This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau for sale currently resides in Flemington, New Jersey.

Our Co-Founder Rudy has been working on this car and here is his take:

I spent the better part of three full days bringing this Thunderbird Landau back from its estimated five-year in the long time owner’s garage.  The trim tag confirms the car is a genuine Landau model in the original color combination. The deceased owner commissioned a repaint along with a correct vinyl top replacement approximately ten years ago.

This 1962 Thunderbird Landau is a nicely optioned example featuring power steering, power brakes, power windows and a driver’s power seat.  The trim confirms the car left the Wixom factory with a black leather interior.

To get the car operable again, I had to replace the fuel pump and cleared the unit’s supply line,  The car now starts right up and idles nicely. Unfortunately, the car does not have good brakes at this time, so buyers will need to plan to trailer the car to their desired destination.

What impresses me most about the car is that it is a solid example with no signs of rust,  I rate the paint job as better than driver quality. In addition to the brakes, buyers will need to replace what appears to be a sticking thermostat.

This is a complete car that will make an easy project that someone can complete quickly and enjoy the balance of the summer and the fall. Please review my 90-point Pre-Purchase Inspection (“PPI) and videos to get a better handle on this project car.
