Ask Quickdraw or Dot. Quickdraw can tell you when it was ordered, built, delivered, sold how many that color combo and total built.. he has a sticky post "info on your 02-05 bird"

Billy:
On the same page you find this thread is one entitled "Find out how rare your 2002-2005 TB is"
Click on that and enter your data on last page. When Quickdraw is available he is very responsive.

production numbers

I wonder if Ford Motor Company would confirm actual production numbers of Thunderbirds produced in model years 2002 - 2005. Wasn't 25,000 per year originally planned production? Where would there be a web site or info confirming actual production verified by Ford. I believe your figures are pretty close from what I've read about sales on wikipedia. Thanks, Andy

Andy:
I don't think you'll get Ford to confirm the numbers. However, the numbers I posted are from Quickdraw who worked at Ford and kept us all tuned in from initial announcement of the Retro-Birds through to the final 2005 produced - Then he retired. Therefore I believe those numbers I posted to be accurate.
Yes the initial plans were to build 25,000 a year for 4 years. But as we all know Ford really never spent a lot of marketing/sales dollars, which resulted in very sluggish sales. Thus only 68,000 new Birds.
Lots of data on Dot's site. If you can't get there, PM or email me for URL

Production

George, Thanks for the info. I'm with you. The 68,000 figure sounds good to me. I have a 2005 and a friend has a 2005 Limited Edition, one of 1500. The fewer number out there makes me believe there is more value to these "rare birds." I love mine and have two friends who love theirs. Again, thanks for the info ---made my day. Andy
