Overview of 1996 Bentley Continental R For Sale by Owner

If you’ve always had an eye for older luxury cars with great driving dynamics, preferably from Britain, may we present this 1996 Bentley Continental R for your consideration? The Continental R was made between 1991 and 2003, and a mere 1,854 units were produced and sold worldwide. It’s probably one of the rarest cars, as there are plenty of Italian exotics with higher production numbers for example. This particular example is a 50,777-mile, numbers-matching example from Pennsylvania, and it’s a great way to experience what luxury was like before digital screens took over everything.

Exterior and Interior

The timeless design of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is highlighted by a smooth red paint job, and complemented by its aftermarket black alloy wheels. The front sports dual headlamps and an imposing chrome grille, with the Bentley Flying B logo directly above. Moving to the side, the sheer length of this car becomes apparent, even though it’s a two-door coupe. The rear, on the other hand, presents itself in a simplistic vibe, but of course, there’s another ‘Flying B’ here as well. The interior of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is where you want to be, and it’s a cream leather-upholstered affair with plenty of light wood accents. You’ve got features such as power adjustable front seats, a premium sound system, some red trim and red carpeting as well. There’s bi-level climate control as well, and front seat heaters for added comfort during cold weather. The only modern feature that we spot is an Alpine single-DIN head unit with Bluetooth, USB and AUX inputs. Everything else remains period and near-pristine. Even the spacious trunk is in great condition, and can swallow up enough luggage for several days on the road.

Engine

The famed "Six And Three Quarter" 6.75L V8 lies under the hood (or bonnet, in British speak) of this 1996 Bentley Continental R. The engine is turbocharged, but in a very laid-back fashion. In 1996, Rolls-Royce started releasing power figures for their cars, and they say that the unit makes 385hp at 4,000rpm and 550lb-ft of torque from 2,000 rpm until 4,000rpm. Power goes to the rear wheels via a GM-sourced 4L80 automatic gearbox. The car also features adaptive ride control suspension. Furthermore, we’re informed that there are new upper and lower ball joints.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
