The Thunderbird was one luxurious car, it was even sold to customers as a personal luxury car which essentially meant that the Thunderbird marque focused more on luxury than performance. Amongst all the great cars that sported the Thunderbird name, the third generation is what really stood out. It was the official Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 as well as featured prominently in President John F Kennedy's inaugural parade. Owning one surely sets you apart wherever you go so why not check out this 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe when you have the chance. Located in California and with a reported 96,251 miles on the clock this vintage beauty is a love letter to Sixties design and one that would look great in your driveway.
Exterior and Interior
The third generation thunderbird is one car for the history books in terms of automotive design. It looked like it was out of a Sci-fi movie and sported a unique bullet-styled design on the car. This 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe sports a maroon exterior and perfectly matches that unique Landau coupe body style which features a black vinyl roof on this car. What’s more iconic than the exterior color is the original 48 spoke Kelsey-Hayes designed wire wheels in place giving the car a real luxurious look on the road. The tires are also reportedly new and installed when the current owner purchased the car and has less than 100 miles on them. With its futuristic design cues, it’s hard to think anything could top it. That is until you've stepped inside this car, the interior is finished off in black and features wood accents all around the car. The wood and nickel on the car are in perfect shape looking shiny and new. The original swing-away steering wheel is also in place which was an industry first when released with the third generation. To ensure good times are no stranger in this car you get an aftermarket stereo system which was specifically made for a 1963 Ford Thunderbird. All you need to do is install it and cruise on by with some vintage tunes.
Engine
The third generation Thunderbird was in a class of its own with its unique design. To match those design cues the folks over at Ford sure needed an engine that could provide decent performance as well as be refined and provide a luxury feel. Providing all that in this 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe is a 6.4 L (390ci) engine. The engine has seen a recent tune-up in July 2021 with new spark plugs being replaced around the same time as well. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox. The current owner states that the engine and transmission are period correct but not sure whether they are original to the car. To provide a pleasant driving experience the car comes with power steering and power windows with all 4 windows reportedly functioning as well. To better experience and hear that old school V8 in action you get a new exhaust system installed which was reportedly replaced when the current owner purchased the car.
Ford revived the Thunderbird nameplate for the 2002 model year as a nostalgic tribute to the original 1955 Thunderbird, blending retro-inspired styling with modern luxury and comfort. Riding on Ford’s DEW platform shared with the Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type, the eleventh-generation Thunderbird delivered smooth V8 performance paired with effortless cruising manners. This particular 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe shows just 11,246 miles and is finished in the iconic Torch Red exterior over a striking Midnight Black and Torch Red interior combination. Equipped with the desirable removable porthole hardtop and factory accent interior package, this low-mileage retro roadster captures the essence of early-2000s American luxury motoring while paying homage to one of Ford’s most legendary nameplates.
Ford’s fourth-generation Thunderbird represented the brand’s move toward upscale personal luxury motoring, combining sleek styling, smooth V8 power, and premium comfort into one sophisticated package. By 1964, the Thunderbird had fully embraced its role as an elegant grand touring convertible, offering buyers a refined alternative to more performance-focused American cars of the era. This 1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible shows approximately 51,901 miles and is finished in eye-catching Rangoon Red over a black vinyl interior. Equipped with a desirable 390ci V8, power-operated convertible top, and signature Thunderbird luxury touches, this example embodies the relaxed cruising character and unmistakable styling that continue to make these cars icons of 1960s American motoring.
The first-generation Ford Thunderbird was introduced in 1955 as Ford’s answer to the emerging personal luxury sports car segment, created in direct response to the Chevrolet Corvette but with a stronger emphasis on comfort, style, and everyday drivability rather than outright sports car minimalism. This 1955 Ford Thunderbird shows approximately 2,948 miles, making it an especially intriguing example for collectors seeking an iconic American convertible from the dawn of the personal luxury era. With its signature porthole hardtop styling, elegant two-seat layout, and V8-powered cruising capability, the original Thunderbird remains one of the most recognizable American cars of the 1950s. This example combines the desirable Y-Block V8, automatic transmission, and dual-top configuration, making it an especially appealing turnkey classic.
Built to conquer desert terrain while turning heads everywhere it goes, this 1974 Ford Bronco is far more than a customized classic—it’s a one-of-a-kind build known as the “Desert Drifter.” Featured in the April 2004 issue of Bronco Driver Magazine (#8), this Bronco was comprehensively built by Rocky Roads and has remained with its current owner since 2004. Showing just 33,857 miles, it blends classic Early Bronco styling with serious off-road engineering, highlighted by a 392ci stroker Windsor V8 producing over 450 horsepower, a purpose-built long-travel suspension system, and numerous Rocky Roads upgrades. Finished in iconic British Racing Green, this Desert Drifter represents an exceptional opportunity to own a magazine-featured Bronco that was built to perform as impressively as it looks.
The Ford Bronco was in its final generation by 1995, representing the last chapter of the full-size Bronco before the model was discontinued after the 1996 model year. This 1995 Ford Bronco XLT shows approximately 200,406 miles and presents as a well-equipped example of Ford’s iconic two-door SUV. Powered by the dependable 351ci Windsor V8, it combines classic truck-based durability with the practicality and off-road capability that made Broncos a favorite among enthusiasts. Finished in Electric Currant Red Metallic over a Ruby Red interior, this Bronco also benefits from modern upgrades including LED lighting and an aftermarket multimedia system with a back-up camera, making it more enjoyable for contemporary driving.
The Ford Bronco returned to the market in 2021 and quickly became one of the most sought-after off-road SUVs in America, blending retro-inspired styling with modern technology and serious trail capability. This 2024 Ford Bronco Wildtrak 4x4 takes that formula even further, featuring the desirable High/Lux Package and a host of aftermarket upgrades designed to enhance both its appearance and off-road performance. Showing just 11,168 miles, this Bronco stands out with a custom exterior finish, a ReadyLIFT 3.5-inch suspension lift, and American Racing wheels that give it a commanding presence on and off the pavement.
