The years after World War II saw manufacturers of every sort lean towards the personal luxury segment. And this was the same for the automotive industry. It was a glorious era to live and experience many wonderful things, and vehicles were right there at the top. It was during this time that Ford introduced the iconic Ford Thunderbird, fondly known as the T-Bird. When introduced in 1955 it took the world by storm, its success ran on for more than four decades and eleven generations. This third-generation Ford T-Bird was manufactured in 1962 and is the vinyl roof Landau variant, the odometer reads 45,600 genuine miles and comes with a host of new parts.
Safe to say that any car looks good in black but when you do that for a classic car it just magnifies the appeal as is the case with this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau and its Raven Black paint job which was reportedly repainted. The front features a tapered design for the nose. Quad headlights flank the slim chrome-painted grille, while the hood is host to a hood scoop with chrome trim and the Thunderbird badge on the front edge. The black vinyl roof C-pillar features chrome simulated S-bars while the rear quarter panel is host to a trio of chrome faux vents. The rear jet-inspired taillights are housed in chrome bezels which flow seamlessly into the rear chrome bumper. On entry, you are greeted by the subtle Thunderbird logo on the door sills to the original black vinyl and chrome interior. Luxury is taken to the letter, with the interiors design and trim. A slim vintage steering wheel in black and chrome with the Thunderbird logo in the center takes the spotlight, behind it is the black-faced gauges and dials. While the dash chrome trim flows to the center console as well. The original radio is in place.
The ’60s were an era of excess, as such this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau features a 6.4L V8 coupled to the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic MX automatic transmission. The seller reports it is a number-matching vehicle. A new fuel pump, and new fuel sensor, have reportedly been replaced, while a recent oil change was done on the vehicle. Ensuring a good grip while driving are reportedly new tires wrapped around the chrome vintage wheels.
Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.
The car that started it all, and gave Americans a taste of the fine Grand Touring style of motoring that Europeans had perfected. Ford’s T-Bird was billed as a Personal Luxury Car when it debuted in 1955, offering two seats, a brawny V8 under the hood, effortless long-distance cruiser capabilities, and the best luxuries in the cabin. Ten generations were made, with an eleventh homage-styled generation following them a few years later. Finding a T-Bird isn’t that hard, but you’d likely want a good one. Why not choose this 1962 Ford Thunderbird as your T-Bird of choice? Packing some useful upgrades, this car has done a little over 51,000 miles so far. So, it’s got plenty of life remaining, and will be glad to live it in your hands. Also, it’s a numbers-matching vehicle, a factor that ensures it will not only retain, but appreciate in value.
The eleventh generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was a retro-modern homage to the one that started the whole Personal Luxury Car craze in the United States. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
You might be thinking “Boy, I’ve sure been seeing a lot of first-gen Ford Mustangs for sale lately”. Well, that’s due to no fault of the car; rather the fact that Ford sold them by the bucketload. Introduced in September 1964, 121,000 units were sold in the last three months of that year, with 22,000 orders taken on the first day itself! The next year, 1965, would see sales balloon to over 559,000 for that year alone. So, this 1965 Ford Mustang is one of over 559,000 that were made. This is great, because it means that getting your hands on a classic first-generation Mustang is relatively easy. After all, wouldn’t you think that it’s one of the best starter classics? This particular car has received a host of mechanical refreshments and upgrades, making it an absolute beauty to drive.
The fifth-generation Ford Mustang reinvented itself as a design icon, blending retro cues with a decidedly modern drivetrain. While the 2010 Mustang was available in many potent flavors, one of the most sought after was undeniably the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake. When it was launched, it was the most powerful production Mustang ever made, with a reported 500 hp on tap. The GT500 Mustang was breathed upon by the engineers at Shelby, a company that has had a long association with fast Fords. It featured a supercharged V8 engine and many other performance upgrades. Our featured example takes this one step further with many upgrades, including improved suspension and brakes. Read on to find more!
