This 1962 Ford Thunderbird hardtop has been thoughtfully refreshed here in our shop to be a classic you can truly enjoy. Under the hood is a brand-new 390 cubic-inch V8, paired with new 3-inch shorty headers and a new exhaust system. The original Cruise-O-Matic transmission has been retained, resealed, and filled with fresh fluid. Supporting it is a suspension that's been rebuilt with new adjustable coilovers in the front, new leaf springs and shocks in the rear, and the car now rides on new tires. Other recent updates include a new starter and the addition of modern air conditioning, making this Thunderbird as dependable and comfortable as it is stylish.
The car retains its original character, with a 3.00-geared rear end and traditional four-wheel drum brakes. It remains every bit the early '60s cruiser, but with renewed drivability and confidence.
Finished in black with a bright red interior, this Thunderbird embodies the bold style of its era. The interior presents well, with its sweeping dash and brightwork framing a cabin that feels more like a lounge than a car. Out back, the iconic afterburner taillights remain one of the most memorable features of the model. Adding a unique touch of history, this car still wears an original Kennedy for President campaign sticker in the rear window.
This Thunderbird is equal parts style, history, and usability - a personal luxury car designed for effortless cruising, now updated to be enjoyed without hesitation.
