This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster is powered by a 390ci V8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox transmitting power to the rear wheels. This 1962 Thunderbird, finished in Rangoon Red and equipped with the Sports Roadster package, underwent a comprehensive ground-up restoration in the 1990s. The restoration included refinishing the chrome and Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, which are adorned with wide whitewall tires. Since then, it has been stored in a climate-controlled facility. The power-actuated black Haartz cloth convertible top folds beneath the fiberglass tonneau cover, revealing 'speedster humps' behind the seats.

Inside the car, black leather adorns the front bucket seats, center console and dashboard. Reflecting the era's Space-Age influence, stainless trim accents the dashboard and center console. Only 1,427 Sport Roadsters were produced in 1962. Accompanying the car is a letter from 'Ms. Thunderbird,' Lois Eminger, to the previous owner, providing information about the car, along with all the original Ford documents. The sale includes the original Window Sticker, restoration paperwork and a photo album documenting the restoration process.
