Ford’s Thunderbird is widely considered to be the model that kicked off the ‘personal luxury car’ segment in the Fifties. Introduced in 1955, it ran until 1997 for ten generations, and an eleventh-generation retro-modern Thunderbird was produced between 2002 and 2005. Fondly known as the T-Bird, the Thunderbird spanned many variants, from two-seat convertible to six-passenger (two bench seats) hardtop. This vehicle is a 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster from the third generation of the model that ran between 1961 and 1963. In fact, the Thunderbird’s model cycles were quite short, spanning three or four years each. This car comes from Florida with 81,955 miles on the clock and is reported to be an early Roadster, from the second hundred group of production of this generation. If you are looking for a piece of automobile Americana that sports an eye-catching color, is a convertible, and comes with a V8 engine from the Blue Oval, look no further than this example, which is reported to be a numbers-matching car.
This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster is dressed in an eye-catching Rangoon Red paintjob and looks stunning, rolling on its original Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels with recently replaced whitewall tires. It’s got a black power convertible top, and a tonneau cover plus replacement padded deck cover are included in the sale. The current owner reports that it was undercoated when purchased, has been stored in a climate-controlled garage and has never been driven in bad weather. The interior is done in black and contrasting silver. The Thunderbird has an art deco-inspired twin-hooped dash design which is in great condition on this car. The original AM radio sits in the dash too.
The third generation T-Bird came with only one engine, the 6.4L (390ci) V8 with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic MX automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. That’s precisely what powers this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster. The engine puts out 300hp and 427lb ft. This car has also been specified at the dealer with the Tri-power option, which entails three twin-barrel carburetors. Power brakes are present to help with stopping. The car has been recently tuned up and has received new plugs and wires.
Known as the creator of the Personal Luxury Car segment, Ford’s Thunderbird was inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe – luxurious and spacious machines with potent engines that were developed for traversing long distances in sheer comfort and elegance. Eleven generations of T-Bird were made, and while the initial ones were two-seaters, Ford soon added a rear seat to broaden the T-Bird’s appeal. This 1960 Ford Thunderbird is a fine second-generation example that’s up for sale in Aptos, California. With its front disc brake conversion, electric windshield wipers and just 12,510 miles, it’s an ideal way to own and cherish a piece of American history. Moreover, a car cover and a reprinted original owner’s manual are included in the sale.
The 1955 model year marked the debut of the Ford Thunderbird, a car that defined the American two-seat personal luxury segment and rivaled the Corvette with style and refinement. This first-year example is finished in black over a black-and-white vinyl interior and retains its timeless original character. Powered by the 292 cubic-inch “Y-block” V8 paired with a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission, it delivers smooth cruising power wrapped in one of Ford’s most iconic designs. Showing 77,080 miles and reported by the current owner as an all-original car, it represents a significant opportunity to own a true piece of midcentury motoring history.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird remains one of the most recognizable icons of America’s motoring golden age, blending sporty proportions with luxury appointments. This example, finished in vibrant red over a black interior, benefits from a reported frame-off restoration completed five years ago and retains its period-correct charm with thoughtful upgrades for drivability. Powered by a strong-running V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, and accompanied by both hard and soft tops, it offers collectors and enthusiasts an exciting opportunity to own a piece of Thunderbird history.
The 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT marked the debut of the second generation, blending full-size truck capability with SUV versatility. Riding on the F-Series chassis, it was built to handle serious off-road use while delivering a comfortable, upscale driving experience. This example, finished in factory-correct Bright Jade and Dark Jade Metallic two-tone paint, showcases the vibrant and distinctive styling of late-1970s Ford design. Equipped with the top-tier Ranger XLT package and the largest available 400 cubic-inch V8 engine, this Bronco represents both luxury and power in a timeless off-road icon.
With its funky removable doors and option of a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a soft top, Ford’s Bronco is truly an off-roader like no other. Even today, the sixth-generation Bronco offers these features, rivaled only by the Jeep Wrangler. Ford started making Broncos in 1966 and ran through five generations by 1996. Then, they took a 25-year break before resuming Bronco production in 2021. Today’s 1975 Ford Bronco comes from the first generation and has got a punchy 302ci V8 to move it along. That, its aftermarket sound system, aftermarket wheels and just 96,957 miles make it a formidable contender for anyone seeking a classic four-by-four that can still engage in some spirited mud-plugging or trail bashing. If that sounds like you, contact us as we can hook you up with this Arizona-based Bronco.
There’s something appropriately gangster about Thirties Fords, perhaps its down to their prominent showing in the silent films of the era. The 1932 Ford was produced in Model B, Model 18 and Model 40 forms, with a slew of body styles. The Tudor for example, was a two-door sedan, while the Fordor had, can you guess, four doors. As time passed on, these cars were noticed to be excellent for hot-rodding. That’s what we have here, a 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Sedan Hot Rod from Marlow, Oklahoma with just 13,077 miles to its name. This eye-catching vintage Ford comes with hydraulic air-lift suspension, a V8, and an automatic gearbox too.
