1996 Thunderbird 4.6; August 2025

[1997ThunderbirdLXV6]

This car is currently in my local yard. A bit over 200,000 miles, last inspection in 2024, it lived a full life. Almost all parts are very worn and/or faded. Nothing for me to pick up really. I will say that it has a fully intact header panel, but I don't pick those up unless I have a buyer lined up. Just FYI for anyone wanting to make a trip.

Are those clear corner lights?

Nope. Those are faded corners!

Looks like a 97 LE.

Looks like a 97 LE.

Interesting thing: yes and no. It did have the Limited Edition package applied (I have the badges for sale if anyone is looking), but it wasn't a '97.

It was a '96...which is weird because the L.E. package should only be '97, no?!

...maybe the dealer had it leftover from the previous year, and just decided to add the stripes, etc.
