Go to the following link for full info on 2003 Bird. Read down and you will see it also offers a new manual shiffting option on the automatic tranny, along with new analog instrument panel!! http://media.ford.com/products/presskit_display.cfm?vehicle_id=700&press_subsection_id=421&make_id=92

I thought "coral" was supposed to be a color? what happened?

Coral will be available in early 2003, in conjubnction with the new James Bond movie. Only a limited number will be available-my Ford contact tells me 700. So, not every dealer will get one. If interested, it would probably be a good idea to find several large Ford dealers in your area and get on all of their lists.

Here's a site from Ford that seems to contradict my earlier post....

Thanks for the 007 link, Bob. It doesn't appear on the picture of the coral Bird that there is a chrome strip.

What I have heard is the 700 James Bond cars will be sold the same way that the 2002 Neiman Marcus cars were sold. Supposed to be in the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog and sold when phone lines opened up

Lon:

If what you're saying is true, then that's not what is posted on the Ford site:

"To mark the occasion, Ford will create a James Bond edition Thunderbird available to customers through Ford dealers early next year."
