Vehicle Description
The 1962 Ford Thunderbird seems to hit that sweet spot in classics.
The design of these third-gen T-birds have the sleek lines, plenty
of room to carry everyone, and this one has been cared for
correctly like a vintage drop-top should. It even comes with the
desirable Sports Roadster-style tonneau for a true distinct cruiser
experience.
This is about showcasing that brief time in automotive history when
designers ruled over engineers, and they got to build the cars they
wanted. A sleekly rounded hood that ends at a point to give the
Thunderbird a true beak. A chrome line that runs from the front
point to the tailfin. Those jet-inspired taillights that are
prominent thanks to a bright bumper that tapers inwards. All the
intricate design work needed to be as complete and straight as this
T-bird is to really make an impression wherever it goes. So this
convertible combines its full brightwork and its stylish
factory-correct Sandshell Beige to deliver a Lincoln-like level of
sophistication. It has led a cared for life, where there are highly
original pieces and well-done investments to make sure replacement
look correct. Some of our pictures show a very cool matching white
tonneau cover that goes over the back seats. No, this is not one of
the ultra-rare Sports Roadster models. Instead, this one offers the
versatility of a back seat and a much more reasonable price. But
you can still wow your friends with the removable fiberglass cover
when you want.
The black convertible top has a distinguished look against the
beige. But for true elegance, you're going to want to power this
down to reveal a well-coordinated look inside and out. After all,
the factory-correct two-tone beige inside harmonizes so nicely
because the exterior hue falls in-between the two. The odometer is
believed to reflect actual total mileage on this car, and such
little seat time means a well-preserved package. The intricate
pattern and factory leather remind you this is a luxury T-bird.
Buckets seats and a center console continues this high-end feeling.
The beautiful round gauges have an elegant look with each in their
own pod, and the band of anodized aluminum trim stretching across
the dash and into the doors adds some nice flair. When the tonneau
cover is off there's plenty of room in back for full-sized adults.
Plus, this has nice details, like the factory Swing-Away steering
column and a retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo upgrade for better
driving music.
Ford's large 390 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top
was standard equipment in 1962. Advertised with 300 horsepower on
tap, it moves this cruising convertible around with ease. The
engine bay is quite stock, and that's a good thing, because Ford
dressed its premium cruiser with a bright oversized air grabber and
Thunderbird-specific valve covers. The Cruise-O-Matic automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes all work in harmony
to help keep the smooth and easy. Plus, those classic
whitewall-style tires hide deep treads of modern cruising
tires.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the premium classic with all
the features you want. So if you'd love to own the road, don't miss
this T-bird. Call today!!!
