Used 1962 Ford Thunderbird

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop With their pure, projectile like styling, the third generation 1961-63 Thunderbirds have become known as the Bullet Birds. Somehow, the generations of Ford Thunderbird often manage to inspire nicknames. The original two seat Thunderbirds of 1955-57 are called the Baby Birds. The second generation four-seaters of 1958-60 won the name Square Birds and the third generation 1961-63 Thunderbirds, with their pure, projectile- ike styling, will forever be known as the Bullet Birds. Macsmotorcitygarage.com, 2020 For consignment, a 1962 Ford Thunderbird hardtop with a title verified 148,975 actual miles. Bullet birds, thanks to their sleek design, lend themselves to customizations, like this fully custom car. If owning one of a kind is on your bucket list, this one will do the trick!  Exterior Can't miss Lime Green paint brightens this bird and is augmented by wildly reflective side trim on the custom side spears, hood stripes, and c-pillar trim, all bordered in red. A custom sculpted plate fronts the hood scoop and three velocity stacks face forward from an oval opening. Custom mirrors, bullet fronted door handles and window trim, recessed torpedo tail lights, all part of this feast for the eyes! The grille also features bullet details between dressed headlights and the 15-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels are complex works of art with bullet hubs, reflective inserts, and red line trim on white wall tires. The rears, however, are shrouded by the lime green fender skirt. Finally, faux side pipes add a stretch of chrome to the bottom. The paint, trim, and custom features are in great shape and we could not find any exterior imperfections.  Interior More of that turned metal reflective trim occupies an insert in each door, surrounded by white vinyl panels and a black carpeted lower. White vinyl also covers the bucket seats and rear 2+2. It's bullets galore on the inside where there might be more full metal jacket trim pieces in here than in your gun safe, and these little chrome cones create a reflective sparkle in back and in the front where they sprout on the dash and center console. The rainbow reflecting turned metal trim is everywhere as well, including the steering wheel, accented with lime, and the gauge cluster, also featuring lime rings and buttons under a white dash pad. An AM radio and CD player are present along with added gauges in the center, while black carpet is protected by lime shag mats. Faux black fur is on the headliner with tribble-like fur balls in white and lime scattered throughout. Wild! And more attention to detail with lime rails and LED lights overhead. The trunk is kept relatively conservative with clean black carpeted mats and a spare white wall.  Drivetrain Beautifully customized with lime and white paint plus anodized gold trim, here we have a show quality 390ci V8 with three 2-barrel Holley carburetors over an Edelbrock intake. Behind it resides a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the Ford 9 in back with 3.00 gears.  Undercarriage Spotless and clean underneath, not a surprise! We have dual exhaust that runs through Magnaflow mufflers and terminates under the car. Power drum brakes are at all four wheels and suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in the back. No rust, no oil, no road dirt.   Drive-Ability There are two ways to get instant notice in a car, sound and color and this one brightens up Morgantown the minute it leaves the mall to circle our test loop. The three carbs work together to deliver a smooth ride, and the car sounds nice as it accelerates forward, tracking straight and offering good turn-ins with its low center of gravity. Functionally, the A/C and clock are not working but all other operations do as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be workin
