Testimonials

"I feel I must write to you a letter that you may like to put to your customers. As you know I missed on a couple of your cars because of a car I was selling . However a lovely looking car came up on trade me .It was in North Auckland. I rang the older owner and found he had brought the car off a neighbour, I asked him about any rust problems . He said any rust that was there had been cut out and repaired properly. It had just been re upholstered and as the paintwork was original he had only the mudguards resprayed. It had new tyres and new wheel cylinders and brakes relined.As it had been in storage for 8yrs it had to be certified. But where he lived he said would pose a problem for getting it to the testing station. He said would I get it done from my end. He said everything had been done and it would fly through.I said I would and got it Transported to Palmerston North. When it arrived the first thing the transporter driver said was be carefull it has very poor brakes. Then takingit up a small rise to get it into my garage the clutch was slipping badly. The paint was far from original and the mudgaurds had been sprayed with an aerosol can . These are just a few problems with the car. I rang the seller up told him how disapointed I was and said if I transport it back to him will he refund my money. He said no. As all the dealings I had with him were on the phone and nothing in writing. My hands were tied. Not all Trade Me sellers are honest. Make sure you go to Waimak Classic Cars who I know deal in quality cars."

      Description

       

      With so many bland copycat machines crowding driveways and freeways alike, it's refreshing to see an automotive giant like Ford prioritise design and heritage as much as it did with the 2002 Thunderbird.

      It was this iconic American design, along with a smooth ride, V-8 power, high-quality convertible top, and value-packed sticker price, that got it named the Motor Trend 2002 Car of the Year.

      • This car looks great with red paint highlighting the chrome perfectly and it evokes the louche decadence of those earlier cars.
      • With its wraparound screen and tapering rear wings its compact and elegant, clearly American, yet somehow not out of place in any foreign environment.
      • Looks stunning with both soft top and removable hard top - the lines are hard to fault, and this model has aged well.
      • Engine is a 4.0ltr quad cam V8 producing 250bhp (an America-only derivative of the AJ8, built in Ohio) matched to an overdrive five-speed automatic, which is well matched to the Thunderbird’s relaxed feel. Effortless to drive around town and on the highway and has all the performance you could seriously want from a car such as this. Nice exhaust note.

      • White-faced instruments and two-tone seats

      The T-Bird proves an excellent conversation starter everywhere it goes.  Many admirers just want to catch a closer glimpse, while others even asked us to take them for a short ride.

      Ford did a respectable job in bringing this car icon back to life. It channels loads of charm from the original, yet works as a modern car that's reasonably priced and useable every day. It really is the ultimate weekend getaway. With soft-sided luggage, two people can travel for a few days in the summer months.

      Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered.
