1962 FORD THUNDERBIRD SPORTS ROADSTER

This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster with VIN code 89 is one of only 1427 made in 1962. This car came factory equipped with all of the available options including power windows power seat air conditioning power brakes and power steering. This car was part of a nine-episode DIY Channel series on ?Restore My Ride? by Steve Magnante in 2004. It has been completely restored with clear coat rubbed to a beautiful mirror finish. The black and white Corinthian leather was all handmade from leather hides not imitation. Magnante also installed Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake to increase horsepower without altering the stock look. It still retains the factory chrome breather and valve covers as well as its five original 48-spoke Kelsey Hayes wheels. This car has been sitting in showrooms and climate-controlled facilities for most of the last 16 years. Just completed its fresh restoration with less than 100 miles since completion. It started as a rust-free example with all of its original chrome glass and sheet metal.
