Your premium 2004 merlot, merlot hardtop, merlot soft top, black accent interior, SST, 7 spoke chrome wheels is one of only 13. It's your merlot soft top that made this so rare, only 100 Tbirds were made with a merlot soft top.

Your car left the factory with 7 spoke chrome wheels so the dealer or a previous owner must have put the 16 spoke wheels on it.

Quickdraw,
I had emailed Dot at PHA with the builddate question and she said you could help. I bought my 2002 in May of 08. The VIN is 1FAHP60A22Y101366. I found the small vin sticker on front fender with #1047 above it. Hope you can help, Dick

Yes the softtop is sand colored. Your car came with the front license plate bracket, engine oil cooler, was originally a red carpet lease, and it did leave the factory with the soft top boot cover.
Your premium 2005 steel blue, steel blue hardtop, sand interior, SST, 7 spoke chrome wheels is one of 147.

Your premium 2002 black, black hardtop, black accent interior, 7 spoke chrome wheels is one of 4,705 made like that. This, by the way, is the most popular combination of colors and options of all the 2002-2005 Thunderbirds.
Your "Early Bird" name is fitting, of the 68,098 2002-05 Thunderbirds built, only 391 were ordered before 1/8/01, and only 1,482 were built before 7/19/01.

Welcome to the site and thank you very much for being a contributing member.

Quickdraw, Can you do 1996 Birds. We bought ours new in March of 1996. The dealer is family. It was brought to us from Illinois. I would like to know all of the basic info. Can you do? If yes, I'll send VIN. Dick

No, sorry, I only have 2002-2005 Thunderbird data.

Too fast on the trigger

VIN is 1FAHP60A52Y112281

That should make more sense.

Your premium 2002, black, black hardtop, black accent interior, 7 spoke chrome wheels is one of 4,705. This by the way was the most popular combination of colors & options of all 2002-2005 Thunderbirds.
The second most popular combination was a premium 2002 blue, blue hardtop, full blue interior, 7 spoke chrome wheels with 3,791 of those made.

 

[George]

Ski: We are pretty close. My vin is 600 earlier than yours and the car is the exact same description😀

Another question

Can you determine which number of the 4,705 it was in the production cycle?

Ski

 

[George]

Ski:
Quickdraw can confirm this - but if I remember correctly, under the hood on the right hand fender, there is a tag that says Rotation #.
Mine was 1829. Whatever your number is add that to 9960. As in mine, 1829 + 9960 = the 11,789th 2002 TBird built in 2001/2002.
Let us know if your rotation number survived and is still there.

BTW, with Quickdraws help many years ago I fould out that mine was ordered on 1-10-02, built 2-22-02 and arrived at the dealer on 3-4-02 - And there it sat until my dealer in NH found it and brought it down and I bought it on 8-5-02. Picked it up and it's been in MA ever since.😎

I hope this helps

EDIT: Wow I just bumped your numbers against mine for a comparason:
Your order date 6-18-01 and mine 1-10-02, I didn't think they were allowed to take orders that soon. My dealer wouldn't.
Your Build date 2-27-02 and mine 2-22-02, 5 days earlier, that's why the vin difference.
Yours to dealer 3-4-02 mine also 3-4-02
Yours sold on 3-6-02 mine 8-5-02

Ski, checkout post #350. We have twins. My question is did you buy yours new? If yes, do you still have your window sticker. I bought mine used last May and would like to get a copy of the 2002 window sticker so I could put my info onto it in photoshop to make a window cling for area events. All options should be the same. Dick, Brookfield, Wi.

Early Bird....We almost posted at the same time. I went back to your post 350 and saw that your fender sticker may have been a rotation number.
If so, I took 1047 = 9960 and came up with 11,007th one built😎
