The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
Finished in Black, the Thunderbird’s exterior features rounded body lines, a prominent chrome grille, circular headlamps, and signature porthole-style hardtop capability. The factory chrome wheels and low, wide stance give the car a refined yet muscular appearance. Inside, the Ebony interior presents a clean, driver-focused layout with leather seating, metallic trim accents, and period-correct switchgear. The Deluxe trim adds comfort-oriented features while maintaining a cohesive retro-modern aesthetic that feels intentionally restrained rather than flashy.
Power is supplied by a naturally aspirated 3.9L V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, delivering smooth, linear acceleration suited for relaxed cruising. Rear-wheel drive and an independent suspension setup provide balanced handling, while four-wheel disc brakes with ABS ensure confident stopping power. Tuned more for refinement than outright aggression, the Thunderbird offers a composed, comfortable driving experience that prioritizes style, sound, and effortless torque over sharp-edged performance.
In 2002, Ford introduced the eleventh generation Thunderbird, as a retro-modern homage to the original. It brought back many first-generation attributes such as the two-seat layout, but featured modern mechanicals and technology under the skin. Since Ford owned British automaker Jaguar Cars at the time, there are quite a few Jaguar-derived bits in eleventh generation T-Birds too. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one fine example that’s currently up for grabs in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. With under 17,000 miles on the clock, the Full Interior Color Accent Package and the Deluxe Series Order Code, this is a car for the discerning collector indeed.
A key automobile in America’s automotive industry, the T-Bird as it is popularly called was billed as a Personal Luxury Car. This was a segment that Ford supposedly created, reflecting a luxury and powerful two-door machine. Basically, they looked at the Grand Tourers of Europe and said, hey, America has open roads that would suit such a segment of car. Ten generations of T-Bird were made between 1955 and 1997, with a homage eleventh generation showing its face between 2002 and 2005. Today’s 1961 Ford Thunderbird comes from the third generation and has done just 22,000 miles. Based in Kansas City, it’s got a V8, a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox, a black interior and more.

This 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod by Coast 2 Coast is a modern interpretation of pre-war American design, blending timeless Art Deco styling with contemporary performance and drivability. Built around a hand-formed fiberglass body and finished to a high standard, this hot rod was clearly constructed with both show presence and real-world usability in mind. Power comes from a proven LS1 V8, making this classic silhouette far more capable than its original counterpart while maintaining the soul and proportions that made the ’39 Ford an icon. The result is a turnkey hot rod that delivers vintage charm with modern reliability.
Now here’s a truly iconic classic car for someone to catch! This 1964 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Savannah, Georgia with just 305 miles after a thorough makeover. It’s got a nice 289ci V8 under the hood and represents the very first year of production for Ford’s iconic pony car that endures to this day! Interestingly, such cars were called 1964½ models because 1964 was the year of introduction and the Mustang ‘s production started around April. Just over 121,000 units were made for this partial year, before skyrocketing to half a million for 1965! So if you want a true American classic hero that’s ready for action and will only appreciate in value as time passes, pick this car without a second thought.
A true icon of American automotive history, Ford’s Mustang is the creator of what we call the pony car. Introduced in 1964, this special car stole hearts and sold well over a couple of million units in its first generation, which ran until 1973. The brainchild of Lee Iacocca and Donald N. Frey, the Mustang’s iconic lines were penned by Gale Helderman. The hardtop and convertible were first previewed to the public in April 1964, the fastback followed a few months later. Today’s 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is, as the name tells you, a fastback variant which is the one that many lust after. With 60,000 miles on the clock, this North Carolina-based pony is the ideal classic car for someone who is tired of today’s soulless EVs and sanitized plug-in hybrids. It even makes a fine first car for a young person who wants something classic.

One of Pontiac’s last cars before this great American automaker bid goodbye in 2010, the Solstice was a two-door roadster that was made between 2005 and 2010. Over 65,000 were sold, with the car closely related to the Saturn Sky and Opel GT. Yes, the Solstice sort of goes against Pontiac’s typical fare, doesn’t it? Instead of a V8 it packs a four-cylinder under the hood, and comes with a rather compact footprint. However, the Solstice was created in response to a changing world where fuel economy, frugality and sensible size were becoming increasingly prevalent. Plus, it was Pontiac’s first two-seater since the Fiero of the Eighties. Today, finding a Solstice isn’t easy but we have this 2007 Pontiac Solstice for your consideration. With a shade under 56,000 miles to its name, this Fort Myers-based car could be your ideal modern classic for those weekend cruises.
