The 2002 has a Hydraulic fan, just based upon that alone, I would avoid it. Frankly, I thought it was mostly nonsense because the stats have no real impact on the car value. One of our members posted how rare is your Ford Thunderbird based on data he had from working at Ford based on car options. We currently on a 2004 Chrysler crossfire Limited coupe in blaze red metallic pearl coat, a 1967 Ford mustang coupe in bright yellow similar to Corvette competition yellow with black interior and accents, and a 1960 Thunderbird coupe formerly in sultana turquoise with Corinthian white top that will one day be ultraviolet metallic with pearl white top.Ĭlick to expand.You are going to get many subjective answers about this. I know we should go with what we like best but so many color combinations look good on this model so we aren’t set on anyone no we do see multiple midnight black Thunderbirds around and there seem to be a lot of red ones on the market right now so we might want to avoid those colors. If we aren’t set on one of the 2002 only fashion colors are we better off with a 2003 or later or is the 2002 expected to increase more in value because it was the first year of this generation? Is the 2002 less desirable because they made so many more of them that year? We are currently looking at a 2002 premium in inspiration yellow with performance white hardtop and it is gorgeous but I do like the idea of an extra 28 hp from the 2003 and later models. I read about the horsepower difference between 2002 and subsequent years with a variable valve timing. of course we know the limited additions are more desirable but we are looking at getting a premium.

My wife and I are considering adding a 11th generation Thunderbird to our collection and are wondering if any particular year is more desirable than others.
