A first-generation Mustang is a fantastic way to get into collecting classic cars or dip your toes into the waters and see if the temperature is right. The first-generation Mustang sold by the bucketload and was one of the hottest cars in America during the sixties. As time passed by and newer generations came out, the first one never lost its appeal. In fact, it gained more and more appeal and is now firmly recognized as an iconic classic representing American automotive culture. That’s why we’re confident that this 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible will catch many eyes. The car comes to you with just 20,000 miles after an engine rebuild and reportedly sports stock parts. If it appeals to you, best act fast.
Wearing a timeless shade of blue, this 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is a sure-fire head-turner. It demonstrates the clean lines and flowing design that Gale Helderman penned under the direction of Joe Oros. Oros’ brief was brutal — a car that must appeal to women, as well as men. He wanted it to be sporty, European in design flair, with a Ferrari-inspired front end and the heavy look of a Maserati. The team pulled it off with panache, as this car is testament. Add to that, this particular example is a convertible, with a lustrous, electrically-operated white soft top that just begs to be lowered on fine days. Not that you’d need much convincing, as a drop-top first-generation Mustang is one of the finest pleasures of classic car motoring. It’s an exercise in nirvana. The nirvana will be most apparent from within the four-seat interior of this car, and it’s finished off in a glorious shade of white. As you lounge about the plush and comfortable seats, thin-rimmed steering wheel in hand, and steering this beauty along the roads, you’ll marvel at how little can make you feel so good. There are no digital distractions, save for a Bluetooth-capable radio so that you can listen to some modern tunes in a fuss-free fashion. Everything else is analog, from the gauges to the switches and controls for the car’s key functions.
Propelling this 1965 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is the venerable 289ci V8, paired with a three-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The motor features a Holley 500 carb as per the current owner.

You might be thinking “Boy, I’ve sure been seeing a lot of first-gen Ford Mustangs for sale lately”. Well, that’s due to no fault of the car; rather the fact that Ford sold them by the bucketload. Introduced in September 1964, 121,000 units were sold in the last three months of that year, with 22,000 orders taken on the first day itself! The next year, 1965, would see sales balloon to over 559,000 for that year alone. So, this 1965 Ford Mustang is one of over 559,000 that were made. This is great, because it means that getting your hands on a classic first-generation Mustang is relatively easy. After all, wouldn’t you think that it’s one of the best starter classics? This particular car has received a host of mechanical refreshments and upgrades, making it an absolute beauty to drive.
The Ford Mustang made history in 1965 when it was first introduced, which led to the birth of the fabled Pony car automobile segment. Fast forward to 2017, you could choose a Mustang out of 10 trim levels. Out of them, the GT Coupe Premium holds fourth place as the most expensive model available. It handles superbly but not at the cost of ride comfort. This handsome example of the 2017 Ford Mustang GT Coupe Premium shows just 20,000 miles on its clock. It currently awaits its new buyer in Florida.
The fifth-generation Ford Mustang reinvented itself as a design icon, blending retro cues with a decidedly modern drivetrain. While the 2010 Mustang was available in many potent flavors, one of the most sought after was undeniably the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake. When it was launched, it was the most powerful production Mustang ever made, with a reported 500 hp on tap. The GT500 Mustang was breathed upon by the engineers at Shelby, a company that has had a long association with fast Fords. It featured a supercharged V8 engine and many other performance upgrades. Our featured example takes this one step further with many upgrades, including improved suspension and brakes. Read on to find more!
The first-generation Ford Bronco cemented its legendary status the moment it debuted. Fast forward to today, its timeless, boxy design remains a hot commodity in the custom build scene, with modified examples commanding top dollar. One such standout is this stunning 1974 Ford Bronco Velocity Edition, meticulously crafted by the experts at Velocity Restorations, blending modern upgrades with its iconic heritage.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered.

With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.

Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
