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 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. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.
The first-generation Ford Bronco cemented its legendary status the moment it debuted. Fast forward to today, its timeless, boxy design remains a hot commodity in the custom build scene, with modified examples commanding top dollar. One such standout is this stunning 1974 Ford Bronco Velocity Edition, meticulously crafted by the experts at Velocity Restorations, blending modern upgrades with its iconic heritage.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
You might be thinking “Boy, I’ve sure been seeing a lot of first-gen Ford Mustangs for sale lately”. Well, that’s due to no fault of the car; rather the fact that Ford sold them by the bucketload. Introduced in September 1964, 121,000 units were sold in the last three months of that year, with 22,000 orders taken on the first day itself! The next year, 1965, would see sales balloon to over 559,000 for that year alone. So, this 1965 Ford Mustang is one of over 559,000 that were made. This is great, because it means that getting your hands on a classic first-generation Mustang is relatively easy. After all, wouldn’t you think that it’s one of the best starter classics? This particular car has received a host of mechanical refreshments and upgrades, making it an absolute beauty to drive.
The C7 or seventh generation Corvette is the last of the front-engined brigade of America’s most-loved sports car. When the C8 dropped in 2020, it shifted to a mid-engined layout and went chasing baby supercars. That means cars like this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ are highly desirable items, future classics, and the best way to enjoy American power and handling. Bearing a mere 39,000 miles, this car is now up for sale, and you’d better act quickly if it takes your fancy.

Audi’s A7 is widely regarded as one of the brand’s most beautiful modern cars. It’s a five-door liftback that essentially a sportier A6. When the first generation was revealed in 2010, it drew plenty of admiration for its sporty silhouette, thrilling performance and surprisingly spacious interior. The second generation was introduced in 2018, and raised the bar even higher. Of course, Audi had to make an RS variant, and they did, with the RS7. So, if you like four-door luxury cars with coupe-like profiles and nearly 600 horsepower on tap, may we present this 2022 Audi RS7 for your kind consideration? The car’s done only 2,000 miles so far, so it’s basically brand-new. It’s also received a recent servicing.
