how 'bout one more?

1FAHP60A12Y124234 2002 Premium Yellow White 3833 Thank you Quick..........

 

[Quickdraw]

Sure FreeBird, Ill check it tomorrow. You have a white top? You don't mean you have a white interior? And whats the 3833?

See, I have more questions than you had for me... 😀

 

[Free as a Bird]

Yes.....white top...../full interior/ 3833 is the rotation number. Thank you Quick.

 

[Quickdraw]

I suppose you know your yellow/white/full Premium is only one of 80 made? And judging from your high VIN it looks as if your rotation number is the third time around for 3833....

Quick,

I'm both new to the forum and a new owner. I bought my 2002 "Blackbird" just over 2 weeks ago, and I love it. It was a one-owner trade-in that I purchased from a Ford dealer. I know the original owner took delivery in October 2002.

The car has some options that I understood to be offered only on the 2003 models. For instance, the car has the SelectShift automatic, 2 speed variable interval wipers, and the 280 hp rated engine. Perhaps Ford integrated some of the 2003 changes into late-year 2002's? The car is titled as a 2002 vehicle, so I'm curious to discover it's "birthday."

Any additional information you can provide about the car would be greatly appreciated. My VIN is 1FAHP60A82Y125042.

2002 SR-71 and TonyC,
The system I access to check build dates has been acting up lately and I can't get you the info right away... maybe a couple more days, I check it every day and will get it for you as soon as it's back on-line.

2002 SR-71,
Yours is the second such 2002 I've heard of with the 2003 engine. The other guy also got the 2003 boot, (folds up) but I don't know if the dealer switched the boot or if it came from the factory like that. That would be sweet to have the 2003 engine - they say the extra 28 horsepower is very noticeable. How did you know it was the 280hp engine? I forget does it have the HP on the engine cover?

Thanks,I will look forward to hearing from you.Tony C

Quick,

I'm trying to remember where I found the hp info, but I'll check this evening. It's in a dark parking garage at work at the moment. She definitely has the "get up and go"... I test drove an '04 and my car before deciding upon my purchase, and I couldn't discern any difference in the acceleration between the two.

Mine is black with a black hard top and black interior. She had only 29,000 miles when purchased, and I've put another 1,000 in the past couple weeks. It's my only vehicle, but I live only 4 miles from work and she's garaged at both ends.

I fell in love with the Thunderbirds when I saw an original black 1957 for the first time many years ago. My best friends' father had bought the car new from a dealer in Arkansas, and he's had it ever since. I have fond memories of riding around in that car, and the reactions of people seeing it. My car evokes similar responses, which is a pleasant symetry.

Look forward to participating in the forums here, and thanks again for your help.

Jack, 2002 SR-71

tbird2003,
Thank you very much, but your link doesn't work. Not your fault but unfortunately this, as most other sites, block out competing websites URLs. I found the below information where I think you wanted to refer to however it doesn't show build date or sale date. I hope to have that soon. If you found data elsewhere with the build date and sale date please copy & paste it here.

QuickDraw,

I you found the site. I just wanted to make it known that the registry has info about all models of T-Birds and that owners of used birds could search to see if there cars were registered by someone else.
