Ford’s Thunderbird was produced from 1955 to 1997 across ten glorious generations of excellence. The Thunderbird was America’s first Personal Luxury Car, a segment created by Ford to bring Americans a slice of the European Grand Touring experience. As time passed by, the fondly-named T-Bird would remain highly relevant until it was discontinued in 1997. Priorities were changing, after all. However, in 2002, Ford deemed it suitable to debut an eleventh generation for three short years. Intended as a homage to the original, it didn’t exactly sell like hotcakes, but over 68,000 units were shifted in total. So, if you’ve always been intrigued by these quirky retro-modern machines, we’ve got a 2002 Ford Thunderbird for your consideration. It’s an all-original example with all servicing up to date and a scarcely believable 19,500 miles on the clock!
This T-Bird wears a Torch Red paint job, which really brings out its retro-modern design language. You’ll definitely notice cues from the very first 1955 T-Birds, mingled with a healthy dose of '80s and '90s elements. The chromed 17-inch wheels are perhaps the most telling signs of the latter. Moreover, this car comes with a black removable hard top that includes the famous Landau window or opera window as it was popularly known. You can remove the hardtop and keep it at home for open-air drives. If the sun becomes too intense or a sudden rain shower threatens your tranquility, the car also includes a power-operated soft top in black. So, you’re protected either way! The two-seat interior of this 2002 Ford Thunderbird is in a two-tone scheme of black and Torch Red. It offers creature comforts such as dual-zone climate control with air conditioning, a radio with an in-dash 6-CD changer, cruise control, and the usual powered conveniences.
Since the eleventh generation T-Bird was conceived when Ford owned British luxury automaker Jaguar, this 2002 Ford Thunderbird packs a 3.9-liter Jaguar V8 under the hood. The naturally aspirated unit can reportedly provide up to 252hp and 267 lb-ft, as per factory figures. Power goes to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic gearbox. All-round ventilated disc brakes are present for decent stopping power, while standard power steering makes slow speed maneuvers and parking a cinch.

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.
Ford’s segment creator, the Thunderbird brought us the Personal Luxury Car in 1955. Ten generations of T-Bird were made until 1997, and an eleventh was sold from 2002 to 2005. Even today, the Thunderbird evokes strong recognition and remains a desirable classic car for many, especially those whose parents or grandparents owned a T-Bird back then. If you’re one of those people, we have this second-generation 1959 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe for sale in our inventory. Coming from Woodbine, Georgia, this 98,461-mile car packs a 352 under the hood, a two-tone interior and an automatic gearbox too. Call us if you’d like to own it.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.
Muscle cars are often regarded as aggressive machinery that makes their entrance with a whole lot of dramatic antics. While that statement is relevant, there is another side to muscle cars - their classic appeal is something that is overlooked when taking into account the performance they have to offer. Present today is this 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible. It's a muscle car in every right and showcases the tame side of muscle car ownership. Better yet, this lovely example has just a reported under 36,000 miles on its clock.
At the 2003 North American Auto Show, Ford debuted a concept car that previewed what the next Mustang could be. The current at the time fourth generation was becoming a little long in the tooth and soft in the flesh, despite Ford trying to spice it up with variants such as the Cobra R. Then, two years later, the fifth generation dropped and…people lost their minds! Here was a Mustang that had fantastic retro-modern looks, a properly fierce face, and the powertrain mix to back it up. Sales skyrocketed, with over 160,000 being sold in the United States alone, for 2005! Sales did temper a little after the initial rush, but during its nine-year run, they never went below 70,000 units per year! Taking example of this 2008 Ford Mustang GT that’s available in Douglasville, Georgia, it’s not hard to see why. This particular car is a drop-top and comes with the potent all-new at the time, all-aluminum Modular V8 at the time. One key is included with the sale of this 106,654-mile car.
Ford’s association with Shelby and resultant Shelby Mustangs was resurrected in 2008, after a long hiatus. You see, Carroll Shelby saw the potential of the first generation Mustang way back in the Sixties and created a special line-up of Shelby Mustangs that were widely regarded as fine performance machines. After that, consecutive generations didn’t receive Shelby treatment until the fifth generation. We don’t know why the Mustang II, Fox Body or SN195 didn’t get the Shelby pampering, but that’s all in the past. Now, we have a machine that has indeed come from the stables of Shelby, a 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake. This potent pony is up for grabs in St. Simons Island, Georgia, and reportedly packs 800 horsepower! It’s done only 12,000 miles and is said to be #33 of 200, with Shelby documentation included with the sale.
