Overview of 1960 MG MGA 1600 Coupe For Sale by Owner

MG or Morris Garages is one of the most iconic British automakers in history. Today, the brand is under Chinese ownership and primarily makes SUVs and sedans, with some electric mobility options too. But if you look at its storied history, MG was well-known for making some of the most fun-to-drive British sports cars. What’s so great about British sports cars? You see, they are the very opposite to what we Americans consider sporting. These are tiny cars, smaller than your average subcompact, with low-displacement engines that merrily hum away. However, these flyweights are anything but slow; they can drive circles around larger, lumbering V8 machines. The MGA model came in 1955 and ran until 1962. Over 100,000 were produced, majority of which were exported. Today’s 1960 MG MGA 1600 is one of those examples, and has received a fair bit of replacement parts to keep it as fresh as possible. Now, the car waits in Fort Mill, South Carolina for a new owner. The current owner includes the refurbishment records and photos with the sale.

Exterior and Interior

One look at this 1960 MG MGA 1600 and you know it’s a special car. Check out its black paint job and 15-inch chrome wire wheels. You’ll also notice that this is a coupe rather than a convertible, which is great for all-weather enjoyment. The car’s bumpers and grille are also covered in chrome, and the whole thing is just 156 inches long and 58 inches wide. Now that’s diminutive! The interior of this 1960 MG MGA 1600 features two red leather-upholstered seats and a red-trimmed dashboard. It’s a place where driving enjoyment takes precedence, with no unnecessary fripperies or digital distractions to disturb the atmosphere of purity.

Engine

This 1960 MG MGA 1600 enjoys a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, powering the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The car comes with front disc brakes and rear drums for excellent stopping power. Refurbishment parts include a D9 camshaft and bearings, adjustable camshaft sprocket, a Jaguar-sourced timing-chain tensioner, a camshaft tachometer drive gear, replacement rocker shaft assemblies and pushrods, 0.010” main and rod bearings, and a custom coolant-block-off sleeve thermostat. Also replaced are the cylinder head and manifold hardware, wiring harness, voltage regulator, starter motor, and more. So, this car is just waiting to be driven in enjoyment.

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.
