Two Owner, 2003 James Bond 007 Special Edition Thunderbird. Private owner/collector. Driven by Wife since April 2007. Acquired at 12,737 miles. Currently has less than 25,000 miles. Upgrades include; Pioneer Stereo with Navigation, Backup Camera, Optional Full-time Rear-view Camera and hard drive to store your CD'S. Rear-view Mirror w/ 3 position Home Link Garage Door Openers. The Thunderbird did not come with a factory Dome Light. See images on custom dome lights which come on when doors are open or by use of toggle switch. The car also has a brand new battery which is available only from FORD. This car has been maintained in near new condition. There are several pin head sized rock chips in the leading edge of the hood pictured below. We own several convertibles. Because of this, we never removed the Hard Top from this Thunderbird. This is important because of damage and scratches that can result from removal, replacement and storage of the top. PLEASE NOTE: In Some images below, the car May Appear to be RED, it is NOT! The Car Color is CORAL. Some May Call it "SALMON" Colored. From Porthole Authority http://www.portholeauthority.com/thenewtbird/2003/007edition.html A Short History: This car is a representation of the 2002 Thunderbird that appeared briefly in the anniversary Bond movie "Die Another Day" starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Halle Berry as Jinx. Halle was the driver of the Thunderbird in the movie. The movie premiered in the USA on November 22, 2002. It's reported that the original car was offered to Halle but she turned it down opting instead for an Evening Black 2002. Wonder what happened to the original??[see next paragraph] The car in the movie had a coral top instead of the white top offered with the special edition and was a 2002, not the 2003 that the edition comes as. Update 2010: The movie car appeared on display at Ford's 100th Anniversary in 2003 at the Ford World Headquarters. The vin # ended with 0442 and was a 2002 model according to the person who sent me the following picture. I also had a report from inside Wixom that there were two models painted that color in early spring or late winter 2002. Just recently, May 2010, one of those cars was auctioned off for charity (Juvenile Diabetes Association), donated by a member of the Ford family. It's vin # ended with 0441 according to the Ford paper work that was available to those interested in the auction. An interesting bit of trivia went along with the car that was auctioned. It stated that inside the trunk was a set of white slip covers for the car's role in the movie. They were not "on" the seats due to the covers not meeting air bag safety standards, ie, the seat side air bags would not deploy correctly with the slip covers in place. I don't have any other actual verification of the numbers other than reported to me. However I do have a picture of one of those cars in the Ford display area at the 100th Anniversary celebration in Dearborn that was sent to me this past year. MSRP was $43,995 From BOND LIFESTYLE http://www.jamesbondlifestyle.com/product/2003-ford-thunderbird-limited-edition-007 In the spring of 2003, Ford sold 700 limited edition 007 Ford Thunderbirds to commemorate the first appearance of a Thunderbird in the 40-year history of the James Bond film franchise (although, as pointed out below in the comments by Thomas, a Thunderbird was also seen in Goldfinger, driven by Felix Leiter in Kentucky). A 2002 Thunderbird was driven in the Bond filmDie Another Day by Bond girl Halle Berry (Jinx). The Coral paint, similar to the Sunset Coral hue offered on the 1956 Thunderbird, matches the bikini Berry wears in her role as Jinx. The car in the movie had a coral hard-top instead of the white top offered with the special edition and was a 2002 model, not the 2003 that the 007 edition comes as.
