1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster

One of just 1,427 Sports Roadsters produced in 1962, this Thunderbird combines striking “jet-age” styling with a rare factory two-seat Sports Roadster configuration. Finished in Rangoon Red over a black interior, it is powered by the 390ci V8 rated at 300 hp, paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic and a 3.00:1 rear axle.

The Sports Roadster package includes a fiberglass tonneau cover, transforming the rear seating area into a sleek two-seat layout, along with a passenger grab bar, unique badging, and Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels. Classic Thunderbird details include chrome bumpers, fender skirts, and dual mirrors, all complemented by a tan convertible top that stows neatly beneath the removable body-colored boot.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in black vinyl with matching carpets and door panels. Amenities include power windows, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a push-button AM radio, and a center console — all period-correct and in great condition.

The odometer shows 68,713 miles, believed to be original, reflecting careful ownership and preservation. This Thunderbird is offered complete with its tonneau cover, convertible boot, and clean title, making it an exceptional opportunity for collectors seeking a rare, highly original early-’60s Ford classic.

With its low production numbers, distinctive styling, and well-preserved presentation, this 1962 Thunderbird Sports Roadster is a standout example of one of the most celebrated American personal luxury cars of the era.
