The Ford Thunderbird was created in 1955 as Ford’s ‘personal luxury car’ in response to the rising tide of performance-oriented models. Ford wanted to create something with a focus on driving comfort and with convenience features. Initially penned as a two-seater, the 1958-onwards model introduced a rear seat, and it can be considered America’s interpretation of a ‘Grand Tourer’. In fact, the Thunderbird was so well received that between 1968 and 1998, Ford’s sister brand Lincoln marketed rebadged Thunderbirds as various models in its lineup. This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Coupe available for sale is a fourth-generation Thunderbird. The fourth generation ran between 1964 and 1966 and saw a restyle towards a more squared-off design ethos. Two hundred thirty-six thousand examples of the fourth generation were produced over its three-year span. Offered as a hardtop or convertible, this example is a hardtop known as the Town Coupe variant. The car comes from Illinois, is reported to be a numbers-matching car and has seen 52,975 miles so far. It is also said to be an all-original survivor by the current owner, who is stated to have inherited the car.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Coupe is reported to have been repainted at some point in its life. The exterior is a shade of maroon that, in some lighting, tinges towards coppery, lending it an alluring shade. The car rolls on period-correct rims and Thunderbird-etched hubcaps, wrapped in Dunlop tires with white stripes. It is also reported to be undercoated. The interior is an all-black affair with leather seating for four adults, a thin-rimmed steering wheel with Thunderbird boss and a full array of gauges. Factory-fitted air conditioning is also present, as is a push-button radio and chrome interior trim.
Fourth-generation Thunderbirds came with a choice of three V8 engines, ranging from 390ci to 428ci. This 1966 example is equipped with the 390ci (6.4L) V8 that drives the rear wheels through a Ford C6 three-speed automatic transmission. Originally putting out 300bhp, the output gained an increase to 315bhp for 1966. The Thunderbird is a comfort cruiser, which is reflected in its soft suspension set-up. Braking is via discs at the front and drums at the rear.

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.
Ford’s segment creator, the Thunderbird brought us the Personal Luxury Car in 1955. Ten generations of T-Bird were made until 1997, and an eleventh was sold from 2002 to 2005. Even today, the Thunderbird evokes strong recognition and remains a desirable classic car for many, especially those whose parents or grandparents owned a T-Bird back then. If you’re one of those people, we have this second-generation 1959 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe for sale in our inventory. Coming from Woodbine, Georgia, this 98,461-mile car packs a 352 under the hood, a two-tone interior and an automatic gearbox too. Call us if you’d like to own it.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.
The 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.
A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
