2/9/02 Changed the name to be more descriptive.

4/14/02 Updated to reflect my new user name.

I am not affiliated with Ford Motor Company, all the data I gather comes from individuals with an interest in the new Thunderbird.

The files will be updated on a regular basis depending on the amount of data received since the last update.

For the new people on the board, I have been collecting data on all the Birds that I can, so if you have any of the below information on your car, I would appreciate receiving it.

The plots that I post on the Yahoo group site, thenewtbirddata have estimates on build/ETA/delivery dates along with a model breakdown. Due to the limited data that I have, I feel that the estimations may be optimistic, however it will give you a rough idea of build/ETA/delivery dates. As more data is gathered the better the fits will be. For this reason I would appreciate as many build dates/ETA's/delivery dates that I can get. Keep in mind that these are estimates and should not be taken as absolute.

The plots are located in both the files section (.jpg extension) and the photo section. The data is located in the files section in the 2002 TBird Data Files folder.

You can post your info here or email it to me at the below address. If you email me the data your email name will be used as the owner. When submiting data please include as much as possible of the following:

Your full 17 digit VIN, build week, ETA, delivery date, destination (where it is being delivered to, not necessarily where you live) exterior color, top color, model (premium or deluxe), interior color (full, partial, accent or standard), your name if you want it included and any remarks.

We have also found that the build rotation/sequence number is on one of the VIN stickers located on the fenders (front, rear, left and right), hood, trunk, and the doors (there may be more locations that I am currently not aware of). The rotation/sequence number is the actual order of production. It will be a four digit number above the VIN on one of the stickers. If you have a high VIN and low rotation number, add 9960 to the rotation number to find the actual production number of the car. Example: my VIN is 2532 but the rotation number is 2167, indicating that my car was the 2167th 2002 Thunderbird built or VIN 10619 has rotation # 0160 so it was the 10120th car built (160+9960=10120).

Also if you could include your position in the dealer allocation (# of #) it would be useful in giving people who have not received a VIN an idea of when they might.

The usual sequence for vehicle order status is as follows:

(1) clean/unscheduled (2) submitted to plant (3) scheduled (4) locked in (no changes to order allowed) (5) bucked (implies that production of the vehicle has commenced) (6) produced (7) released from plant (8) assignment of a railcar or released to convoy (9) arrived at ramp (rail yard or distribution center near delivery site) (10) if not assigned in step 8, released to convoy.

Thanx,

Yes, and it's a twin to mine - too bad they can't do both at the same time!

It was a beautiful morning in Houston today, so I drove the blue Bird to work. On the way, I went by Mac Haik Ford, and they have a new red premium, partial red interior, hardtop with the shipping wrap still on it. A salesman said the guy who ordered it changed his mind, and the car is available. They want $5K over the sticker price of $40,040. VIN is 1FAHP60A02Y115296. A friend at work is looking for a red Bird, but doesn't want to pay over sticker. I'm sending them over there today...

My yellow premium/yellow top/full yellow interior is VIN# 1FAHP60A92Y113403.
It was built the week of 3/18 and arrived at the dealer on 4/1/02. I ordered it on 1/15/01 (14+ months from order to delivery). Is that a record? I was originally 4/13 in rotation, but I'm sure the dealer bumped me more than once. When the salesman called to tell me the car was in, I thought it was an April Fool's joke!

The only stickers on the car were on the driver's door (RK05 F52031) and windshield (E37 24179). I don't know if these numbers are significant at all.

Joe,

I no sooner finished my first post, then found the rotation number on the left front fender. It is 3446. So mine was the 13406th car built (3446+9960).
