A much sought-after classic from Ford is the Ford Thunderbird, or as it is fondly known, the T-Bird. The T-Bird was introduced in 1955 and was produced in 1997, then resurrected in 2002 until finally discontinued in 2005. Altogether Ford had over eleven generations of the Thunderbird. The first generation T-Bird was an opener, but the second generation is what made the car famous. When Ford resurrected the T-Bird in 2002, they were looking to capture the second generation's appeal and translate it to a modern design, which had borne mixed results from critics and enthusiasts. While the last generation of the T-Bird wasn't a great success, as only 68,098 were produced, they are still considered collectible, as is the case with this 2002 Ford Thunderbird Premium with just 376 miles on the odometer.
This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Premium is painted in Evening Black, and the hardtop is also finished in the body color and features portholes on either side with chrome bezels. A set of chrome-clad OEM 7-spoke aluminum-clad wheels with the Thunderbird logo in the center graces the T-Bird. The front features a distinctive design with round headlights flanking the egg-crate chrome grille while the turn signal lights are surreptitiously embedded into the bumper. The rear is stark save for the chrome T-Bird logo and the silver-tipped tailpipes. On entry, you are greeted by a chrome door sill with embossed Ford and Thunderbird logos. The interior is finished in Midnight Black, and the reclining leather bucket seats feature heating. The car comes with the Black Appearance Package, which adds a high-gloss black accent to the leather-wrapped steering wheel and the automatic transmission gear selector. A silver trim piece runs from the dashboard to the doors. The passenger dash side features the Thunderbird script in the silver trim. An expensive feature, the 6-CD changer is also present in this T-Bird.
The 2002 Ford Thunderbird Premium comes powered with the same powerplant used in the Lincoln LS, the Jaguar-designed 3.9L V8 coupled to Ford's 5-speed automatic transmission. Altogether the T-Bird has a power output of 252hp and 267 lb.ft of torque.
Known as the creator of the Personal Luxury Car segment, Ford’s Thunderbird was inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe – luxurious and spacious machines with potent engines that were developed for traversing long distances in sheer comfort and elegance. Eleven generations of T-Bird were made, and while the initial ones were two-seaters, Ford soon added a rear seat to broaden the T-Bird’s appeal. This 1960 Ford Thunderbird is a fine second-generation example that’s up for sale in Aptos, California. With its front disc brake conversion, electric windshield wipers and just 12,510 miles, it’s an ideal way to own and cherish a piece of American history. Moreover, a car cover and a reprinted original owner’s manual are included in the sale.
The 1955 model year marked the debut of the Ford Thunderbird, a car that defined the American two-seat personal luxury segment and rivaled the Corvette with style and refinement.

Powered by the 292 cubic-inch “Y-block” V8 paired with a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission, it delivers smooth cruising power wrapped in one of Ford’s most iconic designs. Showing 77,080 miles and reported by the current owner as an all-original car, it represents a significant opportunity to own a true piece of midcentury motoring history.

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.
With its funky removable doors and option of a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a soft top, Ford’s Bronco is truly an off-roader like no other. Even today, the sixth-generation Bronco offers these features, rivaled only by the Jeep Wrangler. Ford started making Broncos in 1966 and ran through five generations by 1996. Then, they took a 25-year break before resuming Bronco production in 2021. Today’s 1975 Ford Bronco comes from the first generation and has got a punchy 302ci V8 to move it along. That, its aftermarket sound system, aftermarket wheels and just 96,957 miles make it a formidable contender for anyone seeking a classic four-by-four that can still engage in some spirited mud-plugging or trail bashing. If that sounds like you, contact us as we can hook you up with this Arizona-based Bronco.
There’s something appropriately gangster about Thirties Fords, perhaps its down to their prominent showing in the silent films of the era. The 1932 Ford was produced in Model B, Model 18 and Model 40 forms, with a slew of body styles. The Tudor for example, was a two-door sedan, while the Fordor had, can you guess, four doors. As time passed on, these cars were noticed to be excellent for hot-rodding. That’s what we have here, a 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Sedan Hot Rod from Marlow, Oklahoma with just 13,077 miles to its name. This eye-catching vintage Ford comes with hydraulic air-lift suspension, a V8, and an automatic gearbox too.
