Ford's Thunderbird, or T-Bird, is an American automotive trailblazer. Ford created it to bring a slice of the European Grand Tourer to America. Called the Personal Luxury Car, the first generation Thunderbird ran between 1955 and 1957. Since then, eleven generations have been produced until 2005. This particular 1956 Ford Thunderbird has a light 54,228 miles on its odometer and awaits its next owner. The current owner reports it to be an all-original car.
Sporting a clean white coat, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird comes with a removable hard top, replete with the porthole side window that was introduced in 1956 to improve rear visibility. The current owner includes the hard top storage rack, which helps you store the hard top in your garage when not required. There's also a hard shell spare cover thrown in for good measure. The current owner says that the car comes with all tires, and the spare is claimed to be in excellent condition. Looking further, we see that the bodywork is in excellent condition for a car of this age. The head and tail lamp lenses appear clear, and the badging is present. The red and white cabin of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird is a two-seat affair with a single bench seat. You'll find a lovely Art Deco design dashboard with comprehensive instrumentation, including a tachometer. The floor-mounted gear shifter has a chrome surround, as does the steering wheel's horn ring. Other chrome elements include the door opening pulls and window winders. The dashboard houses the original push-button radio, plus heater controls.
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is powered by a 312ci Y-Block V8 that will have made approximately 210 horsepower. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. The current owner of this car tells us that the engine needs a new carburetor. We're also informed that the car's generator is a brand-new unit. Braking is via drums on all four wheels, providing adequate stopping power for a car that's meant to be driven in a smooth and sedate manner.

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.
Ford’s segment creator, the Thunderbird brought us the Personal Luxury Car in 1955. Ten generations of T-Bird were made until 1997, and an eleventh was sold from 2002 to 2005. Even today, the Thunderbird evokes strong recognition and remains a desirable classic car for many, especially those whose parents or grandparents owned a T-Bird back then. If you’re one of those people, we have this second-generation 1959 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe for sale in our inventory. Coming from Woodbine, Georgia, this 98,461-mile car packs a 352 under the hood, a two-tone interior and an automatic gearbox too. Call us if you’d like to own it.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
