Hello again everyone, If you're a potential bidder or just watching, you are probably aware of how rare this car is. Ford built 78011 Thunderbirds in 1962. Of those, only 1427 were Sport Roadsters. It's easy for people to add the Sport Roadster parts to a regular convertible and try to pass it off as a Sport Roadster, however this one is genuine, as can be seen on the build sheet (photo #81). The build sheet will accompany the car as well as the other documentation that is presented here. Again, please feel free to ask questions or contact us to see the car in person. Thank you.
