In 1958 Ford made the decision to radically change the very popular Ford Thunderbird two-seat convertible to a much larger, family-oriented vehicle. The move would prove to be a good business decision; however, it left many motoring enthusiasts longing for the sportier first generation cars. In 1962, Ford produced a limited variant of their sleeker third generation convertible, the Sports Roadster. The 1962 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster models are among the most prized of all Thunderbirds with only 1,427 total examples produced. The package consisted of Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels with knock-off spinners, and most notably a fiberglass tonneau that covers the rear seat to create the two-seat roadster configuration. Of the 1,427 Sports Roadsters produced in 1962, 119 of these were equipped with the desirable M-Code 390-cid, 340-hp V-8 engine with tri-power carburetion and intake.

We are pleased to present this lovely 1962 M-Code Sports Roadster for your consideration. The factory powerplant is mated to an automatic transmission. Options include the M-Code package, power convertible top, chrome wire wheels with spinners, power steering, power brakes and Swing-Away steering column.
