The Ford Thunderbird was America's take on Europe's famous Grand Tourers. Debuting for the 1955 model year, Ford billed the T-bird as a Personal Luxury Car. This meant a two-seater with a large engine, effortless cruising capabilities, ample cargo space, and a luxurious passenger cabin. As time passed by, the Thunderbird did indeed gain a rear seat to appeal to a wider audience. Ten generations were made, and an eleventh made an appearance between 2002 and 2005 as a homage to the original. This particular 1966 Ford Thunderbird is a lovely fourth-generation example that's up for sale with a mere 82,669 miles on the clock. Furthermore, it's reported to still contain the original engine and has received some refreshment work as well.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird comes to you in burgundy, with a black vinyl-wrapped hardtop, as was in vogue during the Sixties and Seventies. Long, low, and sporting quad headlamps, this was American luxury motoring at its finest. The car is said to come with four new tires on its wheels, as well as new original-style hubcaps to keep it looking sharp. It also has a new door and trunk locks to keep the car safe from opportunistic thieves. After all, it's quite a desirable classic car. The interior of this 1966 Ford Thunderbird is also burgundy and provides four comfortably-padded, leather-upholstered seats. The car has a new ignition switch, a new vacuum system for the power door locks, and a new compressor plus a toggle switch for its air conditioning system. The original AM radio is present and reportedly functional, too. Meanwhile, the door panels are said to be new. The dashboard is very much original, as evidenced by the patina on its instrument cluster and center console. Meanwhile, the trunk hosts the spare wheel and could use some freshening up, but it is otherwise in good condition.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird packs a powerful 390ci Ford V8 with 300hp from the factory. It drives the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic gearbox, for a chilled out experience. This isn't a tire fryer, after all. We're told that the gearbox is the original unit, which gels well with the reportedly original engine.

With a name like Thunderbird, you’d expect the automobile in question to be quite spectacular, and Ford didn’t disappoint. Conceived in the ʼ50s and debuting for the 1955 model year, the Thunderbird was modeled on the Grand Tourer segment of Europe, and called the Personal Luxury Car in the USA. In fact, one could argue that Ford created this segment with the introduction of the two-seat, plushly-appointed, V8-powered Thunderbird. While the first generation sold in healthy numbers, Ford executives knew that the car had more potential. So, when the second generation came in 1968, it sported a rear seat. This was to make the Thunderbird appealing to well-heeled families, performing a role as their primary family hauler while retaining its sporty and luxurious long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1964 Ford Thunderbird comes from the fourth generation of this iconic American nameplate, and has just over 200,000 miles showing. The car has undergone some work, and all receipts are said to be available.
There comes a time when the automotive world stands still as manufacturers churn out a car that takes the world by storm and changes the automotive landscape forever. Turn back the clock to the ’50s and Ford did just that with the release of the legendary Ford Thunderbird. From its iconic design to its performance, the Ford Thunderbird was a looker and a performance machine that helped the ’50s American automotive marketplace turn it up a notch. Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,293 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.
The Ford Thunderbird is a personal luxury car made by Ford across ten generations between 1955 and 1997. A retro-modern homage briefly made an appearance between 2002 and 2005. The Thunderbird was created for Ford to offer a car that enabled comfortable, luxurious and smooth long-distance touring for two adults and their luggage. Soon enough, though, Ford realized that adding a rear seat would broaden the appeal of the T-Bird. If you’d been intrigued as to what a T-Bird is like to own and drive, check out this classic third-generation 1963 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now. Coming from Washington, this car has journeyed for 81,839 miles so far.
Widely considered as one of the first proper American Sport Utility Vehicles, the Ford Bronco came in 1966, and ran for five generations until 1996. Ford then decided to withdraw the nameplate, amidst some grumbling from the public. However, they had a change of heart two and a half decades later, and a sixth generation Bronco debuted in 2021, to much cheering and applause. The all-new sixth generation Bronco retains many signature features of the original, including removable doors and roof. Plus, it’s got some decent performance. But for those who crave more than decent, we’ve got a custom build by Hennessey Performance right here. This 2024 Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 is just one of 200 built with the Freedom Series Package, includes a serial numbered engine plaque, and has 500 horses on tap. With a mere 7,023 miles on its odometer, this fantastic family SUV awaits a new owner in Orlando, Florida. Contact us ASAP if you’d like to buy it.
Ford’s Model T was such a runaway hit that they had to really knock it out of the park with a successor. Cue up 1927’s Ford Model A, of which over 4.8 million were sold by 1932. The Model A brought about many improvements, including a 3-speed gearbox, a top speed of over 65mph which was positively dizzying in those days, and the traditional layout of clutch, brake, accelerator pedals from left to right. Very few will know that a Model T also had three pedals but with totally different arrangements. Finding a Model A in pristine order is still tough, but we’ve got an appealing 1929 Ford Model A Roadster for sale today. Coming from Natick, Massachusetts, this car boasts 90,000 miles and looks in great condition for something that’s just four years shy of its Centurion birthday.
Ford’s F-Series extends beyond full-size pickup trucks, and into some seriously potent commercial machines. Cue up the Super Duty, which is now in the fifth generation. Today, we’ve got a specially decked-out fourth-generation 2022 Ford F-550 Lariat that’s outfitted for a specific purpose. Perhaps you can glean what that purpose is from our pictures, otherwise we’ll tell you in the following sections. This 60,100-mile truck currently resides in Key West, Florida, and is looking for a new owner.
The Mercedes-Benz R107-generation SL is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and popular models that the Three-Pointed Star has ever made. Produced for 18 years, this era of SL is the second-longest generation Mercedes has ever made, second only to the equally iconic G-Wagen. And it’s not hard to see why: timeless looks coupled with incredible performance and luxury cemented it as one of the best roadsters money could buy. Our featured car is a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, featuring a large-displacement V8 under the hood. This car is located in Frisco, Texas, and has a reported over 141,000 miles on the clock.
The Catalina nameplate in Pontiac nomenclature initially represented a top-level trim for the existing Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight models. However, as we’ve seen many times before with American manufacturers, trim levels have been spun off as separate models. For the Catalina, this happened in 1959, offered as a two-door coupe, convertible, four-door sedan and station wagon. Today, the Catalina may not be at the top of every classic car collector’s list because not everyone remembers it, but it’s definitely an appealing choice for someone who wants to diverge from the crowd. This particular 1964 Pontiac Catalina is a four-door sedan hailing from Ballston Spa, New York, and comes with the original spare tire plus original bill of sale and even the original manual. Having traveled 77,421 miles so far, it’s ready for a new owner who will look after it and cherish it as it deserves. If that’s you, get in touch with us ASAP.
When people say “Classic Corvette”, the image of the second generation immediately springs to mind. Made between 1963 and 1967, this was the generation where the famed Stingray badge came to be, plus pop-up headlamps, the boat-tail rear, the twin-cowled dashboard, and many other signature Corvette features. Today, we’ve got a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from Hudson, Florida for your consideration. This car has got some new parts on it, making it a fine driving classic and a car that can be used on a regular basis too. Because let’s face it, why would you buy a classic Corvette if you don’t want to take it out on the roads?
