An iconic car from the Fifties is the Ford Thunderbird. This personal luxury car was produced from 1954 to 1997 and reintroduced from 2002 until 2005. Throughout its 45 years of production Ford made the Thunderbird in eleven distinct generations. Arguably the third generation of the T-Bird is the most highly sought after and desired by collectors and enthusiasts. Our subject is from this generation, and with an immaculate full frame off restoration this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is available to be seen in South Carolina. It has just 500 miles after the restoration, and is a true gem to get your hands on. The original booklets and leaflets are also available.
This 1962 Ford Thunderbird underwent a high-quality frame-off restoration job in 2011. During the restoration, the exterior was repainted in the original Corinthian White. This magnificent specimen sits on a set of white-wall tires wrapped around vintage wire wheels which are reportedly original. All chrome parts were re-chromed and polished to a beautiful mirror shine. This car also sports a functioning power top. A tonneau cover in white with red trim will also be given with the sale. The interior saw a similar level of attention to detail, being re-done at the time of restoration to the original Thunderbird Red. The car is steered by the characteristic Fifties and Sixties large but slender movable steering wheel which is tastefully done in red and chrome shades. A three-piece instrument cluster communicates the car’s vitals to the driver. Power windows and the period-correct push-button radio complete this immaculate interior that can seat up to four persons when the tonneau cover is removed.
This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible features the sole engine option that was offered on the third-generation T-Bird, the 390ci (6.4L) V8. The engine put out a suitable 300hp of power that was sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic MX automatic transmission. This car also has power brakes with disc brakes on all four wheels assuring of ample stopping power. The suspension is a front independent design with a rear live axle supported by semi-elliptic springs. Power steering is also on hand to assist with maneuvering the car.
