Overview of 1962 MG MGA Roadster For Sale by Owner

The Sixties British Roadster is the perfect antidote to your daily driver. Compact, lightweight, and perky, these cars came to our shores, too. Hence, the discerning collector can enjoy this 1962 MG MGA Mark II Roadster which is the final year of this body style for this model, if you choose to purchase it from us. This car has undergone a full restoration and a rebuilt engine with a mere 3,300 miles on it since then. Hence, this car is as good as new and awaits its second life.

Exterior and Interior

The new red paint job on this 1962 MG MGA Mark II Roadster gleams in the sunshine, highlighting how compact this car really is. To put it into perspective, it's smaller than many subcompact crossovers on our roads. Park it within a typical North American parking space, and you'll be amazed at how much room there is all around the car. The car reportedly sports new tires and hubcaps, too, and comes with a manually-operated tan convertible top to provide some weather protection. However, the point of a British roadster isn't weather protection but open-topped driving nirvana. That's why the two-seat cabin of this 1960 MG MGA Mark II Roadster is sparse, with two leather seats, a steering wheel, a gear shifter, three pedals, and a full suite of gauges. Yes, there are headlights, turn signals, and everything else needed to make this car road legal, plus a heater, but little else. You'll really enjoy a comprehensive digital detox when you drive this car, as there isn't even a place to put down your mobile phone and forget about charging it on the go!

Engine

The tiny 1,600cc in-line 4-cylinder engine could deliver around 90hp when new. Thanks to its rebuild, we're sure you'll find most, if not all, of those horses, are still galloping with frenzy. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the car has received new brakes, a new throttle, new gaskets including the valve covers, a new timing chain, a new clutch, new wiring, a new carburetor kit, and new pipes. Then, there's a new long-reach radiator, a refreshed cooling system, a new battery, and a PCV tune-up. Finally, the engine has received an oil change to keep its lifeblood as clean as possible.

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.
