Ford

15 guides · 1964–present

Ford put the world on wheels with the Model T, then spent the next century periodically reminding everyone it could build anything: the flathead V8 that democratised performance, the GT40 that beat Ferrari at Le Mans four years running, the Mustang that invented the pony car and has never gone out of production. The collector market runs correspondingly deep — from brass-era Ts through 1960s Total Performance icons to the 2005–06 and 2017–22 GT supercars, both instant collectables. Today the Mustang soldiers on as the last V8 pony car standing, crowned by the track-bred GTD — while RS-badged fast Fords sustain an entire collecting culture of their own in Europe.
