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.

Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.
The car that started it all, and gave Americans a taste of the fine Grand Touring style of motoring that Europeans had perfected. Ford’s T-Bird was billed as a Personal Luxury Car when it debuted in 1955, offering two seats, a brawny V8 under the hood, effortless long-distance cruiser capabilities, and the best luxuries in the cabin. Ten generations were made, with an eleventh homage-styled generation following them a few years later. Finding a T-Bird isn’t that hard, but you’d likely want a good one. Why not choose this 1962 Ford Thunderbird as your T-Bird of choice? Packing some useful upgrades, this car has done a little over 51,000 miles so far. So, it’s got plenty of life remaining, and will be glad to live it in your hands. Also, it’s a numbers-matching vehicle, a factor that ensures it will not only retain, but appreciate in value.
The eleventh generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was a retro-modern homage to the one that started the whole Personal Luxury Car craze in the United States. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.
The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake, unofficially called the GT500 Super Snake, is a Ford Mustang GT on steroids. Built on the Mustang’s then-new S550 chassis, the new model actually lost some power compared to its predecessor. However it more than made up for it with increased agility and handling. As many car enthusiasts have mentioned, this has been one of the most well-balanced Mustang Shelbys to ever hit the road. The increase of power is mainly achieved with a supercharger, but also thanks to a custom Borla exhaust. Not all the work was done under the hood — as expected the Super Snake received signature Shelby restyling that made it stand apart from a standard Mustang. With a mere 6,560 miles clocked on the odometer, this serialized car from Shelby American - 1SSS0017 is for sale in Richmond, Texas.
The car that started off the whole Pony Car craze, and the only one existing to this day, the Ford Mustang is a light that shines bright in American automotive history. While it entered the seventh generation in 2024, every single generation of Mustang has had something special going for it. Add to it that many Mustangs saw magic at the hands of Carroll Shelby, you can understand why the 'Stang is a national treasure and why so many people lust after one. If you’re one of those people, and want a truly special Mustang, check out this rare 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Convertible. This all-stock car is available with a mere 9,522 miles on the odometer, and a truly awe-inspiring powertrain.

Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968. Here was a car that traded the C2’s dainty looks for something truly muscular and futuristic. No surprise, then, that a C3 Corvette is on many a petrolhead’s list of ultimate must-haves.

With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
