1962 Ford Thunderbird Corinthian White Convertible

This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster is one of 120 equipped with the M-code 390 6V engine. It’s also a factory A/C car. According to the selling dealer, “The three two-barrel carburetors have just been completely rebuilt, dialed in to perfection, and the car runs like a champ.” He adds that he is “willing to do a restoration contract, to bring the Thunderbird to show quality, if the buyer would want that.”
