This 1962 Thunderbird Sports Roadster is a true factory build as verified by the 89 in the VIN and the 76B body code on the data tag. The exterior was refinished in the original Rangoon Red (color code J) under previous ownership.

A set of chrome Kelsey-Hayes 48-spoke wheels with 3-spoke chrome spinners is wrapped in new whitewall radial tires.

The front bucket seats, rear seat, head rests, trim, and door panels are upholstered in Pearl Beige leather (trim code 54). Power features include the driver’s seat, windows, steering, and brakes.

The seller reports the power windows are currently not working.

A 120-mph speedometer, clock, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature are located ahead of the driver. The odometer shows 839 miles, which reflects the mileage on the rebuilt engine. The car's true mileage is unknown.
