Porthole Authority WeBlog

Detailed Color Statistics for the 2002 to 2005 have been posted on the color pages of my main website at www.portholeauthority.com.  They are in pdf format so you may download easily and print for your own reference.  The files cover how many made of a particular color, interior and hardtop combination.

Sorry, I do not have the breakdown for wheel styles or transmission shifter style.

March 2009 - Due to increased spam on the blog, I have removed some of the other entries that people may have needed the info on - please check in with Thunderbirdnest.com for that info.

The following are the rarest of the 2004 and 2005s - not taking into account the softtop color, boots, transmission, supplemental parking lamps, or wheel styles as you'll find on the 2003 rarest stats.  There are only "one of" the following:

Year Body Color, Hard Top, Interior Color , Count

2004 Evening Black, None, Performance White Partial Accent 1
2004 Evening Black, Performance White, Torch Red Partial Accent 1
2004 Torch Red, Performance White, Black (Standard) 1

2005 Evening Black, Performance White, Torch Red Partial Accent 1

2002 Torch Red Deluxe model, Evening Black Hardtop,  Torch Red Partial Interior Color Accent  21 Spoke Painted wheels -- 1

 I'll be posting the one of's for the 03s to 05s at later dates.  For more information on what was available on these cars, visit the rest of my website starting at  www.portholeauthority.com

Beaware that owners have been doing changes to their Thunderbirds since they came out.  The above is as released from the factory.  You may run into other combinations that were not available to be ordered as new.
