My desert sky blue 2003 is dream car 1 of 147 made. It has 28,000 miles and has spent it's pampered life in my Florida air conditioned garage. Driven to maintain but is a third car
Soon to down size and might not take it with me.
Bought new and had hardtop only on for maiden trip from NY dealer. Love the car drives like a dream.

Mine is the first 2002 delivered by Crossroads Ford in Raleigh NC. For the first couple of months I had a caravan following me everywhere I went. These were in such short supply that many were seeing then for the first time,

I bought my bird from showroom floor Dec 2004. (Dream Christmas gift)
BTW, I wonder how many of us are original owners, how many are seconds.

I bought my TBird in 2003 and am still the only owner.

Bought mine in May of 2002. Almost embarrassed to say it still has less than 8K miles on it. Need to enjoy it more. A few subtle modifications, especially fond of 80-spoke Kelsey wheels I was fortunate enough get several years ago. Still on original tires too, so I won't be going far without new rubber.

I wanted a TBird since I was a kid. When the 2002s came out, I struggled because I didn't feel I could afford it. The day the Columbia Shuttle when down, Feb 1 2003, I got out of a sick bed and bought my VBird. Brand new beautiful 2002 Inspiration Yellow- The car gets more action than I do 🙂 Best road trips ever Zoom Zoom!! VBird is due for her 200K maintenance next week. Cost me a little dough last year but not sure if I can ever part with her.

Blue 2002...113,000+ miles. I'm retired now but used it for commuting. Always parked outside in Florida weather (unfortunately). I keep a good coat of wax on it. Still looks great on the outside but it needs some minor TLC inside. Been a great car...very little problems.

How many can say this. We won our 2005 Steel Blue in a contest through BP. Still looks great in my garage.

Got my 2003 new Oct. 24th 2003. $41,685. list price, paid $33,000 for it. Still use it almost every day, has 68,000 miles.

$41,685 is equal to $70,333 in today's money

I'm not the 1st owner, my dad was. When I saw the Thunderbird was coming out with the 02-05 models, I told my dad I was going to get one in 05 when I turned 50. Well my dad ended up buying our Red 03 for his 50th anniversary. I'm still driving and enjoying it now that my parents have passed. So our family is the original owner and I plan on passing it down the line.
