Description of 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster

A rare, erified 1962 Thunderbird Sports Roadster for sale.
The VIN # on this Thunderbird verifies that it is indeed one of the 1427 Sports Roadsters ever built. The owner of the car is at least the second owner. It is currently stored in Carmel Valley, alifornia in a warehouse. The current owner has owned the car for over 20 years. It was recently prepared for a repaint, ut instead is now for sale as is. It is complete will all trim and interior parts.
The car starts, uns and stops. While idling, here is a knock in the engine thatdissipatesafter accelerating. I was not able to drive the car long enough to determine the condition of the transmission.
There are a number of fairly simple and straight forward issues that need to be addressed before this car is ready for the car show:
Engine:

No air filter
Idling knock that dissipates (likely a spark plug issue)
White smoke emitting from the tailpipe
Needs to be cleaned

Interior:

Front and back seats have been re-upholstered
Dash is clean, o cracks
Steering wheel is clean, urns easily and tilts to the right correctly
Instrument panel is clean
Floor panels are straight and clean except for one area where rust has begin to form, ut not go all the way through
All interior moldings are present including tonneau cover. One molding is broken.
Trunk area has only one spot that has rusted through
We cannot verify functionality of power windows, ower seats, ower locks or radio in car's current state.

Body

Body is straight on both sides
Needs paint
All trim is available, ut will need a thorough polishing and/or re-chroming.
One Bird emblem has broken plastic and one script has broken "T"
Top vinyl is complete and not torn. There are color blemishes throughout.
Owner claims that work was completed on the convertible top, ut we cannot verify that it works in the car's current state.
We cannot verify that the lights function in the car's current state.
