The Ford Thunderbird is a personal luxury car made by Ford across ten generations between 1955 and 1997. A retro-modern homage briefly made an appearance between 2002 and 2005. The Thunderbird was created for Ford to offer a car that enabled comfortable, luxurious and smooth long-distance touring for two adults and their luggage. Soon enough, though, Ford realized that adding a rear seat would broaden the appeal of the T-Bird. If you’d been intrigued as to what a T-Bird is like to own and drive, check out this classic third-generation 1963 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now. Coming from Washington, this car has journeyed for 81,839 miles so far.
This silver and gray two-tone 1963 Ford Thunderbird showcases one of the third generation’s most striking design features, which is its quad headlamp-endowed front end that curves downwards when viewed from a side. Styled by Bill Boyer, it was meant to be sleeker and lower than the outgoing second generation. The rear wheels are semi-faired in via wheel spats, and you’ve got those iconic turbine-inspired rear lamp clusters, because cars were taking inspiration from those newfangled Jet Aircraft that were becoming popular by the Sixties. The interior of this 1963 Ford Thunderbird comes in black, and this car features the Swing-Away Steering system. This allows for easier entry and exit by the driver, by swinging the steering column to the right hand side. This feature can only be used when the transmission is set to Park, and to avoid accidental shifting, the gear lever is automatically disabled when the steering wheel is swung away from the driving position. Isn’t that neat? The rest of the interior looks similarly stock, with the exception of a retro modern-styled radio that comes with a cassette tape player and an AUX input.
Powering this 1963 Ford Thunderbird is a potent 390ci V8, paired with a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive configuration. The car has power steering for an easy driving experience, and power brakes to ensure that you can bring it to a stop with grace and panache. We’re also told that the car has received a new battery.

Ford’s Thunderbird was a trailblazer in the ʼ50s and '60s. Envisioned to bring Americans a slice of that luxury grand touring lifestyle that Europeans were enjoying, the T-Bird as it was affectionately called, started life as a two-seater. Over time, it gained a rear seat as well, since Ford realized that some people liked to take their children along too, plus a rear seat meant that the car was better suited to regular family life. Ten generations of T-Bird graced our roads between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford decided to create a homage, and the eleventh generation was made. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one of those cars, and with just 31,368 units made for 2002, you’re part of a pretty exclusive club now. You see, the eleventh generation is poised to become a future classic, so this 28,475-mile car is a savvy investment too.
In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
Ford’s Mustang has been around for over sixty years and is now in its seventh generation. It’s one of those relatively rare nameplates that’s been around since the time of your parents, and your grandparents as well, if you’re a Millenial or Gen Z’er. Few automotive nameplates can claim such fame, or celebrate anniversaries in spades. Take this fourth-generation 2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe Convertible 40th Anniversary as a prime example. Having traveled a smidge over 28,000 miles and currently chilling out in Maryland, this drop-top pony could be your weekend ride, as well as a significant nest egg, given that it’ll be a classic very soon. The car reportedly comes with all maintenance up to date, for peace of mind.

Imperial is a brand that many people today won’t remember, or know about at all. So let us give you a quick history lesson. In 1926, Chrysler Corporation started using the Imperial tag to denote the top-tier trim level of their finest automobiles. This remained the status quo until 1955, when Imperial was spun off as a separate brand under the Chrysler Corporation. It represented the brand’s luxury offerings, and gave us cars like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic. This car is a second-generation example with 51,000 miles on the clock and it currently resides in Naples, Florida. Why not buy it as a tasteful classic car as well as a smart future investment?
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
