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.
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 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. This first-year example is finished in black over a black-and-white vinyl interior and retains its timeless original character. 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 gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby.
