Ford introduced the Thunderbird in 1955, aiming to give Americans a slice of that Grand Touring thing that well-heeled Europeans were enjoying. Billed as a Personal Luxury Car, the Thunderbird was a segment-starter. Here was a luxurious, two-seat machine with a capacious trunk and a powerful V8 under the hood. Offering ample grunt, the T-Bird as it became known, was a machine for crossing States in a day, traveling for hours on end, and only stopping for refreshment or relief. Ten generations were made until 1997, with an eleventh produced between 2002 and 2005. This 1962 Ford Thunderbird is a great third-generation example, and it’s had some rejuvenation carried out over the past few years. Hence, it’s a fantastic classic for you to start a collection with.
This magnificent 1962 Ford Thunderbird flaunts its curves and lines in a shade called Chestnut Metallic. This lustrous two-door hardtop features chrome bumpers and plenty of chrome detailing. Meanwhile, it’s got a new windshield, which was installed in 2017. The car rolls on a set of classy whitewall tires, doing full justice to its quintessential Sixties design. The interior of this 1962 Ford Thunderbird offers seating for four adults. That’s because Ford quickly realized that by adding a rear seat, they could increase their potential audience for this luxury car. So, you’ve got plush leather-upholstered seating in a pleasing shade of beige. The dashboard is a new item, replaced in 2017. Then, there’s a reupholstered headliner, and newer carpet. The car also comes with a heater and defroster, power windows, and a push-button radio. And that’s before we get into the Art Deco-inspired dashboard design, with podded gauges, and plenty of chrome of course.
This 1962 Ford Thunderbird moves with panache, thanks to its 390ci V8 which was replaced in 1977. Moreover, the car’s 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission was rebuilt in 2021. As you’d expect, power goes to the rear wheels. The car also benefits from a new exhaust that was installed in 2024, as well as new brakes which are a 2022 job. We’re also informed that the car has electronic ignition on board.

The famous Ford T-Bird is a legend in classic American car circles. It was Ford’s groundbreaker at the time, and introduced a new category called Personal Luxury Cars. These were swish and speedy two-seaters with comfortable and luxurious interiors, potent V8 engines under the hood, and the ability to travel for hundreds of miles at a time with minimal disturbance or discomfort to their well-heeled occupants. They also came with decent cargo space, aimed at being driven from five-star hotel to five-star hotel, or from mansion to posh office and back home. However, by the second generation, Ford added a rear seat to broaden the car’s target market. Ten generations of T-Bird were made between 1955 and 1997, but in 2002, Ford revived the nameplate for a final hurrah. The eleventh generation was a homage to the very first, and returned to its two-seat roots. Today’s 2002 Ford Thunderbird hails from that retro-modern era, and is available in Pennsylvania having covered just 19,506 miles so far. The car is reportedly all original, right down to including the black removable hard top in addition to its black powered soft top.
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.
One of Ford’s most fondly remembered marques, the Thunderbird created what was called the Personal Luxury Car category when it launched for the 1955 model year. Ford was paying attention to the European segment of Grand Tourers, and wanted to give Americans a slice of that stylish and luxurious long-distance motoring experience. After all, America’s highways were being built and upgraded, and soon, the well-heeled would love to drive their own luxury car across the country, from posh hotel to posh hotel. So, the first-generation Thunderbird had a lot to live up to, and live up, it did. Coming in two-door, two-seat form, it of course had a V8 up front and the most luxury features that were prevalent at the time. Today’s 1956 Ford Thunderbird has been fully restored and boasts under 9,000 miles to its name. Furthermore, this Delaware-based car comes with the Continental Kit as well.

Between a road car and a race car is a Roush car. That is how Jack Roush, co-founder of Roush Racing, likes to describe their creations. And we wholeheartedly agree. For those who crave tremendous horsepower figures but still want a ride with good road manners, Roush created the perfect blend. If you know your Mustangs, you might’ve heard of a highly sought-after package dubbed the California Special. First introduced in 1968, these limited-edition Mustangs possess both the qualities of a Shelby GT and a Mustang coupe. This desirable special edition, coupled with a tasty Roush upgrade, is not something you’ll come across every day. That is why you shouldn’t miss your opportunity with this example of the 2017 Ford Mustang GT California Special boasting a Roush Supercharged upgrade. With 37,898 miles on its clock, it awaits in West Springfield, Virginia, for its lucky buyer.
Muscle cars are an American point of pride and the ones which carry the torch forward are the ones who made it popular from the get go.

With a reported under 20,000 miles on its clock, this modern muscular machine features a host of upgrades which include a custom drag package.
There comes a time when a car takes things up a notch and has cult following status the moment it leaves its factory floors. BMW’s range of M3’s are most definitely that type, with most models redefining what the perfect drive experience is like. Present today is what is arguably one of the M3’s finest and takes shape with this 1995 BMW M3 Coupe. With a reported 53,000 miles on its clock, this German powerhouse is a true rare example that keeps on giving on every drive out and also serves as a very savvy investment in the years to come.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
The MG MGB is one of a series of fine open-topped British roadsters produced by the iconic automaker Morris Garages.

However, the popular saying goes, there’s nothing like the original. So why not capture that spirit yourself and buy this Florida-based 1979 MG MGB Roadster from us?
