Find out how rare your car is...

Tell me the year, color of body & top, what interior and if it’s a Deluxe or Premium and I’ll tell you how many were made like yours. Sorry, can only do '02s & '03s - they’re still making 2004s so that data won’t be available until July.

Unless you state otherwise Premium with the removable hardtop assumed.

My ‘02 Blue/Blue/Black Accent Premium is one of 840 made.

Ted,

For White/White/Full Red 2003 Premium there were 274 made.

The total 2003 production was only 14,505 cars because Ford got a late start waiting for the improved engines and the cars were only in production for eight months.

Question

I don't really know what I have as to Deluxe or Premium. It is an 03 Torch Red with the red and black interior. I have heated seats, removable top, the select shift trans, and all the standard things I.E. CD changer, premium sound system, etc. I have looked at the window sticker and all the papers I got when I bought it (new) and I cannot find anything that says Deluxe, Premium, Standard or anything else. Pardon my ignorance but I never even heard those terms until I joined this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my info Quick, hope it is all you need;

2003 Premium, Whisper white top/bottom, all black interior. Optional equipment - select shift transmission and black ink accent.

The difference between the Deluxe and the Premium, is minimal: The Premium has heated seats and the 7 blade chrome wheels; The Deluxe does not have heated seats and has the 21 spoke painted wheels.

Oh, forgot. Welcome JLB, I noticed you joined several months ago. Glad to finally hear from you. Have you had any trouble with your T-Bird battery?

Quickdraw - Mine is a 02 Premium yellow / yellow with full accent, supplemental park lamps and the optional traction control. Traction control was standard in 03, but optional in 02.

Do you have chrome wheels? (I suspect so). The premium with a hardtop is Order Code 130A and that number should be on the sticker. And do you have the full or partial red interior? The partial red interior had just the red seat inserts while the full interior accent has the red on the door panels and dash also.
If your 2003 has the partial red (seats only) your red/red top/partial red interior red premium is one of 411. If you have the red/red top/full red interior premium yours is one of 1,100. If your top isn’t red or anything else is different let us know. Welcome to the Thunderbird forum JLB. Don’t hesitate to post your questions or concerns about your car – we all learn from each other.

Sophia,
Your white/white/black accent premium ’03 is one of 616.

Lon,
Welcome back Lon! You used to be a regular here, hope you can visit regularly again. And thank you for the assist with the numbers for RacerRoger.

Raven,
There were 496 black/black/saddle premium ’03s made. And WELCOME!! Please don’t hesitate to post.

Quickdraw, was the white top an option for a Red car in 02?

The only brochure I've got is from 03

Yes, for both the 2002 and 2003 you ccould get the red, white or black top from the factory on red cars. There were a total of 401 red 2002s that left the factory with a white top and a total of 178 red 2003s that left he factory with white tops.
