Ford’s Thunderbird heralded the arrival of the ‘personal luxury car’ segment, way back in 1954. The Detroit automaker intended it as an upscale two-seat model, but economics dictated that it offers four-seat options as well. Fondly known as the T-Bird, it was produced over ten generations from the 1955 to 1997 model years before bowing out. However, in 2002, Ford released a retro-modern T-Bird as a homage to the original, and just over 68,000 were produced in its three-year run. This model was also featured in the James Bond film ‘Die Another Day’, driven by Halle Berry’s character. Here’s a nice 2004 Ford Thunderbird Premium Merlot Package from our inventory that’s ideal if a T-Bird is your thing. It’s for sale by the original owner, the window sticker is available and has done just 35,000 miles.
Exterior and Interior
The eleventh generation was styled by Jack Telnack and incorporated several hark-backs to the original, including the overall shape, front headlamp profile and the circular portals on the C-pillar. This 2004 Ford Thunderbird Premium Merlot Package sports a classy Merlot paintwork and the rare 80 Spoke wheels. It’s also got chrome ring trims and the premium package. The Merlot-painted hardtop is removable and can be kept at home if you desire since the car also features a Light Sand-colored convertible top and matching tonneau cover. It also has supplemental parking lamps and the premium package. The interior is done in black and saddle, and features heated driver and passenger seats, dual-zone climate control, AM/FM radio with in-dash 6CD changer and the Audiophile sound system for your listening pleasure.
Engine
This 2004 Ford Thunderbird Premium Merlot Package sits on the Ford DEW98 platform that also underpinned the Jaguar S-Type, Jaguar XF and Lincoln LS since Jaguar was a Ford brand during that period. The engine is the Jaguar AJ35 3.9L (238ci) V8, which gained variable valve timing and electronic throttle control in 2003, and more power as a result. Thus, in this car its rated to put out 280hp and 286lb.ft to the rear wheels through a Ford 5-speed automatic transmission, making it a fine cruiser that can cut a respectable dash when pressed. Disc brakes all round provide the stopping power.
Ford revived the Thunderbird nameplate for the 2002 model year as a nostalgic tribute to the original 1955 Thunderbird, blending retro-inspired styling with modern luxury and comfort. Riding on Ford’s DEW platform shared with the Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type, the eleventh-generation Thunderbird delivered smooth V8 performance paired with effortless cruising manners. This particular 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe shows just 11,246 miles and is finished in the iconic Torch Red exterior over a striking Midnight Black and Torch Red interior combination. Equipped with the desirable removable porthole hardtop and factory accent interior package, this low-mileage retro roadster captures the essence of early-2000s American luxury motoring while paying homage to one of Ford’s most legendary nameplates.
Ford’s fourth-generation Thunderbird represented the brand’s move toward upscale personal luxury motoring, combining sleek styling, smooth V8 power, and premium comfort into one sophisticated package. By 1964, the Thunderbird had fully embraced its role as an elegant grand touring convertible, offering buyers a refined alternative to more performance-focused American cars of the era. This 1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible shows approximately 51,901 miles and is finished in eye-catching Rangoon Red over a black vinyl interior. Equipped with a desirable 390ci V8, power-operated convertible top, and signature Thunderbird luxury touches, this example embodies the relaxed cruising character and unmistakable styling that continue to make these cars icons of 1960s American motoring.
The first-generation Ford Thunderbird was introduced in 1955 as Ford’s answer to the emerging personal luxury sports car segment, created in direct response to the Chevrolet Corvette but with a stronger emphasis on comfort, style, and everyday drivability rather than outright sports car minimalism. This 1955 Ford Thunderbird shows approximately 2,948 miles, making it an especially intriguing example for collectors seeking an iconic American convertible from the dawn of the personal luxury era. With its signature porthole hardtop styling, elegant two-seat layout, and V8-powered cruising capability, the original Thunderbird remains one of the most recognizable American cars of the 1950s. This example combines the desirable Y-Block V8, automatic transmission, and dual-top configuration, making it an especially appealing turnkey classic.
Built to conquer desert terrain while turning heads everywhere it goes, this 1974 Ford Bronco is far more than a customized classic—it’s a one-of-a-kind build known as the “Desert Drifter.” Featured in the April 2004 issue of Bronco Driver Magazine (#8), this Bronco was comprehensively built by Rocky Roads and has remained with its current owner since 2004. Showing just 33,857 miles, it blends classic Early Bronco styling with serious off-road engineering, highlighted by a 392ci stroker Windsor V8 producing over 450 horsepower, a purpose-built long-travel suspension system, and numerous Rocky Roads upgrades. Finished in iconic British Racing Green, this Desert Drifter represents an exceptional opportunity to own a magazine-featured Bronco that was built to perform as impressively as it looks.
The Ford Bronco was in its final generation by 1995, representing the last chapter of the full-size Bronco before the model was discontinued after the 1996 model year. This 1995 Ford Bronco XLT shows approximately 200,406 miles and presents as a well-equipped example of Ford’s iconic two-door SUV. Powered by the dependable 351ci Windsor V8, it combines classic truck-based durability with the practicality and off-road capability that made Broncos a favorite among enthusiasts. Finished in Electric Currant Red Metallic over a Ruby Red interior, this Bronco also benefits from modern upgrades including LED lighting and an aftermarket multimedia system with a back-up camera, making it more enjoyable for contemporary driving.
The Ford Bronco returned to the market in 2021 and quickly became one of the most sought-after off-road SUVs in America, blending retro-inspired styling with modern technology and serious trail capability. This 2024 Ford Bronco Wildtrak 4x4 takes that formula even further, featuring the desirable High/Lux Package and a host of aftermarket upgrades designed to enhance both its appearance and off-road performance. Showing just 11,168 miles, this Bronco stands out with a custom exterior finish, a ReadyLIFT 3.5-inch suspension lift, and American Racing wheels that give it a commanding presence on and off the pavement. Combining factory luxury features with rugged capability, this Wildtrak is equally at home on daily drives, long road trips, or remote off-road adventures.
