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 ’90s was a time when computer-aided automotive design was really taking off, with even more attention paid to the way that aerodynamics influence performance. This is evident in the 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX’s streamlined and clean outer appearance. It features a relatively low front end and has a shorter wheelbase than its predecessor. This, being a facelifted model, features an updated appearance, with the Thunderbird emblem appearing on the grille and a more curvaceous hood injecting some pizzaz into the design. Our featured example is painted in black and is reportedly all-original, right down to the chrome wheels, which are wrapped in Firestone tires. The originality extends to the interior. Images of the interior confirm the low mileage, with a four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel that looks virtually factory fresh, pedals that are sans wear, and uncracked dashboard plastics. The 1997 Ford Thunderbird was relatively loaded for its era, featuring gray cloth upholstery, cruise control, power windows, a tilt steering wheel, and a power sunroof.
Under the hood lies a 3.8-liter V6 powerplant, which reportedly outputs 155 hp in this application. The naturally aspirated V6 engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This all-original car appears to be unmolested under the hood, with no modifications reported and up an up-to-date servicing history to ensure this time capsule of a car continues for many more years to come.

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.
This 1962 Ford F100 Custom Restomod represents the culmination of a meticulous four-year, ground-up build that blends vintage styling with modern performance and craftsmanship.

It has won numerous awards, including an NSRA Safety 23 Certificate, and was never transported to events or shows via trailer. Featuring a custom-built chassis from Scott’s Hotrods and Customs, high-performance drivetrain components, and a stunning beige and bronze exterior paint scheme, this F100 is a unique example of restomod excellence. A detailed photo build book, along with receipts and documentation, accompanies the vehicle.

In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
