Vehicle Description
This exquisite and very rare M-Code Tri-Power 1962 Ford Thunderbird
Sports Roadster is beautifully finished in Red with a Red interior.
Powered by a 390c.i./340hp V8 engine with three 2-Bbl Holley
carburetors and dual exhaust system, backed by a 3-speed
Cruise-O-Matic transmission. This is one of only 1,427 T-Bird
Roadsters built in '62, and it's 1 of only 120 of the scarce
'M-Code' Roadsters made for 1962! It features a cast-aluminum
intake, dual exhaust, and the Sports Roadster Package. It is
absolutely one of the nicest in existence.The 1962 Thunderbird
features a top mechanism that is mesmerizing. Pushing a single
switch--located on the door panel--instantly sets the progress in
motion. After all is said and done, the convertible top completely
disappears beneath the trunk lid. Capable of changing from a sleek,
sporty two-passenger convertible to a four-passenger convertible in
a matter of minutes, it also has the ability to have the top up or
down with or without the fiberglass tonneau cover in place.
Combined with the fiberglass tonneau cover, the '62 T-Bird featured
the longest rear deck in the industry. Reminiscent of a spaceship's
cockpit, the T-Bird's dash wraps around driver and passenger; a
curved console, clad with anodized aluminum smoothly merges with
the dashboard.The third generation of the Ford Thunderbird, 1961 to
1963 model years, featured new and much sleeker styling than
preceding models. The Thunderbird for 1961 introduced several
firsts for the automotive market. The most distinctive feature of
the 1961 to 1963 Thunderbirds was the highly touted 'Swing Away'
steering wheel. With the transmission in the park position, the
steering wheel would slide approximately 18" to allow the driver to
exit the vehicle more easily. Other innovations include a floating
rear view mirror. Common on all autos produced today, this feature
was first found on 1961 Thunderbirds. Several standard features,
like power steering and power brakes, back up lights and bucket
seats were costly options on most other autos. There's never been
anything else quite like them.Back in the day, the Thunderbird
Sports Roadster was a sensation. Its spaceship theme beautifully
executed throughout, it looked like it had just escaped from a
science fiction magazine. Today, our senses are bedazzled by
automobile creations attempting to crossover in as many directions
as possible.For more information on this 1962 Ford Thunderbird
