She was featured on the front cover of the September/October 2012 issue of the VTCI Scoop magazine. Currently the odometer reads 11,782 original miles. I have a number of documents from prior owners to verify mileage. It's very difficult to say how many low-mileage survivors of a given model still exist, but this must surely be one of the lowest mileage Bulletbirds remaining.
Other than some underhood wear parts, mufflers, two headlights and new repro wheels and tires, the car is totally factory original and truly defines the term "time capsule car". The interior especially is in remarkable condition and presents as a one year old car would. Dash pad and vinyl upholstery are free of cracks and retain the rich red color which puts repro materials to shame. Chrome and stainless trim are also in excellent original shape. It's obvious the car has been garage stored and covered the vast majority of its life.
I believe it's important, given the historical significance of this car, that it remain in the hands of a Thunderbird enthusiast. So this forum is the only place where it is currently advertised. I don't want it to fall into the hands of a "flipper" whose only interest is to sell the car for a quick profit. She deserves better than that!
So if you're a Thunderbird fan interested in discovering the joy of driving a nearly-new Bulletbird, please reply via PM. I will be more than happy to discuss the car's interesting history, appraised value and answer any questions you may have. As for shipping, I will be pleased to assist in any way I can but the buyer would be responsible for covering the cost.
Speaking of cost, I have set the price at $22,000 CAD. At current exchange rates that's about $21,100 USD. Purchase price includes the full set of original wheels and tires, still with good tread (!), original owner's manual and other documentation, professionally made car show sign, and a full set of repro manuals. Due to garage space limitations sorry, but no trades. Thanks for your interest!
