Ford's Thunderbird nameplate would run from 1954 to 1997 across ten generations. It defined what the Personal Luxury Car would be to Americans, akin to Europe's Grand Tourers. In 2002, Ford decided to do a retro-modern homage to the original, and the eleventh generation was born, with a short production run of just three years. Just 68,000 were sold, which was considered lackluster at the time. However, that also makes this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible a desirable future classic, and the 40,900-mile odometer reading only increases its allure.
Pastel shades were the order of the day in the Fifties and Sixties, and this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible does a nice homage to that era with its Robin's Egg Blue paint job. Granted, the seven-spoke alloy wheels are not vintage but add a retro-modern vibe to the car, and they reportedly wear new tires. Ditto the circular head and tail lamp clusters which are retro-styled but feature modern lighting technology. A black convertible top is present to keep you protected from the elements when required. While Ford's first generation Thunderbird was a strict four-seater, subsequent generations added a rear seat. This 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible takes it back to its roots, as you'll only find heated and leather-trimmed seating for two in the original black interior. The steering wheel features media and cruise control buttons, and the instrument cluster has a sort of retro-modern vibe to it as well. As you'd expect on a luxury product, dual-zone climate control, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, an in-dash 6-CD changer, and Audiophile premium sound system are on offer. The seller also reports a large storage space is present.
With underpinnings from Ford that were shared with Jaguar at the time, this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is related to the Jaguar S-Type and uses the 3.9L Jaguar AJ35 V8 with variable valve timing and electronic throttle control. Delivering 280hp of power and 286lb-ft of torque, drive goes to the rear wheels through a Ford Bordeaux five-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports new spark plugs and new brakes have been fitted to this car.
The '50s was surely iconic. The cars, the music and the vibes were ones never to be relieved. Looking to experience or relive the magical time? Present today is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. It's a '50s classic that ensures an original driving experience and looks that make you turn back as you park.
Ford’s T-Bird brought Americans a slice of the European Grand Tourer lifestyle. These luxury cars were initially two seaters with powerful engines and the best luxury and technological features of their time. They were designed to be owned and driven by the wealthy, and capable of crossing the country while imparting the least fatigue upon their occupants. If you’ve always had a soft spot for a T-Bird, this first-generation 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a fine catch. Coming to you with under 35,000 miles on the clock, we’re told that this car is just 1 of 68 produced in the beautiful color that you see in these photos. That fact, plus its original mileage and up-to-date servicing make it a fine classic car that’s a shrewd investment too.
The first-generation Thunderbird was introduced in 1954 as Ford’s answer to the Chevy Corvette that came out the year before. To call it a direct competitor of the Vette would, however, be inaccurate. While the Corvette was a small and lightweight 2-seater with a fiberglass body (to compete with European sports cars), the T-Bird was more of a 2-seater personal luxury car for a younger demographic of buyers (being smaller and lighter than most Detroit products at the time). In fact, in its first production year, it outsold the Corvette by a massive margin. In total, over 53,000 first-generation Thunderbirds were made in 3 years of production, with 1957 being the most successful year.
Ford’s Mustang has always been a playful sort of car, targeted at those who want to have fun. After all, it’s what created the whole pony car segment. But what if a Mustang could truly be hotted up? This is what epic racer, tuner and red-blooded American Carroll Shelby pondered. Well, the man was known for putting his thoughts into actions and the rest, as they say, is history. Even today, Ford offers a Shelby variant of its Mustang. Shelby Mustangs are known for being drag strip demons or ferocious track tools. If you want a relatively modern Shelby Mustang but aren’t willing to wait in queues, we’ve got this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 locked and loaded for you to buy right now. With a mere 1,196 miles on the odometer, it’s basically a brand-new car.

The Porsche 911 is this German automaker’s best-known greatest hit. But did you know that Porsche also had a string of other models as well? These include the 914, 924, 944, and in 1991, the 968. The 968 was the successor to the 944, and like its predecessor, used a front-mounted, watercooled engine. Like the 944, the 968 was designed to sit beneath the 911, acting as a sort of entry-level model. This particular 1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet comes to you with 116,000 miles, showcasing the fact that it’s a very enjoyable car to drive. The current owner reports having the car for approximately three to four years. Would you like to be its next owner?
The Saturn Sky is a two-seater roadster built by GM's now-defunct subsidiary Saturn between 2006 and the company’s closure in 2009 (due to GM’s post-recession budget cuts). It was based on the GM Kappa platform (which it shared with the Pontiac Solstice). Some may also know this car from a different branch of the General Motors automotive tree: Opel. The 2007-10 Opel GT was, in fact, a badge-engineered Saturn Sky for the European market, though sales figures indicate that it was nowhere as successful as the Saturn. The Red Line sub-model of the Sky came with a more powerful turbocharged engine than the base version, a torque-sensing limited-slip differential, StabiliTrak stability control, and enhanced suspension.
