One of my favorite cars. They were built on the Lincoln production line to the same standards, and were one of the finest cars of the period. To this day you still see them around once in a while, built with heavy steel and really good quality materials, they weren't known for falling apart. Just the doors weight a ton each, i've done a little restoration work with a friend on his and became very impressed with how well made it was. This roadster is simply elegant and stunning, what a car!
I saw one of these online about a year and a half ago, same exact color except for a black top, same red interior. it had AC and a Mcode engine with three barrel carb, BOY i wished i could of afforded that car ! talk about RARE! I actually thought this was that car.....
I owned a white 62 hardtop, tilt away steering, auto transmission, air conditioning, power windows, powered seats with blue baby pearl leather seats. Fully powered as you would say. I was the second owner and I purchased it 1968. I was in the air force in southern California at the time. She was gorgeous and drove like a dream.
In Texas, we call those the “oh, shit! handle”. When you need it, that’s probably what you are saying. What a beauty! I love the red interior east. Hard to pick just one color. I also love the turquoise, too.
Striking car ... But WHY do these people insist putting non-period-correct, wide white sidewall, pimpmobile, tires on 1960's cars?? Remember.... Just because you can do it, doesn't necessarily mean that you SHOULD do it.

AWESOME VEHICLE.The owner sounds like a great caretaker of the car.

My friend had one
We called it the Batmobile
And of course we called him Batman
Ha! awesome!
It’s gorgeous!
Very nice; I used to own a '62 hardtop with tri-power installed after the original purchase. It had manual windows, too.
I want 1 really bad. All I need now is a little money. Then it's all mine!
If I could have only one Thunderbird. It would be this year's this model in a pearl ivory and yes white walls.
Those wide whitewalls aren't period correct! If it had been a '61 T-bird they would have been.
beeyootiful
Beautiful car
Love it
Shouldn't the side view mirror be round instead of square ?
This is probably one of the few with manual windows.

Unleaded ethanol blend. I'm surprised it ran well at all.
Absolutely gorgeous but the wide whites are incorrect...
Truth.
1 1/2” with the Kelsey Hayes wires.
Those white walls don't do the car any favors.
