Overview of 1960 MG MGA For Sale by Owner

Some cars have their own special place in history — and that’s exactly how we’d describe the 1960 MG MGA. The MGA is a simple formula. Featuring a longitudinally-mounted engine up front, a two-door convertible body style, and rear-wheel drive, it’s the kind of classic sportscar formula that many manufacturers often try to replicate. Few cars can capture the same charms of the original MGA, though. This is carefree motoring at its best, and it's no wonder that these dainty British roadsters are sought after today.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior design of the MGA is as timeless as you may imagine. It features a pleasing and sculptured shape with a body-on-frame chassis. The headlight pods are pleasingly integrated into the front fenders, and the chrome grille is typical of what you’d find on an MGA of this era. You’ll also find rounded rear arches, which leave you with a nicely sculpted rear. The two-seater cabin is basic but functional. The seating position is higher than other sportscars of the era, giving you a better view of the road ahead. However, the interior features the right amount of guages to keep you informed of what is going on under the hood, while the steering wheel will be the best barometer of what the road surface is like.

Engine

The MGA was available with multiple engine options, including a 1500cc B-Series single cam and a more advanced 1600cc dual-overhead cam version. While details on the powerplant on this particular car have not been provided, there’s no going wrong with the MGA engines of this era, each with their own unique charm.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
