Description of 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster |
1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster, Rangoon Red, 300hp 390CI 4bbl. This a genuine "89Z" code '62 Thunderbird Sports Roadster equipped with a 300 horsepower V8 390 ci OHV - 4V Carb., one of only 1427 built, or less than 2% of Thunderbird production in 1962. The car is complete with all the Sports Roadster goodies, including the Tonneau Cover, Kelsey-Hays Wire Wheels, the 300hp/390cid V8, 3-Speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission, and 3.00:1 Rear-end. Born on May 1, 1962 she was sold new in the Washington D.C. area. She is finished in her factory original colors, "J" code Rangoon Red, code "56" Black Vinyl Interior, and White Convertible Top. She is handsomely optioned as well, power steering, swing away steering wheel, power brakes, and power windows. This car was restored in 1989, enjoying the life of a driven show car. Since 2005, this Thunderbird has been kept in a climate-controlled garage. During that time, the previous owner treated this Sports Roadster to a mechanical refresh, including but not limiting it to rebuilding the brake system with new brake lines, rear shoes, rear drums, as well as, rebuilding the front end and shocks. The current owner purchased it in 2011 where it has been a California resident ever since. She is a spectacular looking car and a wonderful drive. This car has been professionally inspected by an independent 3rd party in several areas including vehicle mechanicals, paint, and body, this description is based on this non-biased inspection. Exterior Interior Engine Bay Chassis The hardest thing to find when searching for a vintage Thunderbird Sports Roadster is one that is equal parts original, authentic, and road worthy. Nice enough to show and driven enough for "Go". This one does it all. Copies of the independent 3rd party inspection are available upon request. |
