The 1962 Ford Thunderbird seems to hit that sweet spot in classics. The design of these third-gen T-birds have the sleek linesand#44; plenty of room to carry everyoneand#44; and this one has been cared for correctly like a vintage droptop should. Best of alland#44; the price is irresistible. This is about showcasing that brief time in automotive history when designers ruled over engineersand#44; 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. And when it comes with its full brightwork and its factory-correct Corinthian Whiteand#44; this convertible has a Lincoln-like level of sophisticated presentation. It has led a cared for lifeand#44; including restoration work that was done midway throughand#44; so its caretakers have been invested in its collectability over the decades. And we can understand why... because more than just looking goodand#44; its a rare vehicle. With less than 10and#44;000 produced in 62and#44; there are not many that survived so nicely today. Some of our pictures show a very cool matching white tonneau cover that goes over the back seats. Noand#44; this is not one of the ultra-rare Sports Roadster models. Insteadand#44; 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 factory-correct blue metallic vinyl interior is the perfect complementing color on this droptop (after alland#44; youre going to be showing it off a lot!) It has the kind of cool seat color that could only come from the 60and#44; but it also has a subtle elegance of good stitching and complementing hues. Buckets seats and a center console continues this feeling of high-end luxury. The beautiful round gauges have an elegant look with each in their own podand#44; 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 theres plenty of room in back for full-sized adults. You get original features like the AM radioand#44; heat/defrost slidersand#44; and power locksand#44; but there are three we know youll love the best. The combination of the power windows and the power convertible top means you can go from enclosed luxury to wind-in-you-hair without ever having to leave the drivers seat. And finally the Swing-Away steering column makes it uber easy to get out of the car! Fords large 390 cubic-inch V8 was standard equipment in 1962and#44; and this one is even believed to be the original motor. Advertised with 300 horsepower on tapand#44; it moves this cruising convertible around with ease. It fires up nicely with an authoritative hum out of the dual exhaust that seems perfect for this mature T-Bird. The engine bay is quite stockand#44; and thats a good thingand#44; because Ford dressed its premium cruiser with a bright oversized air cleaner and Thunderbird-specific valve covers. The Cruise-O-Matic auto transand#44; power steeringand#44; and power brakes all work in harmony to help keep the ride luxurious. Plusand#44; those original-style wheel covers hide modern Goodyear tires that give this Thunderbird better grip than any 60s-style rubber. Complete with owners manualand#44; maintenance recordsand#44; and plenty of valuable spare componentsand#44; who knew complete elegance could be so obtainable? Dont miss outand#44; call today!! |
