Vehicle Description
1962 Ford Thunderbird Coupe There is nothing quite as stunning as a
classic car with flawless sheet metal coated in dazzling black
paint. This mirror finished, Third Generation, Thunderbird hardtop,
still looking brand new after 60 years, has been painstakingly
cherished by the seller since 1988, and is mechanically as sound
and as fit for service as it was six decades ago. What is most
remarkable about the car is that it is a survivor; repainted,
maintained, and serviced as needed to be sure, but it remains
original in almost every respect. Ford produced 68,000 model 63A
TBird coupes in 1962, but there are only a handful left today that
can compare to the great presentation of this car. This Bullet Bird
is powered by the strong and reliable 390 CID FE V8 developing 300
horsepower, and features a Cruise-A-Matic automatic transmission,
power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, tilt
away steering wheel, deep pile carpet, vinyl seats, chrome wheels,
new Uniroyal Tiger Paw white sidewall tires, new shocks, new
brakes, and aluminized dual exhaust with period correct, rumbly,
Smitty mufflers. The odometer shows just under 60,000 miles because
it was zeroed when a fresh NOS factory FE long block and Holley
carburetor were installed in the early 1990s. At that time, the car
was also repainted and it has been kept in pristine condition
since. The seats were professionally recovered less than 10 years
ago in marine vinyl, and there is no visible wear, no tears, no
blemishes in the soft, comfortable, upholstery. The carpet,
likewise, is as new. Always kept indoors, regularly serviced, and
religiously detailed and polished, this car has been a car show
favorite for many years, often winning trophies for paint and
overall appearance. Driven mostly in Las Vegas for the past three
decades, it drives easily, the air conditioning blows cold, and an
aftermarket Custom AudioSound AM/FM/MP3 radio keeps the Oldies but
Goodies rollin' on. This is the kind of car
