🧰 Description Overview
This is a running and driving example that would benefit from cosmetic and minor mechanical freshening. The paint shows a charming, natural patina developed over decades of use, with a few areas that could respond well to professional paint correction. There are also some minor dents and dings consistent with age.
The convertible top mechanism functions properly, though the fabric itself is due for replacement. Inside, several original features remain operational, including the power windows, AM radio, and power seat. The air conditioning system is currently not functioning.
We have noted some fluid leaks and an exhaust leak, though overall the car remains in solid, usable condition. It presents a great opportunity for someone looking to enjoy a classic Thunderbird as-is while improving it over time.
🏁 Summary
A classic 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible powered by a 390ci V8, offering iconic styling and open-top cruising. Running and driving with honest patina, it provides an excellent foundation for light restoration or continued enjoyment as a vintage driver.
