Vehicle Description
This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster is from the third
generation of Thunderbirds. It is powered by a 390/300hp 4-barrel
V8 engine matched to its original Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic
transmission. This restored example is finished in its original
factory Rangoon Red (Code J) paint with a black (Trim Code 56)
vinyl interior and factory options that include bucket seats, full
carpeting, front console, power steering, power brakes, power
windows, power door locks, power front seats, original AM radio,
heater and defroster, full instrumentation, a unique swing-away
steering wheel and the roadster's trunk-stored power convertible
top. The Sports Roadster had a special fiberglass tonneau cover for
the rear seats, which gave the car the appearance of being a
two-seater roadster. The original spare wheel with its jack is in
the trunk and the car rides on new Coker tires mounted on its
correct Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire wheels. Priced at over $5,500 when
new, only 1,427 were built in 1962. The sale includes a copy of the
Broadcast Sheet.
