new owner of a '04 Blackbird

[billm]

As a newly registered member in Mississipi, I will say that I finally broke down and bought a black '04 in March of this year, essentially new, with 3,000 miles on it, and have put less than 100 miles on it since then. Had plans to buy a red one when they were introduced, but would not pay the 5 to 7T over list that dealers were wanting, finally settled for the back one when all I could find for sale began to show up with considerable miles on them. Have been looking to see if there is a Tbird group meeting in the Hattiesburg area, but so far, haven't found one. Enjoying the postings!

William, welcome to TBN. We're just up the road from you in Madison, MS. Don't know of any meetings here in Mississippi (yet), but you need to check out Choo-Choo Thunder in October. There you will be able to meet a bunch of crazy retro T-Bird owners. I'll guarantee that you will like it.


TBN is

Welcome to the nest, Bill! If possible please do come up to CC Thunder in Chattanooga!

And just as a tease, you should post a pic soon...here's one like yours that was parked in my front yard at T@TWH in July.

Black is THE right color for these cars Henry Fords favorite and mine too. (and yes they are the fastest ones)

Re: new owner of a '04 Blackbird

Welcome, your desire for the RED Bird is understandable, but a Bird of any color is a great ride.

Welcome to the nest! William, I too bought a "pre-owned" Thunderbird in 2006. She "Annie" had just a smidge over 10,000 miles on her odometer and now has over 48,000. Drive it and enjoy it, this past summer I went on a road trip with another TBNer and we covered 22 states and 10,400 miles without a bit of car trouble. Let the next owner, after your estate is settled, worry about restoring your well used "classic Thunderbird"!
