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.

In 1955, the Ford Thunderbird entered the American luxury car market and shook it up. Aimed at bringing Americans a taste of the European Grand Touring experience, the Thunderbird was called the Personal Luxury Car. It was a powerful two-seater with a suitably spacious trunk and all the creature comforts of the day. Aimed at covering hundreds of miles with ease, the T-Bird quickly became a cult classic. Ford made ten generations until 1997, but they had a brief change of heart in 2002. Hence, a retro-modern eleventh generation was released, and made until 2005. Just 60,000 were sold, making this generation relatively rare in comparison with the early ones from the Fifties and Sixties. So, if you’ve wanted to try out one of these curios, check out this 4,475-mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now with us.
Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.
Ford introduced the Thunderbird in 1955, aiming to give Americans a slice of that Grand Touring thing that well-heeled Europeans were enjoying. Billed as a Personal Luxury Car, the Thunderbird was a segment-starter. Here was a luxurious, two-seat machine with a capacious trunk and a powerful V8 under the hood. Offering ample grunt, the T-Bird as it became known, was a machine for crossing States in a day, traveling for hours on end, and only stopping for refreshment or relief. Ten generations were made until 1997, with an eleventh produced between 2002 and 2005. This 1962 Ford Thunderbird is a great third-generation example, and it’s had some rejuvenation carried out over the past few years. Hence, it’s a fantastic classic for you to start a collection with.
Ford’s longest-running series to date, the F-Series entered production in 1948, and revolutionized small businesses across America. Here was a sturdy, capable and reliable pickup truck that came in capacities of ½ ton upwards. It offered a great way to transport your goods to market, bring back raw materials, and carry your family as well. Now we’re on the fourteenth generation of the F-Series, and there have been many greats along the way. This 2008 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson comes from the eleventh generation and is the result of a collaboration between Ford and Harley Davidson. This special edition was offered for the tenth generation as well. Furthermore, this truck comes with the Saleen supercharger package, making it one heck of a ride to own and drive.

Ford’s third generation Mustang was introduced in 1979, and quickly became known as the Fox Body, due to it sitting on Ford’s Fox platform. Designed by Jack Telnack, the third generation came as a coupe, convertible and hatchback. Thankfully, it retained the rear-wheel drive layout, despite Ford considering making it front-wheel drive during its early development days. While the Fox Body wasn’t immediately a hit, it’s considered a nice modern classic ʼStang these days. If you’re a Fox Body fan or eager to see what the Fox is like, here’s a nice 1985 Ford Mustang GT for sale. The car has seen plenty of work to make it better than factory, and comes with just 2,000 miles on the clock after a comprehensive overhaul that includes its interior, exterior, and mechanical bits.
