Introducing the captivating 1962 Ford Thunderbird, a prized addition to our collection at Exotic Car Trader. This exquisite classic exemplifies the charm of an era long past, harking back to the automotive landscape of the early 1950s. Skipping ahead to the third generation of Thunderbirds, known as the 1961–1963 series, we find ourselves in the presence of the remarkable "Bullet Bird." This nickname stems from the sleek, fuselage-like design that exudes both elegance and power. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird has undergone a masterful restoration that rejuvenated this vintage icon, breathing new life into it. The full restoration process was completed in June 2002, as recounted by the current owner, ensuring that this classic gem stands as a testament to its original glory.
The restoration of this 1962 Ford Thunderbird goes beyond a simple nostalgic journey; it's a skillful blend of contemporary comfort and vintage glamour, meticulously crafted to awaken the senses of those fortunate enough to admire it. Draped in a calming Blue Metal Flake exterior paint, this Bullet Bird proudly showcases a Glory Tube grille at its front, drawing attention as a central masterpiece. Its lighting choices feature H-4 halogen tri-bar headlights and 1959 Cadillac taillight bullets, paying homage to an era characterized by bold design decisions. The car's door handles and locks have been thoughtfully shaved, replaced by the convenience of AutoLoc remote locks. The distinctive stance is achieved through a lowered front and rear suspension, while the 17" polished aluminum American Torque Thrust II wheels, clad in new Michelin tires, ensure a firm grip on the road. Inside the cabin, a meticulously restored two-tone vinyl interior offers comfortable seating for four adults, echoing the design found in the trunk area. The dashboard, framed in blue, proudly features three prominent gauges in front of the three-spoke steering wheel. A modern touch comes in the form of a JBL custom stereo system, complete with a 5-channel amplifier and a concealed 15" subwoofer, enhancing the vintage ambiance with contemporary acoustics.
Beneath the hood of the meticulously restored 1962 Ford Thunderbird lies a 390ci V8 engine, the engine bay has been meticulously repainted to achieve a flawless finish. This 390ci engine is equipped with a tri-power intake, housing three Holley 2-barrel carburetors to ensure optimal fuel delivery. To enhance its power output, a competitive camshaft and Summit race pistons have been incorporated. The current owner proudly confirms the presence of a rebuilt C6 transmission, poised to transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels with confidence.
Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.
The car that started it all, and gave Americans a taste of the fine Grand Touring style of motoring that Europeans had perfected. Ford’s T-Bird was billed as a Personal Luxury Car when it debuted in 1955, offering two seats, a brawny V8 under the hood, effortless long-distance cruiser capabilities, and the best luxuries in the cabin. Ten generations were made, with an eleventh homage-styled generation following them a few years later. Finding a T-Bird isn’t that hard, but you’d likely want a good one. Why not choose this 1962 Ford Thunderbird as your T-Bird of choice? Packing some useful upgrades, this car has done a little over 51,000 miles so far. So, it’s got plenty of life remaining, and will be glad to live it in your hands. Also, it’s a numbers-matching vehicle, a factor that ensures it will not only retain, but appreciate in value.
The eleventh generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was a retro-modern homage to the one that started the whole Personal Luxury Car craze in the United States. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.
The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake, unofficially called the GT500 Super Snake, is a Ford Mustang GT on steroids. Built on the Mustang’s then-new S550 chassis, the new model actually lost some power compared to its predecessor. However it more than made up for it with increased agility and handling. As many car enthusiasts have mentioned, this has been one of the most well-balanced Mustang Shelbys to ever hit the road. The increase of power is mainly achieved with a supercharger, but also thanks to a custom Borla exhaust. Not all the work was done under the hood — as expected the Super Snake received signature Shelby restyling that made it stand apart from a standard Mustang. With a mere 6,560 miles clocked on the odometer, this serialized car from Shelby American - 1SSS0017 is for sale in Richmond, Texas.

If you’re one of those people, and want a truly special Mustang, check out this rare 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Convertible.

With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
