Europe was enjoying its Grand Tourers, and America wanted in on the action. Hence, Ford decided to take the plunge, with the Thunderbird in 1954. Called the Personal Luxury Car, the Thunderbird would continue for ten generations, with a retro-modern eleventh being produced as well. Today’s 1966 Ford Thunderbird Coupe hails from the fourth generation, and is an excellent piece of history to own and cherish. Moreover, it can be driven with gusto, as the current owner tells us that it’s faced a full restoration, including engine and transmission rebuilds with barely 10,000 miles since then. Let’s take a deep dive into this car’s extensive cosmetic and mechanical surgery, and find out why it’s a turnkey classic waiting to be taken on a long drive – just like it will have been in its heyday.
The new Zarcon Blue paintjob worn by this 1966 Ford Thunderbird Coupe is as fresh as you can expect, as it was done just last year as per the current owner. Hence, the car’s iconic looks are beautifully showcased, and complemented by its new halogen headlamps, new LED taillamps, and new dual-tip exhaust system. Furthermore, you can rest assured in the knowledge that the car has also been undercoated and insulated for maximum longevity. The tires are new as well, giving you the confidence to drive this machine at freeway speeds. Like the exterior, the interior has received ample attention. The upholstery in black is reportedly new, as are the dash clusters and the carpeting. A new CD player has been added, while the original radio has been retained for the period correct look. Additional aftermarket gauges are present, as are new speakers for higher fidelity sound. Even the trunk looks fresh, waiting to accept your road trip cargo.
The 390ci V8 and the 3-speed Ford C6 automatic transmission that motivate this 1966 Ford Thunderbird Coupe to move have been rebuilt, we’re informed. Furthermore, the car has got a new driveshaft, engine serpentine belt kit, radiator, electronic ignition, spark plugs, wiring unit, and a new muffler. Elsewhere, there are new brakes, rotors and pads, new upper and lower ball joints, and new shock absorbers at the front and rear. Hence, you can consider this car to be near-factory fresh in terms of mechanicals, and good to go for that trip you’ve been planning to take.

The Ford Thunderbird is the first American grand tourer, debuting for the 1955 model year. Billed as a Personal Luxury Car, the Thunderbird was meant to be a swift and luxurious conveyance for up to two adults, able to eat up long distances with grace and effortlessness. As time passed by, the Thunderbird gained a rear seat as well, and ran for ten generations. However, Ford created an eleventh generation between 2002 and 2005, as a homage to the original. Just over 50,000 examples were made, showcasing a healthy interest in the model. Today, cars like this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Pacific Coast Roadster are definitely head-turners and future classics. So, if you want to experience the retro-modern Thunderbird, this all-stock, 13,650-mile example is truly a rare find.
The Ford Thunderbird is what happened when America decided that they wanted some of that European Grand Tourer goodness. Led by Ford, American automakers created the Personal Luxury Car segment. These two-door coupes and convertibles came with potent engines, effortless cruising abilities, and the best luxury features of the time. They were designed for the well-heeled to buy and drive for long distances, emerging from their journey with minimal fatigue. This fourth-generation 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is a prime example of what the segment could offer. Standing proud in our inventory, this car received a complete restoration around 15 years ago, we’re told by the current owner, who has owned this beauty for approximately two years. So, will you be its next custodian?
The maiden Ford Thunderbird was introduced as a competitor to the Chevy Corvette in 1955. However, it wasn’t marketed as a sports car but as an upscale, sporty, luxury car. It then continued to evolve into a larger car over ten generations until it was discontinued in 1997. However, after a five-year hiatus, the Thunderbird returned for one last time. This eleventh-generation Thunderbird went right back to its roots and was conceived as a two-door, two-seater, retro-themed convertible. Powered by a creamy smooth V8 motor, this last-gen Ford Thunderbird was produced only until 2005, thus marking the end of an iconic nameplate. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe Soft Top Convertible we have here is a pristine example with 29,000 reported miles on the odometer. It is a fully stock, original-owner car with two keys, a new battery, and new tires.
The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
The Ford Model T is the one for the history books. This was Henry Ford’s crowning glory, after all. It popularized the use of mass manufacturing techniques in automotive assembly, paving the way for today’s mega-factories over a century later. Over 14 million were made between 1908 and 1927, offering mobility and freedom to countless Americans. Of course, the Model T has also proved itself to be an interesting restomod platform. Up for sale is something a bit more outlandish than your typical Model T restomod. Say hello to the 1923 Ford T-Bucket. This custom special has around 7,100 miles on the clock and waits for a new owner to take it under their wing.

The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car. Some choose a full-on custom build to stand out, while others prefer the old-fashioned way. Present today is the latter, which takes the form of this lovely 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.
