wasn't until June 2001 that production started to ramp up.

There were only six cars made like yours!

Are you the original owner? It appears this was built for the Canadian market and as such would not have come with the supplimental parking lamps.

By the way, both the painted shift knob and steering wheel top are made of wood and both of those make up the black accent interior option (about $300 US extra).

Either post, or PM your 17 digit VIN and I'll look up to find what day your Ford vehicle was built. If you bought used and also want to know what day it was originally purchased I can do that for you too.

Mark,

You don't have the Deluxe model you have the Premium (better). The Deluxe has painted wheels instead of chrome, like yours. Your 2002 triple black with the optional black accent (painted shift knob & steering wheel top) was the most popular configuration for any year! There were 4,699 made like yours.

You car came off the line about 2pm EST on Friday 3/12/2004

They finished 47 cars on that day so, with about an hour left before the end of the shift, they finished about six after yours and 40 before.
Soooo... 8,489 + 40 , yours was about the 8,529th 2004 built out of 12,757 that year.
