The history behind this collectible:

A 2002 Thunderbird was driven in the Bond filmDie Another Dayby Bond girl Halle Berry (Jinx).In the spring of 2003, ord sold 700 limited edition 007 Ford Thunderbirds to commemorate the first appearance of a Thunderbird in the 40-year history of the James Bond film franchise (although, s pointed out below in the comments by Thomas, Thunderbird was also seen inGoldfinger, riven by Felix Leiter in Kentucky).

The Coral paint, imilar to the Sunset Coral hue offered on the 1956 Thunderbird, atches the bikini Berry wears in her role as Jinx.The car in the movie had a coral hard-top instead of the white top offered with the special edition and was a 2002 model, ot the 2003 that the 007 edition comes as.

The Limited Edition 007 Thunderbird features unique coral paint, 1-spoke chrome wheels, erformance white seats and interior accents, ith an understated "007" badge placed on the instrument panel. Each vehicle also will feature a numbered, ommemorative plaque mounted on the inside of the glove box.

Apparently 694 cars were actually sold, nd 6 only used for show.
