The 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe marked the return of one of Ford’s most iconic nameplates, reintroduced as a modern retro-inspired luxury roadster. Built on Ford’s DEW98 platform and sharing architecture with the Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type, this Thunderbird blended classic 1950s design cues with early-2000s refinement and V8 performance. With fewer than 17,000 miles, this example stands out as a well-preserved and lightly driven car, enhancing its appeal as a collectible modern classic. Produced in limited numbers compared to mainstream Ford models, the eleventh-generation Thunderbird has since gained recognition for its distinctive styling, rear-wheel-drive layout, and relaxed grand touring character.
Finished in Whisper White, the exterior showcases signature Thunderbird elements including the egg-crate grille, round headlamps, subtle hood scoop, and clean, flowing body lines. The black power-operated soft top provides a sharp contrast to the paintwork and neatly stows beneath the rear deck, while chrome 17-inch factory wheels complete the period-correct appearance. Inside, the cabin features a black leather interior accented by red seat inserts, a hallmark Thunderbird design detail that adds visual depth and retro flair. The low mileage is reflected in the overall presentation, with the interior remaining clean and well-kept, complemented by power-adjustable seats, a wind deflector for open-top driving, and a driver-focused dashboard that blends retro inspiration with modern convenience.
Power comes from a 3.9L naturally aspirated V8, delivering smooth and responsive performance well-suited to cruising and everyday driving. The engine utilizes electronic fuel injection and is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. This configuration provides a refined driving experience with confident acceleration and composed handling. Traction control enhances stability, while the underlying suspension tuning prioritizes comfort over outright sportiness, reinforcing the Thunderbird’s role as a stylish roadster designed for relaxed, enjoyable motoring rather than aggressive performance driving.

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.
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.
This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is a classic example of one of the most iconic body styles of the first-generation Mustang, combining strong V8 power with timeless fastback design. Factory-equipped with a 289ci V8 and an automatic transmission, this car delivers a smooth, approachable driving experience while retaining the sound and character that made the Mustang a cultural icon. Finished in red over a black interior, this example of 60,707 miles presents as a well-optioned, driver-friendly fastback that blends period-correct styling with desirable performance and comfort features.

Ford’s famous segment creator, there’s nothing like owning a proper, first-generation Mustang from the 1964-1973 period. This is the definitive pony car and classic car that embodies the jaunty side of American automotive enthusiasm. Today’s 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 SportsRoof is a bit more than that, because its from the potent Mach 1 lineage, and packs a mega 428ci Cobra Jet V8 under the hood. Furthermore, here’s a little trivia for you, the fastback body style’s official name was SportsRoof at the time! Bet you didn’t know that. Either way, this car also has a Marty report, a 4-speed close-ratio manual and just 182 miles after a comprehensive makeover.

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.
