Ford’s Thunderbird is an icon of the Blue Oval, renowned for bringing Americans their very own take on Europe’s famed Grand Tourer class of cars. Introduced in 1955, the fondly-called T-Bird ran for ten generations until 1997. A retro-modern eleventh was also made between 2002 and 2005. While classic T-Birds from the earlier years are highly sought after, why not diverge from the herd and check out a later example? Take this ninth generation 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe as an example. It’s a quintessential eighties car, but it’s still a personal luxury car.
This 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe wears distinctive Mach 1 Special Edition red paint, and is endowed with a set of 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels for that quintessential eighties stance. The current owner reports that the car’s got a set of new tires too. Then, there’s a Mach 1 window tag and a hood scoop for some added flair. Further features of note include the fog lamps within the front bumper, and the rear spoiler sitting atop the rear deck lid. The gray interior of this 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is another time capsule waiting to be cherished. You’ve got front bucket seats and a rear bench, offering accommodation for up to four adults. The driver’s seat features power lumbar adjustment. Then, there’s power windows, power mirrors and air conditioning. A gaze at the two-spoke steering wheel reveals the presence of cruise control too. You can also fire up the Ford radio cassette player in the center console for some driving music as you cruise along in this T-Bird. Meanwhile, you can pack the trunk with plenty of luggage for a cross-country trip should the mood be just right.
The powerplant that motivates this 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is a 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder unit, driving the rear wheels through a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual gearbox, and a Ford 8.8 rear end with a 3.55 gear ratio and a limited slip differential. The engine enjoys electronic fuel injection, while there are 4-wheel power disc brakes to keep you in check. Factory figures place the engine’s output at 190hp for the manual transmission-equipped cars, such as this one.

The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
Ford’s segment creator, the Thunderbird brought us the Personal Luxury Car in 1955. Ten generations of T-Bird were made until 1997, and an eleventh was sold from 2002 to 2005. Even today, the Thunderbird evokes strong recognition and remains a desirable classic car for many, especially those whose parents or grandparents owned a T-Bird back then. If you’re one of those people, we have this second-generation 1959 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe for sale in our inventory. Coming from Woodbine, Georgia, this 98,461-mile car packs a 352 under the hood, a two-tone interior and an automatic gearbox too. Call us if you’d like to own it.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
