What’s this, the Ford Thunderbolt? Well, it’s a limited-production special of the Ford Fairlane 500 produced in 1964 exclusively for drag racing. Reportedly, only 100 cars were officially made, in manual and automatic transmission variants. One of them secured the 1964 NHRA Super Stock Championship for the Blue Oval. As you’d imagine, a proper Thunderbolt would be expensive, if you can find one at all. Thankfully, we’ve got the next best thing, a 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone from New Ulm, Minnesota. This lovely tribute comes with the requisite 427 under the hood, and under 84,000 miles on the clock.
Dressed in white, this 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone is definitely not your average Fairlane 500. For starters, you’ll note the absence of the inner headlamps, designed to aid cooling of that massive engine. Then, the sizable air dam atop the hood comes into view. As the car’s side profile emerges, you’ll see its special Thunderbolt decals, as well as the drag-spec tires wrapped around silver alloy wheels. Yes, this car has purpose, and its purpose is to leap off the line as fast as possible. That’s why the interior of this 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone is also heavily modified with a focus on racing. The rear seats have been ripped out to make space for the substantial roll cage that is necessary when competing in the quarter-mile shootout that this car is designed for. However, the dashboard and door cards remain largely stock to the Fairlane 500, which contributed to its being made into this tribute. The gear shifter, however, has been replaced with a drag special unit. Popping the trunk reveals a very cleanly painted space with the battery relocated here for better weight distribution as well as for safety reasons.
The monster 427ci V8 that powers this 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone is ever ready to catapult it (and you) off the line with tenacious ferocity. It’s a side oiler, we’re told, and hooked up to a drag spec automatic gearbox. With rear-wheel drive, you’d better have your wits about you, as until those tires hook up, the only thing keeping you from sliding around is your brains and throttle pedal control.

Seven generations were made between 1955 and 1970, and here’s where another iconic Ford nameplate was born – Crown Victoria. That’s what we have here, a 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria from the first generation of the Fairlane series and with just 1,320 miles on the.

The Ford Fairlane is a legendary name in the Blue Oval’s history, and fittingly, it takes its name from Henry Ford’s famed estate in Dearborn, Michigan. Introduced in 1955, the Fairlane spawned a variety of trims and offshoots—including the Crown Victoria and the 500—that helped define the mid-century American driving experience. While the Fairlane name was also used in overseas models, nothing beats the charm of an original American-built Sunliner like this one. Presented here is a beautifully restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner, located in Holtsville, New York, with just over 7,000 miles since its restoration. Among its standout features are a Continental Kit, Searchlight Mirrors, and a glove box signed by Gale Halderman—the man who not only worked on redesigning the ’57 Fairlane but also went on to pen the first-generation Mustang.

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.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
