This exquisite 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is beautifully finished in Chestnut Metallic and has a Factory Early 62 Sports Roadster Tonneau Cover. It is a timelessly beautiful design and 1 of only 9,884 convertibles produced in 1962. Powered by a bullet-proof 390ci V8, developing 300 horses in standard trim, and the smooth Cruise-O-Matic three-speed auto tranny, the open-air T-Bird, with its coil-spring front suspension, was among the best-riding cars of the day. This "Bullet Bird" --as it is known among enthusiasts-- features Ford's trademark big, circular taillights that looked like rockets, razor-sharp tailfins, and tastefully restrained chrome ornamentation. White and Chestnut Metallic interior. Chrome Horn Ring shines bright and clear. It still looks and drives wonderfully some 55 years after being built at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant. Books, Manuals, Records, Receipts. Upgraded Audio (original radio included). Always pampering his pride and joy, the previous owner was not afraid to spend some serious cash to keep the car in prime condition (records and receipts for maintenance and parts included). This fabulous Thunderbird is ready to drive, show, and enjoy for years to come.

One of only 9,884 convertibles produced in 1962, the '62 Thunderbird features a top mechanism that is mesmerizing. Pushing a single switch--located on the door panel--instantly sets the progress in motion. After all is said and done, the convertible top completely disappears beneath the trunk lid. Capable of changing from a sleek, sporty two-passenger convertible to a four-passenger convertible in a matter of minutes, it also has the ability to have the top up or down with or without the fiberglass Tonneau Cover in place. Combined with the fiberglass tonneau cover, the '62 T-Bird featured the longest rear deck in the industry. The bodywork has survived in fantastic condition, without any dents or scrapes; the paint looks very smooth and glossy. The white convertible top is in excellent condition; there are no rips or tears and the large plastic rear window is clear.

Reminiscent of a spaceship's cockpit, the T-Bird's dash wraps around driver and passenger; a curved console, clad with anodized aluminum smoothly merges with the dashboard. Very comfortable, White front bucket seats feature original upholstery in wonderfully appealing condition. Remove the Roadster's tonneau cover--it takes less than two minutes--and you'll find a perfectly preserved rear seat, large enough to transport three adults in utter comfort and style.

The third generation of the Ford Thunderbird, 1961 to 1963 model years, featured new and much sleeker styling than preceding models. The Thunderbird for 1961 introduced several firsts for the automotive market. The most distinctive feature of the 1961 to 1963 Thunderbirds was the highly touted 'Swing Away' steering wheel. With the transmission in the park position the steering wheel would slide approximately 18" to allow the driver to exit the vehicle more easily. Other innovations include a floating rear view mirror. Common on all autos produced today, this feature was first found on 1961 Thunderbirds. Several standard features, like power steering and power brakes, back up lights and bucket seats were costly options on most other autos. There's never been anything else quite like them.

Back in the day, the Thunderbird Sports Roadster was a sensation. Its spaceship theme beautifully executed throughout, it looked like it had just escaped from a science fiction magazine. Today, our senses are bedazzled by automobile creations attempting to crossover in as many directions as possible. We can neither feel passion nor motivation to own one of those. Give us a "Bullet Bird" any day!
