Today’s AutoHunter Spotlight is on a 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible with only 32,000 miles driven.
Nicknamed the “Bullet Bird” because of the convertible’s projectile-like styling, these 4-seaters include unique details like the side-trim door handles, recessed headlamps, round taillights and blade-like tail fins.

The body is finished in Acapulco Blue Metallic and features a powered white convertible top, chrome bumpers and rear fender skirts.
Matching the exterior, the all-blue interior has vinyl front bucket seats and a rear bench, locking center console, swing-away steering wheel, and chrome trim.
Power comes from the original 390cid V8 engine that was rebuilt in 2019. It’s mated to a 3-speed “Cruise-O-Matic” automatic transmission.
The odometer shows 32,000 miles. The seller notes only 1,000 miles have been added since they purchased the car five years ago. True mileage is unknown.
The auction for this 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible ends April 5 at 11:00 a.m. PDT.

The older T-Birds are such cool cars. My grandmother would get a new one every other year and I loved sitting in them (too young to drive then) wishing it was mine. I finally got my own in 190076, brand new.
