Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is proud to offer this
absolutely stunning 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster at our
Scottsdale, AZ showroom. This beautiful 'bird from a long-ago era
known as the "Jet Age" definitely makes a statement, whether it's
sitting still or in motion. A recent recipient of a full frame-off
restoration that took nearly three years, nothing on this Black
Beauty has been overlooked. Starting with the body, a true Sports
Roadster was purchased to start the project that had no rust. It
was professionally disassembled, media blasted and straightened,
primed, painted, and color-sanded with high-quality PPG products.
All of the exterior trim, bumpers, grille, taillight housings, etc.
have been sent out for refurbishment to like-new condition. The
entire drivetrain was sent out to the most qualified professionals
to get everything done right. The engine has been up-graded with
Edelbrock aluminum heads, intake, and carburetor. It now produces
in excess of 400 HP! Many of the underhood components have taken a
trip through the chrome shop and really make the engine pop.
Underneath the car, where really nobody looks (but critical) to the
functionality, comfort, and safety of driving this Ford classic
wherever you may want to go. All major systems, including, front
suspension, rear suspension, U-joints, braking system, and exhaust
system are fully rebuilt. The interior has new seat covers, new
seat foam, new carpet, a new black convertible top, and everything
else has been perfectly restored. The car has manual windows, an AM
radio that's been converted to AM/FM/Bluetooth, tilt-a-way steering
column, power brakes, a fully functional clock, and provisions for
air conditioning, although at this time is inoperable. It appears
as though the majority of the components are on the car; it just
needs to be completed. The convertible top and all associated
components work flawlessly and turn this two-seater roadster into
an all-weather car in a few minutes with the flip of a switch, all
thanks to nearly every part in the system being replaced with new.
A three-owner car that has received an amazing restoration and that
has traveled less than one hundred miles since completion, along
with full documentation confirming that there is well over $150K in
this no-expense-spared restoration that had the goal in mind of
being one of the top Sports Roadsters in the country. Don't miss
this rare opportunity to purchase one of the rarest Thunderbirds
ever to leave a Ford assembly plant. You won't have to spend three
years to get another car to this level of near perfection. Buy this
impressive 'bird now and enjoy it immediately. To see 100-plus
