1962 Ford Thunderbird Sport Roadster
I love this car, but at my age, it is time to let it go to a good home. Cosmetically – Very Good. Mechanically – Excellent. $68,700 spent on cosmetic and mechanical replacements made between the prior owner and myself.
There were two Sport Roadster models in 1962 – 76A and 76B. Both had the same special “trim” package. The 76A models were marketed as a Thunderbird Convertible with a Sport Roaster trim package. The 76B models were marketed as a Sports Roadster. Some 558 Sports Roadsters were built using Body Style 76A. The VIN of my car is 2Y85Z 105946 with Model 76A on the Vin plate.
Sport Roadsters had certain body and accessory characteristics such as the fiberglass Tonneau cover, Red, White and Blue emblems on both fenders with a matching emblem on centered on the Tonneau Cover, a Passenger Assist Bar mounted on the padded dash panel in front of the right-side passenger. My car has all that. See the accompanying pictures. This car has real wire wheels purchased in June, 2017. The five-digit Odometer reads 25,121 Since the Odometer only has five digits, we don’t know if it is 25,121 miles (most likely not) 125,121 (most likely) or 225,121 (most likely not). The exterior cosmetics are Very Good, but with very minor paint imperfections and wear. All Chrome is in a similar condition.
Over $51,936 documented mechanical up-grades and replacements. Upon your request, an email that details all the work done over the years available will be sent. Invoices to back-up the investments will be shared with those who actually come to view. 390 Cubic Inch engine is original and has not been rebuilt. Original Shop Manual and Convertible Top Repair Manual available.
This beautiful classic gets a “Thumbs Up” or a honk or two whenever it is taken out for a drive!
