2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$22,500
SOLD

The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$55,000

First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.

1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$36,500

The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.

2016 Ford Focus RS

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$28,990

Ford’s Focus isn’t that popular in America. It’s more of a European hero in the compact car class, where roads are smaller, town centers are tighter and compact cars rule the roost. Here, the Focus would be considered almost too small for our larger-than-life tastes. But hang on, what about the hot variant of the Focus? Specifically, the RS? Now we’re talking, because this is a spicy turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and 350 horses to be delivered. In fact, the engine of the third generation Focus RS, which is where this 2016 Ford Focus RS for sale hails from, is directly derived from the EcoBoost unit in the sixth-generation Mustang! So if you’re interested, this 86,000-mile car is up for sale in Riverside, California. It’s a four-door, too, so family practicality is another of its strong selling points, in case you need to convince your significant other as to why this car should be in your garage or driveway.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$17,499

The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car. Engineered with exceptional structural rigidity and advanced safety systems for its time, it delivered a refined open-top driving experience that emphasized comfort, stability, and long-distance usability. With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.

PENDING SALE
$24,999

Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.
