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.
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.
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.
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.

The first generation Ford Mustang sold by the proverbial bucketload during its production run that spanned late 1964 until 1973. It had created a class of fun to drive two-door family cars called pony cars, and would be a trend-setter for decades. For many Mustang punters, the first generation in fastback form is the holy grail – of course aided by its appearance in Bullitt where many smokey burnouts ensued. Today, we have a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback Restomod that’s definitely capable of vaporizing its tires, thanks to a blueprint 347ci V8 and some neat mods. This car is currently up for sale in Morgan Hill, California and has got under 23,000 miles on the clock.
Ford’s Bronco was the first Sport Utility Vehicle – that’s SUV to you and me – to be developed by Ford. When it was released in 1966, it became clear that the Blue Oval had knocked it out of the park on their first try. The Bronco would be a sales success, with five generations made until 1996, then a twenty five year hiatus and a fine sixth generation that continues on sale to this day. Owning a classic Bronco is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got one vehicle up for grabs today. Here’s a second-generation 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT up for sale in Downey, California. The second generation was introduced in 1978, making this vehicle straight from the first year of production. It’s got under 95,000 miles on the clock, a 400ci V8 under the hood and a nice green two-tone color theme about it. A Marti report is included with the sale.
