2003 Ford 007 Thunderbird

The James Bond franchise has earned over seven billion dollars in worldwide box office receipts over five decades. Part of the sensation and success over the many years have been product placement, cutting edge devices, Bon cars, and Bonds female companions. In 2003, a 2002 Ford Thunderbird was driven by Halle Berry Jinx in the Bond film, Die Another Day, and that spring, Ford offered 700 examples of the limited edition 007 Ford Thunderbird to commemorate the first featured appearance of a Thunderbird in the then 40-year history of the famous film charter. When new, they had a price tag of approximately $43,995.00.

The car is powered by a 3.9 Liter 32 Valve Aluminum DOHC V-8 engine with 280 horsepower. It has a Select Shift Transmission, with a 5-speed automatic and standard shift.

Unique to the 007 Model is the engine-turned aluminum dash and door panels like the original 1955, 1956, and 1957 Thunderbirds. Additional items include both a soft-top and removable hardtop, radio with CD player, power windows, power door locks, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes.
