1962 Ford Thunderbird Description

I obtained this body from a man who had a dream of building a show quality black T- bird Roadster but never achieved his goal. He started working on this non-roadster convertible body 20 years ago by stripping the body and repairing any rusted or damaged areas with new metal. The body was put on a rotisserie and the trunk and floors were repaired with new metal welded in. The entire underbody and firewall was then painted gloss black. Some panels still need finishing, but all metal is solid and rust free. The doors, trunk lid & flipper, left front fender and hood have been painted black but nicks and scuffs have been acquired over the years.


The rear axel and springs were reinstalled and the steering box and steering column are in place so it can be moved and steered. However, there is no other hardware, hinges, wiring, glass, interior or drivetrain components included. The hood, trunk lid, flipper and doors were set in place for the photos but are not attached.


The VIN numbers have been obscured in two locations but the numbers are still present and legible in a third so the car may be titled. The original factory gate release accompanies the body which was originally red with a black interior. The body is being sold on a bill of sale with no current registration or title.


The body is located in Northern Wisconsin and transportation is the buyers responsibility. However, I may be able to deliver for an agreed upon fee. A 10% deposit must be received within 48 hours via PayPal.


This would be a great starting point for someone looking to re-body a badly rusted or damaged convertible or roadster as the majority of the body work has already been done. Please feel free to ask questions and I will answer to the best of my ability.


I also have many bullet bird parts available as well as a transferrable registration on a genuine Diamond Blue Sport Roadster title. Please inquire. Thanks!
