The Ford Thunderbird, initially conceived as 'a personal car of distinction,' emerged as Ford Motor Company's answer to the Corvette, albeit with distinct differences. While both boasted potent V8 engines and two-seater layouts, the Thunderbird catered more to drivers who sought a blend of comfort and luxury alongside their performance. The 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Mach 1 Special Edition presented here stands as a testament to refined enthusiasm. Remarkably preserved with a mere 1,350 original miles, as attested by the current owner, this vehicle's matching numbers only add to its allure. This exceptionally well-preserved Thunderbird is now seeking a new home, destined for a discerning enthusiast's collection.
Draped in the distinctive Mach 1 Special Edition Red exterior paint, this Thunderbird makes a bold statement. Its classic '80s aesthetics exude a certain charm, characterized by iconic hood scoops, balanced design, and 16" aluminum wheels wrapped in reportedly new tires, accentuated by Mach 1 window tags. It possesses an understated elegance, ideal for enthusiasts who prefer to let their vehicle's performance do the talking, in stark contrast to the Corvette's more attention-seeking demeanor. Inside the cabin, you'll find a classic black interior, featuring snug front bucket seats ready for spirited driving or relaxed cruising. The interior is impeccably preserved, mirroring the exterior's pristine condition, and retains its distinctive '80s character, devoid of modern touchscreens. However, the thrill provided by the engine more than compensates for any contemporary infotainment.
Under the hood lies a potent turbocharged 2.3L inline-four engine mated to a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission with a 3.55 gear ratio, operated via a floor shifter. Equipped with electronic fuel injection, this engine channels its power to the rear wheels through a Ford 8.8" rear axle and limited-slip differential. The Thunderbird's balanced body and 4-wheel power disc brakes ensure precise control, making it an ideal vehicle for enthusiasts seeking an exhilarating driving experience.
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.

So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs.

Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen, was one of the most iconic movies of the Sixties. Who can forget that iconic scene where McQueen’s character burns plenty of rubber in a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback? The car was painted in a distinctive shade of green, and subsequently, there would be many Bullitt Mustang editions available to the public. So, when Ford turned to retro-modern design with the fifth generation of the Mustang, it was logical for a Bullitt Edition to follow. This particular 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt has just 22,990 miles on the clock and comes with two keys, plus all servicing up to date. Most importantly, it proudly bears Steve McQueen’s signature on the faux aluminum dash, and comes with a Frank Bullitt license plate too.
Named after Henry Ford’s sprawling estate in Dearborn, Michigan, the Fairlane was Ford’s full-size car between 1955 and 1970. The name would see some use in markets outside America as well, notably Australia, later on. The Fairlane represented the flagship Ford automobile that a buyer could purchase and came with all the expected trimmings and comforts. It was made in a wide array of body styles, including a convertible aptly called the Sunliner. If you’re searching for a first-generation Fairlane, we’ve got this 28,713-mile 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner available right now. It’s a great classic that will only appreciate in value as time goes by.
Ford’s Bronco is widely believed to be the one that started the whole Sport Utility segment. Introduced in 1966, Ford wanted a competitor to take on the formidable Toyota Land Cruiser, as well as Jeep’s best-selling CJ series. The result was the Bronco; designed and engineered by much of the same team that gave us the Mustang just a year and a bit earlier. Well, that team was definitely a dream team in the automotive world because the Bronco was another runaway sales success for Ford. Even today, first-generation Broncos are in high demand. Luckily, we’ve got one for sale right now, a restored, well-maintained, and tastefully modded 1970 Ford Bronco with just 33,500 miles under its belt.
