Vehicle Description
Here is a very nice 1962 Ford Thunderbird in great condition inside
and out. This beautiful bird is an absolutely solid and very
original car with what we believe to be 51,000 original miles as
stated by the Arizona title. Another reason we believe this is a
low mileage car is the mostly original interior condition and
unworn brake pedal pad as well as all chrome and mostly original
paint are both are in exceptionally good unmolested condition. The
car is completely solid and I could not find a single spot of rust
on this car. The region code on the build sheet will back up this
claim since it shows DSO 72 as the original delivery region which
is San Jose, CA. Buy now and don't miss out on your chance to own a
solid, well preserved West Coast Thunderbird.

The exterior on the car is in great condition and is solid as a
rock. The paint almost all original around the car with just a few
small touch up blends and the lower front valance re-painted to
touch up many years of rock chips. The Bird was just color sanded
and buffed and brightened up to a nice shine and luster and gets
looks good, and gets thumbs up from everybody as it goes down the
road. The chrome is original and in awesome condition with no
pitting and only minor scratching and a few dings. All glass and
rubber seals are in good shape and the windshield is crack free.
The car is riding on 15" period correct Coker radial whitewalls
with factory Kelsey Hayes wire wheels.
The interior is in great shape all around for being mostly
original. All gauges are in excellent condition and dash looks like
new. The radio works and is cosmetically in great shape. The
headliner and visors are in exceptional original condition. All
seats are original vinyl with only the bottom cushion on drivers
seat appearing to be redone. The door panels are original and in
excellent shape. The Arizona heat is notorious for deteriorating
the plastic inside these cars, so you can tell this car was garaged
and hidden away from the elements for many many years.
Mechanically, this Thunderbird runs great. The highlight of this
car is what lurks under the hood. A big block beast in the shape of
a 429ci solid lifter Ford Industries motor. The motor provides
ample power to move the car around comfortably. All correct
accessories are in place and the motor has been completely detailed
to original condition including use of correct Ford Blue paint and
has very nice Ford Racing billet brackets up front holding a nice
new alternator and aluminum AC compressor. The hoses and electrical
still needs to be hooked up to get the AC in working condition.
Many new parts were installed during the freshen up. The mechanical
system as well as the suspension on this car is in perfect working
condition and needs nothing.
The trunk still has all original paneling and mats and look very
good for original. All correct jacking tools are present as well as
a good spare tire.
All in all, this is one very clean and very respectable '62 T-Bird
Survivor. This car is a great example of a solid western car which
has been well taken care of and is a car you can be proud to drive
anywhere. These Bullet Bird style Thunderbirds are most desirable
