When you think of great automotive design throughout the years, there's an unlikely addition to one of the greats. The classic Ford Thunderbird was a legend when it rolled off the factory floors, with looks that defined the American automotive scene in the '50s and performance intended to match the legendary first-generation Corvette. Present today is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird; this American classic is in pristine condition and is looking for a new custodian to navigate weekend drives in style.
Iconic is the best way to sum up the first-generation Ford Thunderbird's design. Highlighting that iconic design period is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird in its Colonial white exterior. It's a color that matches this large American classic to a tee. A quick walk around this classic beauty, and you would note a white hard top in place; this, of course, can be swapped out for a Black convertible top when you feel like it. Additionally, the car's exterior components are reported to be in excellent shape. In keeping with the car's factory design appeal, this American classic sits on multi-spoke wire wheels wrapped with white wall tires. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird's smooth and timeless design transitions into a color-matched white interior. Like the exterior, the interior is in excellent shape and features an AM radio for your tunes. Power windows are a further modern convenience we take for granted today, but would have been a talking point when the car was new.
In terms of firepower, this first-generation Ford Thunderbird sure has the goods to bring about an enjoyable driving experience. Pop open the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird, and what you will find is a 312ci V8 motor. A closer look at the engine bay shows that everything is in check; the engine bay is in factory condition and is photoshoot-ready. Independent suspension with coil springs for a refined drive feel brings a smooth drive to this whole affair. Speaking of drive feel, this American classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a Ford O Matic Three Speed Automatic Transmission.

The Ford Thunderbird has had many forms. Despite being a sporty-looking two-door convertible or coupe, the T-Bird has always focused on luxury and comfort, being described as a “personal luxury car.” Having graduated from the two-seater layout to more of a 2+2 configuration in the late 50s, the third-generation Thunderbird had to bring something new to the table. And that it did, with one of the most recognizable shapes of the Thunderbird’s entire production run. The third-generation Ford Thunderbird also introduced many new innovative features. In addition to luxuries such as power steering and power brakes, the Thunderbird introduced a novel steering wheel that could be swung to the side to aid driver egress and ingress. Our featured 1963 Ford Thunderbird has reportedly undergone a full restoration. While the mileage since the engine rebuild is unknown, the chassis boasts an original 73,000 miles. This classic Ford provides the perfect opportunity to experience one of the most iconic cars of the ’60s.
The original Ford Thunderbird may have appeared around the same time as the Chevrolet Corvette, but each model had very different philosophies. While the Corvette tried to focus on sporting pedigree and performance, the Thunderbird appealed to the more traditional consumer—one who cared more about comfort, cruising, and exploring the blacktop. If that’s the kind of classic motoring experience you’re looking for, then look no further than our 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The original Ford Thunderbird is known for its good looks and luxurious features. Our featured car comes with a reported 63,500 miles on the odometer and a recently rebuilt transmission.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
If there’s one thing the classic Ford Bronco community is known for, it's their diverse aftermarket community. From concourse-level restorations to LS-swapped restomods, we’ve seen them all — and that includes several EV conversions, too. So it’s good to see the same custom spirit being kept alive with the modern reincarnation of the Ford Bronco nameplate. This 2023 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4x4 is the perfect example, having been extensively modified by the team at SoFlo Jeeps. SoFlo Jeeps’ extensive customization work features their signature Kevlar armor coating. You’ll also find upgrades to many exterior and interior areas, while this 5,300-mile-old Ford Bronco also sports a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.
Carroll Shelby was a racer at heart. But when he wasn’t racing, he was frequently found making Fords go faster. That's one reason why the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a model known by all in the car community. The S197-generation Ford Mustang revived the Shelby GT500 moniker thanks to a collaboration between Ford’s Special Vehicle Team and Shelby American. The resultant product featured a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine under the hood, with a nice round figure of 500 hp to the rear wheels. And while any Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is special, our featured car takes things a step further. It includes a Kenne Bell Mammoth 1100HP supercharger, along with multiple other upgrades and unique styling additions. With just 12,950 miles reported, this 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe is the ideal car for those looking for something to stand out from the crowd.
Some classic cars aren't always for the faint of heart; exotic models require specialist attention, while others need a helping hand with parts. But that's not true of everything. Some classics don't dent your finances and, in rare cases, can even be used on a daily basis. Present today is one of those rare cases, and it takes shape with this lovely 1989 Ford F-150. This classic truck is an excellent example of Ford's legendary F series trucks and is reported to have seen a full restoration to ensure more time behind the wheel or serve as the centerpiece to your classic car collection.
While there have been multiple generations of the Chevrolet Camaro, the 1969 model year is one of the most loved by many. The design is timeless and inspired the 2010 revival of the model with the fifth generation. The Camaro was made in response to the success of Ford’s hit, the Mustang. Although the Blue Oval had a headstart, the first-generation Camaro was able to fine-tune the formula, using a brand new F-Body platform and a range of straight-six and V8 engines. For the 1969 model year, the Camaro featured an all-new design, with an aggressive and angular front end, wider “coke-bottle” hips, and new doors. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a restomod with a new supercharged 376ci LSX V8 engine under the hood, as well as several upgrades. The owner reports that this Camaro has only 5,828 miles on it since the build was completed.
The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
It’s not often that concept cars translate well into production. Concepts usually don’t have to bend to legislation or practicality and are therefore often left as flights of fancy, perhaps spurring a watered-down production car bearing a few minor elements. But for the Chevrolet Corvette C3, the links between it and the Mako Shark II concept car are a dead giveaway. The C3 was a departure for the Corvette line, and included a long hood, concealed headlights, and a short deck. The same silhouette set the tone for virtually every generation of ’Vette that followed. Our featured car is a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with an exceptionally low mileage of just 25,591. The current owner even reports having documentation on hand to authenticate the car’s mileage.
