You also get four-wheel disc brakes to ensure efficient stopping power at all times.
Ford’s Thunderbird or T-Bird is most well known for creating the American segment of Personal Luxury Cars. Aimed at rivaling Europe’s Grand Tourers, the first generation of T-Bird was a stylish and powerful two-door, two-seat coupe or convertible, with a comfortable and lavishly-equipped passenger cabin plus a roomy trunk. It was meant as a car that would be owned by the wealthy and driven by them across great distances with nary an ache or pain at the end. Subsequent generations gained a rear seat too, since Ford realized that sticking to two seats was limiting their target market. Made for ten generations between 1955 and 1997, the T-Bird firmly entrenched itself in American automotive culture. In 2002, Ford, feeling a bit misty-eyed, decided to make a eleventh generation as a homage to the original. This eleventh generation was produced for just three years and saw over 68,000 units sold. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for sale from Sterling, Alaska. It’s got super low mileage too, less than 8,000 in fact, making it an absolute steal and a fantastic addition to someone who wants a definitive future classic that can be driven and enjoyed from today onwards.

Coronet is one of those names from Dodge that the current generation won’t know about, but the previous one definitely will. This nameplate floated around Dodge’s hierarchy for a few decades, moving between the automaker’s full size and mid size offerings.

Now, we’ve got a nice fifth-generation 1967 Dodge Coronet for sale, from the period when the Coronet was a midsize car.

Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
