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 ’90s was a time when computer-aided automotive design was really taking off, with even more attention paid to the way that aerodynamics influence performance. This is evident in the 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX’s streamlined and clean outer appearance. It features a relatively low front end and has a shorter wheelbase than its predecessor. This, being a facelifted model, features an updated appearance, with the Thunderbird emblem appearing on the grille and a more curvaceous hood injecting some pizzaz into the design. Our featured example is painted in black and is reportedly all-original, right down to the chrome wheels, which are wrapped in Firestone tires. The originality extends to the interior. Images of the interior confirm the low mileage, with a four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel that looks virtually factory fresh, pedals that are sans wear, and uncracked dashboard plastics. The 1997 Ford Thunderbird was relatively loaded for its era, featuring gray cloth upholstery, cruise control, power windows, a tilt steering wheel, and a power sunroof.
Under the hood lies a 3.8-liter V6 powerplant, which reportedly outputs 155 hp in this application. The naturally aspirated V6 engine is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This all-original car appears to be unmolested under the hood, with no modifications reported and up an up-to-date servicing history to ensure this time capsule of a car continues for many more years to come.

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 contribution to American motoring history in the luxury segment, the Thunderbird came in 1955 and created the Personal Luxury Car segment. The idea was to replicate what was called the Grand Tourer in Europe. After all, the United States was gaining some fine interstates, crisscrossing the land and connecting East and West. There was stunning scenery, interesting culture and culinary delights to be explored. All the well-heeled needed was a suitable car to connect them all with. That’s where the Personal Luxury Car came in. The Thunderbird ran from 1955 to 1997 across ten generations, then a homage eleventh generation was made between 2002 and 2005. Today’s 1989 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe is from the tenth generation and resides in Delray Beach, Florida. It’s got just 10,500 miles on its wheels, and a supercharged engine under its hood! Join us as we tell you more, and if you’d like to own this car, we’re ready to help.
Known as the creator of the Personal Luxury Car segment, Ford’s Thunderbird drew inspiration from Europe’s grand tourers—machines built for comfort, elegance, and long-distance cruising. Ford ultimately produced eleven generations of the T-Bird, evolving from its original two-seat layout to a more versatile four-seat design that broadened its appeal. This 1960 Ford Thunderbird is a standout second-generation example currently offered in Aptos, California. With only 12,510 miles since its full restoration, this car presents as a well-preserved and thoughtfully updated classic. Upgrades such as a front disc brake conversion and electric windshield wipers enhance drivability while maintaining its vintage charm. The sale also includes a car cover and a reprinted original owner’s manual, making it an inviting opportunity to own and enjoy a piece of American automotive history.
The fourteenth generation of the Ford F-150 was introduced in 2021, and remains the current one on sale. There are several variants, including the Raptor and Lightning, but this particular truck is a little different. You see, it’s a 2021 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake which, as the last part of its name suggests, has received tuning by Shelby American, the company founded by the legendary Carroll Shelby. Yes, Shelby didn’t only tune Mustangs; he turned his attention to other Ford models, and after his demise, the company continues that fine legacy. So, just how potent is this machine? Well, how does 950 horsepower grab you? We’d say that it grabs you very strongly indeed. If you’d like to own this fearsome beast, it’s up for sale in Torrance with a mere 47,521 miles on it so far.
This 1966 Ford F-250 Crown Crew Cab 4×4 is a rare example of a purpose-built heavy-duty truck ordered with both specialized coachwork and Ford’s upscale Custom Cab specification. Unlike the standard fleet-grade bodies typically used for Crown conversions, this truck was built on a F-250 platform and equipped from new with the 81B Custom Cab package, pairing a four-door Crown-built body with Ford’s highest interior trim of the period. A comprehensive, factory-correct restoration was carried out with the singular goal of returning the truck precisely to its original 1966 configuration rather than modernizing or reinterpreting it. The combination of Custom Cab trim, Crown coachwork, faithfully recreated upholstery materials, and original-style factory air conditioning places this truck among the most authentic Crown crew cab F-250s known, supported by Hemmings documentation and minimal mileage since completion.
In 2005, Ford revealed the all-new fifth generation Mustang to the public. This was a significant moment, because the fourth generation was really old in the tooth. It would sit on a totally new platform, and have styling that harked back to the original first-generation as well. The fifth generation also marked the return of the Shelby Mustang. This fine association was prevalent in the first generation, when Carroll Shelby’s outfit tuned Mustangs to become thoroughbred racehorses! In 2007, the Shelby GT500 for the fifth generation was released, and we have an under 10,000-mile example for sale now. This car comes with the original window sticker too, making it a definite must-have for the discerning collector, or someone who wants a relatively rare Mustang to enjoy.

Based on a Corvette although you’d never guess by merely looking at it, the Cadillac XLR was a two-door luxury grand tourer made between 2003 and 2009. It came with a Northstar V8 under the hood, a power-retractable roof, an instrument cluster designed Bulgari, and all the luxury trappings you’d expect for something from Cadillac. While sales were modest, with just over 15,400 units sold during its time, the XLR is now becoming a future classic of sorts. It’s modern enough to drive in 2025, yet has that sort of lasting aura that ensures it will be around even in two or three decades time if maintained correctly. So, we’ve got a 2007 Cadillac XLR-V for sale from Andalusia, Alabama if you feel that an XLR belongs in your life. This particular car is particularly appealing because of its mileage of just 24,000!
