Description
Step into a piece of automotive history with this exceptional 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster, a rare gem with only 1,472 units produced that year. This meticulously preserved classic is presented in its original, unrestored condition, showcasing its striking Chestnut Metallic paint and boasting just over 40,000 miles. Featuring a 390 cubic-inch V8 engine, Cruise-O-Matic transmission, and a host of luxury options like power steering, power brakes, and power windows, this Thunderbird is as smooth to drive as it is stunning to look at. The Sports Roadster is distinguished by its Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, unique badging, and fiberglass tonneau cover, which transforms it into a sleek two-seater. Accompanied by a treasure trove of documentation including the original Ford invoice, window sticker, service records, and even a photograph of the 1963 Albany Tulip Queen, this Thunderbird also comes with a letter from Lee Iacocca. With its rich provenance and striking features, this Thunderbird represents a rare opportunity to own a true classic, cherished by only three owners throughout its lifetime.
