1962 Ford Thunderbird Coupe M-Code

This Ford Thunderbird hardtop coupe is one of less than 150 reportedly produced with an M-code 390ci V8 with three two-barrel carburetors mated to a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Subsequent work has reportedly included rebuilding the engine, servicing the transmission, overhauling the air conditioning system, and replacing the coil springs, leaf springs, and shocks. The 14â?³ chrome-finished wire wheels wear spinner-style caps and are mounted with a mix of 215/75 American Classic and Hankook thin-whitewall tires. The car came equipped from the factory with power steering, and stopping power is provided by power-assisted drum brakes at each corner. The manually adjustable front seats and a rear bench are upholstered in light beige crinkle vinyl, and stainless steel trim accents the console, instrument panel, door panels, and rear quarter trim panels. Amenities include power windows, lap belts, an AM radio, SelectAire air conditioning, and a center console. A mobile phone mount is affixed to the center console. The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a swing-away column and frames a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a single combination gauge for fuel level and coolant temperature. The M-code 390ci V8 is fitted with a trio of two-barrel carburetors and was factory-rated at 340 horsepower. The engine was reportedly rebuilt in 2024, and a replacement alternator was installed.
