Today, with their projectile-like “Jet Age” styling and brawny 390 CI V-8 powerplants, these sleek Thunderbirds continue to rank among the most desirable and collectible Thunderbird models ever produced. In refreshing contrast to so many surviving Thunderbird Sports Roadsters with restorations of varying quality, this example from 1962 is offered in highly original condition and features an eye-catching color combination of white over red upholstery, with the adventurous twin-pod interior treatment reminiscent of aircraft cockpits. Ample power is delivered by a 390/300 HP “Thunderbird” V-8 engine mated to an automatic transmission, and cruising ease is enhanced by power brakes and power steering. Desirable passenger amenities include power windows, a power convertible top, and the Thunderbird’s innovative swing-away steering wheel for ease of entry and exit. With so few produced, these sporty and forward-looking Thunderbirds are immensely collectible and enjoyable today, making this example a compelling find.
