Hello Jodrod
I think it's great that you want to document these exceptional vehicles for future reference and I'll supply you with as much info as I have about my special ride at the end of this message.
I just learned of this site a couple of days ago and have been prowling around reading some of the experiences that folks have gone through waiting for their beloved birds to arrive. My story is very different. We have loved the car since we first saw drawings and a picture of the prototype back in 1998 but were resigned to waiting until the prices and demand settled down before attempting a purchase. My duaghter and I were prowling the Ford lots in Tulsa in October and test drove a Ford Lightning. Afterwards, we were invited to enter a drawing and out of 4,500 entries, we won our Thunderbird.
Here are the details we have on the car:
VIN: 1FAHP60A52Y101216
Delivered to: Tulsa Auto Collection, Tulsa, Ok.
We're not sure of the delivery date but have a call into the dealership to learn more. We took ownership on 12/22/01 -- Merry Christmas!
The car is Yellow with a Yellow
Hardtop, Premium Model with the Full Optional Interior Color Package.
I'll let you know when I learn more about delivery details if that is something you wish to see.
Owners -- Jerry & Glenda Tilley
