1962 Ford Thunderbird

There is something about a classic convertible that rewinds time and starts conversations before you even turn the key. This Thunderbird carries that kind of presence, a blend of cruising grace and open-air swagger that still turns heads. It wears its survivor patina and character like a well-traveled postcard, hinting at summers and long drives yet remaining an honest, usable classic. Add in the rare Sports Roadster configuration with its removable sport coupe top and fiberglass tonneau that was an expensive factory option, and you have a compelling piece of early 1960s automotive history: a 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster. Step inside and you are greeted by white vinyl bucket seats and a tidy rear bench hidden beneath the sport coupe top cover. The interior appears correct and likely original, complete with factory AM/FM radio, tilt-away steering, power windows and power locks. A few age marks are present, but the door panels, seats and stock gauges present well for a survivor-quality car. Under the hood sits the period-correct 390 V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay is neatly dressed with new valve covers, an upgraded air cleaner and a refreshed radiator support piece. Factory air conditioning remains installed, and the car features power steering plus power brakes and a battery cutoff knob.
