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.
This particular example has a glossy red exterior with a tan interior. The manual soft-top is also tan, matching the interior, and has a glass rear window and defroster. Being a Red Line, it has several visual upgrades over the base model. On the outside, it has dual polished stainless steel exhaust outlets and silver 18” 5-spoke alloy wheels. On the interior, it has a black leather-wrapped steering wheel with mounted audio controls, stainless steel pedals, chrome door sills (with “Saturn” stamped on them), and embroidered seats. The paintwork appears to be in good condition, except for a few scuffs on the underside of the front bumper.
The Saturn Sky Red Line was available with a 2L Ecotec turbocharged 4-cylinder (which was shared with the Pontiac Solstice and claimed to make 260hp) and a choice of either a 5-speed automatic or a 5-speed Aisin manual transmission. The current owner states that this car has a new 2.0L turbocharged Ecotec I4 engine with 500 miles from General Motors and that it has been upgraded with a 5-speed manual transmission swap. It also reportedly has a new clutch. It also has independent front and rear suspension and disc brakes on all four wheels.

In 2002, Ford introduced the eleventh generation Thunderbird, as a retro-modern homage to the original. It brought back many first-generation attributes such as the two-seat layout, but featured modern mechanicals and technology under the skin. Since Ford owned British automaker Jaguar Cars at the time, there are quite a few Jaguar-derived bits in eleventh generation T-Birds too. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one fine example that’s currently up for grabs in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. With under 17,000 miles on the clock, the Full Interior Color Accent Package and the Deluxe Series Order Code, this is a car for the discerning collector indeed.
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.
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.
