Note : The existence of these cars (with c.u.n.s that are higher than the official production number) suggests that more units were built than Ford records indicate.

In addition, it is possible that some Thunderbirds' consecutive unit number and VIN were scrapped before they were ever built or before they left the assembly plant. It is likely, however, that the official production total does not account for all Thunderbirds actually built in any given model year.
