Ford’s Thunderbird was produced from 1955 to 1997 across ten glorious generations of excellence. The Thunderbird was America’s first Personal Luxury Car, a segment created by Ford to bring Americans a slice of the European Grand Touring experience. As time passed by, the fondly-named T-Bird would remain highly relevant until it was discontinued in 1997. Priorities were changing, after all. However, in 2002, Ford deemed it suitable to debut an eleventh generation for three short years. Intended as a homage to the original, it didn’t exactly sell like hotcakes, but over 68,000 units were shifted in total. So, if you’ve always been intrigued by these quirky retro-modern machines, we’ve got a 2002 Ford Thunderbird for your consideration. It’s an all-original example with all servicing up to date and a scarcely believable 19,500 miles on the clock!
This T-Bird wears a Torch Red paint job, which really brings out its retro-modern design language. You’ll definitely notice cues from the very first 1955 T-Birds, mingled with a healthy dose of '80s and '90s elements. The chromed 17-inch wheels are perhaps the most telling signs of the latter. Moreover, this car comes with a black removable hard top that includes the famous Landau window or opera window as it was popularly known. You can remove the hardtop and keep it at home for open-air drives. If the sun becomes too intense or a sudden rain shower threatens your tranquility, the car also includes a power-operated soft top in black. So, you’re protected either way! The two-seat interior of this 2002 Ford Thunderbird is in a two-tone scheme of black and Torch Red. It offers creature comforts such as dual-zone climate control with air conditioning, a radio with an in-dash 6-CD changer, cruise control, and the usual powered conveniences.
Since the eleventh generation T-Bird was conceived when Ford owned British luxury automaker Jaguar, this 2002 Ford Thunderbird packs a 3.9-liter Jaguar V8 under the hood. The naturally aspirated unit can reportedly provide up to 252hp and 267 lb-ft, as per factory figures. Power goes to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic gearbox. All-round ventilated disc brakes are present for decent stopping power, while standard power steering makes slow speed maneuvers and parking a cinch.

Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.
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.
Jack Roush found his niche as an engine development engineer at the Ford Motor Company. A few years later, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own company called Roush Performance Engineering. With the experience he gained, he and his talented team developed state-of-the-art muscle cars that combine world-class handling with Detroit-born grunt. Not long after, his efforts sparked an overwhelming demand for his engines and components. What we have here is a 2017 Ford Mustang GT Roush Stage 3, a solid example of what Roush is capable of. According to them, you can experience raw power and meticulous handling and braking capabilities with this car. It is located in Franklin, Massachusetts with just 23,014 miles on its clock.
Ford’s F-Series full-size pickup truck has been a mainstay of American life ever since it was born in 1948. One of the Blue Oval’s longest-running nameplates, the range initially started with the F-100. From 1984, the F-150 came about as the half-ton variant in the range. Since 1977, the F-Series has been the best-selling pickup truck in the United States. What’s more, you can find ferocious performance variants that can genuinely startle the average muscle car or sports car. Take this 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake as a prime example. With well over 700 raging horses packed in a supercharged 5.0L V8, waiting to be unleashed, this 13,000-mile monster could be yours!

Here’s an interesting little curio that you won’t easily find in North America. A meticulously-restored 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet. This 168,800-mile car is basically a drop-top first generation Volkswagen Golf. The Mark I or first generation Golf saw a long production run, with the Cabriolet running well into 1993. Plus, the Mark I Golf is considered to be one of the icons of the ʼ80s; a fine-driving hot hatchback that can put a smile on anyone’s face. That’s why whoever chooses to pick up this 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet is definitely going to be very happy. Is that you, then? Call us if it is.
When it was introduced, the Pontiac Solstice was a nominee for the North American Car of the Year award. It was one of the last models built by the company before it was mothballed, which is a shame because, during its five years of production, this small, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive convertible sports car managed to find its way into the hearts of many. Our featured 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster is reported to be of exceptionally low mileage, with just 37,000 miles on the clock — that’s an average running of just over 2,000 miles per annum. This example features the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter Ecotec engine from General Motors, and puts power to the road via a five-speed manual transmission.
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.
