North Americans will forever remember the Ford Thunderbird as the car that introduced the concept of the European Grand Tourer to the continent. Dubbed the Personal Luxury Car, the Thunderbird was a stellar sales success from 1955 to 1997, with ten generations during that time. In 2002, Ford decided to create a retro-modern nod to this iconic piece of their history, and an eleventh generation was born. Sold for just three years, less than 70,000 units were made. That's why you'd be making a very smart decision to buy this 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe Convertible. The car has got under 15,000 miles on it and is said to have received a recent oil change. Let's take a closer look at it.
This T-Bird looks amazing in its black paint job, punctuated by body-color rocker moldings, a chrome front grille, a decorative hood scoop, and bright-tipped dual exhaust exits at the rear. The car comes with an electrically-operated black soft top, but there's a lovely surprise for its new owner. The original body-color removable hardtop is also included in the sale. So, you're getting two cars for the price of one, basically. A proper hardtop Grand Tourer for daily driving duties and a stylish convertible for the weekend cruise. Inside, you'll find a cozy black and red-themed leather interior waiting to welcome you. There's a clear and neat instrument cluster, a multifunction steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a radio with a 6-CD changer. If it all looks a bit familiar, that's because Ford owned Jaguar at the time, and many Jaguar bits were used to help create the Thunderbird. Imagine that you've got your very own slice of British luxury as well. What more could you ask for? Cupholders? Look in the center console. Cruise control? Present and correct. You'll even get solar-tinted glass to help the dual-zone climate control work more efficiently.
This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe Convertible packs a V8 under its sculpted hood. Specifically, a 3.9L Jaguar-derived unit that's good for 252hp and 267lb-ft. You'll receive a five-speed automatic transmission as well, which sends power to the rear wheels. There's also an HD 110-ampere alternator for better electrical reliability. Finally, you'll find this car to be a surprisingly competent handler on twisty roads. That's because it's got 4-wheel independent SLA suspension and front and rear stabilizer bars. Braking is competently provided by 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
With a name like Thunderbird, it’s hard to not get your pulse racing with anticipation. But hang on, Ford’s Thunderbird isn’t a screaming race machine. On the contrary, it’s America’s take on the Grand Tourers of Europe, and called a Personal Luxury Car. Introduced in 1955, the first generation Thunderbird was a strict two-seater and aimed to offer a value proposition of no-compromise comfort cruising across long distances. It’s a majestic thing, and you’ll see why as soon as you cast eyes on this first-generation 1956 Ford Thunderbird from Fairview, Texas. This 24,715-mile machine is fresh from a recent tune-up and sports a rebuilt engine and gearbox for longevity. Let us tell you why you should buy it without a second thought.

Present today is this lovely 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This American classic is not just a way to slow down the weekend with ʼ50s grace and style with details of a major restoration completed during its lifetime.
With a name like Thunderbird, you’d expect the automobile in question to be quite spectacular, and Ford didn’t disappoint. Conceived in the ʼ50s and debuting for the 1955 model year, the Thunderbird was modeled on the Grand Tourer segment of Europe, and called the Personal Luxury Car in the USA. In fact, one could argue that Ford created this segment with the introduction of the two-seat, plushly-appointed, V8-powered Thunderbird. While the first generation sold in healthy numbers, Ford executives knew that the car had more potential. So, when the second generation came in 1968, it sported a rear seat. This was to make the Thunderbird appealing to well-heeled families, performing a role as their primary family hauler while retaining its sporty and luxurious long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1964 Ford Thunderbird comes from the fourth generation of this iconic American nameplate, and has just over 200,000 miles showing. The car has undergone some work, and all receipts are said to be available.
Three models succeeded the famous Ford Model A, the company's second market success.The Model B, Model 18, and Model 40 were introduced in 1932 and had big shoes to fill. The Model 18 was the first Ford to be equipped with a flathead V-8, and the Model 40 offered it as well. Nowadays, just like their predecessors, the 1932–1934 Fords are extremely popular with hot rodders. If you are in the hot rod community or simply want an interesting car to grace your driveway, this 1933 Ford Model 40 hot rod might interest you. It has 14,800 miles on its clock and is located in Salem, Oregon. With custom modifications and an alluring look, this hot rod is ready to turn heads at your next meet-up.
By the early 2000s, the fourth generation of Ford’s Mustang pony car was becoming a little dated. After all, the fourth generation had served for a decade, and Nineties styling didn’t cut it anymore. Ford answered with a stunning retro-modern reimagination of their signature pony car with the fifth generation in 2005. Out went the curvy and tame, in came new aggressive styling that made every fifth generation Mustang look like it was out for a street fight. The car incorporated many tasteful design cues from the first-generation Mustang of 1964 too, such as a fastback body style, triple rear taillamps and of course, that distinctive stance. Today, we’ve got a nice 2006 Ford Mustang GT from that fifth generation for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. What’s even sweeter is that this car comes with a meaty V8 and just 1,086 miles to its name. What are you waiting for? Snap it up before someone else does – and there’ll be plenty of takers!
There are Mustangs, and there are Mustangs, and this 2024 Ford Mustang GT RTR Spec 2 Supercharged definitely belongs in the camp far removed from run of the mill creations. Because this car represents a reportedly well-documented, performance-focused build with support from both Ford Performance and RTR Vehicles. Based on the current-generation Mustang GT, this single-owner example has reportedly been fitted with a Whipple supercharger by Ford Performance, complete with documentation, and includes a wide range of RTR upgrades. It is currently available in Lompoc, California.
While the Volkswagen Golf may seem relatively mainstream in the United States, it’s a big deal in Europe. That’s because when it debuted for the 1974 model year, it was seen as a modern, value-packed, front-wheel drive family car that was economical and more importantly, fun to drive. Then, Volkswagen introduced the Golf GTi in 1976 and created what we now know as the hot hatchback. The Golf remains on sale to this day, and there’s a variant that’s even hotter than the GTi in the Golf hierarchy. That variant is called the Golf R, which debuted with 2012’s seventh generation. Today, we’ve got an example of a seventh generation Golf R for sale. Say hello to this 2019 Volkswagen Golf R with less than 52,000 miles from Hialeah, Florida. It’s the perfect hot hatchback slash family car for someone who’s a petrolhead but needs a suitably comfortable, practical and well-built vehicle that’s also compact, and most importantly, not an SUV!
Today, we’ve got a fantastic example of Chevy’s desirable eighth generation Corvette for sale in Wilmington, North Carolina.

In the early 2000s, Cadillac wanted to build a stylish and fashion-inspired grand tourer. Cue up the XLR, with its Bulgari-designed gauge cluster, smooth styling, creamy V8 power and powered hardtop. It was meant to take the luxury grand tourer fight to the Germans, but at the time never quite achieved the success envisioned. General Motors aimed to sell at least 5,000 per year, but over the car’s nine-year production run, a mere 15,460 found homes. However, that means that the XLR is now an interesting curio, a future classic, and a car that’s actually rarer than some Italian exotica! So if you want to experience something American that’s actually quite nice to drive and live with, we’ve got a 2006 Cadillac XLR from Lake Tapps, Washington for sale. This car has reportedly covered 64,300 miles so far and looks in great condition.
