The first generation Ford Mustang was a hit when it was introduced in 1964, and much has been written about the car’s enduring success. However, while the first iterations are often remembered fondly, the original design went through a few changes to keep up with the times. Over the years, the Mustang grew in size while still retaining the basic floor plan. By 1971, the largest 'Stang yet was introduced, with around three inches added. These latter-production gen-one Mustangs can be identified by their prominent grilles, long hoods, and distinctive lines.
It isn’t often that a car of this era is found with such low mileage, but the exterior and interior of this 1972 Ford Mustang Convertible are kept in timewarp-like condition. You’ll find the black paintwork, which still sports a deep and glossy shine in pictures. The rear end features a period Dealer badge, as well as “Mustang” badges on the trunk lid. While the majority of the car remains authentic, one sensible replacement has been the tires. The 14-inch rimes are shod in brand new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, with period raised white lettering on the sidewalls. Move inside, and you’re presented with an all-original interior featuring a two-spoke steering wheel, 120-mph speedometer, and Cartier-branded console clock in the center. The rest of the interior features cream-colored seats and door cards, in pristine condition.
Under the hood of this 1972 Ford Mustang Convertible lies a 351ci / 5.8-liter Windsor V8 engine. Power from this engine is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The suspension setup features independent front suspension with coil springs and upper and lower control arms. The rear sees leaf springs and a solid axle. The brakes are reported as having discs up front and drums for the rear.

First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
At the 2003 North American Auto Show, Ford debuted a concept car that previewed what the next Mustang could be. The current at the time fourth generation was becoming a little long in the tooth and soft in the flesh, despite Ford trying to spice it up with variants such as the Cobra R. Then, two years later, the fifth generation dropped and…people lost their minds! Here was a Mustang that had fantastic retro-modern looks, a properly fierce face, and the powertrain mix to back it up. Sales skyrocketed, with over 160,000 being sold in the United States alone, for 2005! Sales did temper a little after the initial rush, but during its nine-year run, they never went below 70,000 units per year! Taking example of this 2008 Ford Mustang GT that’s available in Douglasville, Georgia, it’s not hard to see why. This particular car is a drop-top and comes with the potent all-new at the time, all-aluminum Modular V8 at the time. One key is included with the sale of this 106,654-mile car.
Ford’s association with Shelby and resultant Shelby Mustangs was resurrected in 2008, after a long hiatus. You see, Carroll Shelby saw the potential of the first generation Mustang way back in the Sixties and created a special line-up of Shelby Mustangs that were widely regarded as fine performance machines. After that, consecutive generations didn’t receive Shelby treatment until the fifth generation. We don’t know why the Mustang II, Fox Body or SN195 didn’t get the Shelby pampering, but that’s all in the past. Now, we have a machine that has indeed come from the stables of Shelby, a 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake. This potent pony is up for grabs in St. Simons Island, Georgia, and reportedly packs 800 horsepower! It’s done only 12,000 miles and is said to be #33 of 200, with Shelby documentation included with the sale.

The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
Ford’s Focus isn’t that popular in America. It’s more of a European hero in the compact car class, where roads are smaller, town centers are tighter and compact cars rule the roost. Here, the Focus would be considered almost too small for our larger-than-life tastes. But hang on, what about the hot variant of the Focus? Specifically, the RS? Now we’re talking, because this is a spicy turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and 350 horses to be delivered. In fact, the engine of the third generation Focus RS, which is where this 2016 Ford Focus RS for sale hails from, is directly derived from the EcoBoost unit in the sixth-generation Mustang! So if you’re interested, this 86,000-mile car is up for sale in Riverside, California. It’s a four-door, too, so family practicality is another of its strong selling points, in case you need to convince your significant other as to why this car should be in your garage or driveway.
The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car. Engineered with exceptional structural rigidity and advanced safety systems for its time, it delivered a refined open-top driving experience that emphasized comfort, stability, and long-distance usability. With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.
Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.
