Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1962 Ford Thunderbird
2-Door Hardtop Coupe for purchase. The 1st generation Thunderbird
was a success outselling the Corvette. It was a personal luxury car
(when there really wasn't such a thing) that was a 2-seat roadster,
but Ford felt the sales could be even better. The 2nd generation
(starting in 1958) would see the Thunderbird grow to 4-seats and
offer a hardtop coupe. While such a dramatic change would have doom
written all over it, the sales actually took off and grew at a time
when almost all other American vehicles didn't.
This gorgeous Thunderbird was completely restored and built with
great care and love. It is dressed in a stunning shade of Sahara
Rose over a beige interior. The car is immaculate all around. The
chrome shows very well and as you can see the underside was also
restored. The body work and paint were done in 1985 at Wolf and
Gleason Auto Body. According to the owner, at the time of
restoration there was no rust repair needed, the car was a solid
example to begin with. The power plant consists of its original 390
v8 engine with, according to the owner, roughly 300 horsepower. It
features an automatic, column shift, transmission with a "swing
away" steering column. The owner of the car is a Master ASE
certified technician and rebuilt the motor. The ignition was
upgraded to a Petronix system. The car has power steering, power
brakes and power windows.
This '62 sits in show quality excellent condition and is a great
smooth cruising car! The owner of the car belongs to the Vintage
Thunderbird Club Senior Car and shows it often. It took an
impressive 298 � out of 300. Please call or email for more
details!
