With a jumping bass and off-beat syncopation, this is straight from Memphis' Beale Street. The Hammond organ and electric guitar play together as longtime friends, while the melody changes hands from guitar to organ to electric piano. 011

This is definitely a nice example. Thanks for checking it out my friend.

Beautiful! I loved the older T-Bids that had the sports package with the roadster tonneau! It made for a beautiful 2-seater that you could easily open up to carry additional passengers. Practical 2-seater for the family man!

The tonneau cover is definitely what makes it so cool. Thanks for checking it out!

$40K, man someone scored on that! Those cars were built like tanks, too, they really last. Best 60's body style for the 'Bird, the space age at it's finest.

When I was growing up, my best friend's father had a 65' TBird, he totaled it, then bought a 66', I had the opportunity to drive it once, that thing had so much power, if you touched the gas pedal too much, you lit up the back tires...I also remember having a plastic model of a 64' TBird...I love that body style. Love your videos!

[RamblinAround]

It really is a beauty. Thanks for checking it out!

I'll bet it does look great in black. Thanks for taking a look at this one.

I am in total awe and love with this model. This model was used in the 60's movie, Palm Springs Weekend. Cruising down Highway 111 to Palm Springs. What a looker.

Other than the 1961-62 high performance engines with which were rated at 375 (1 X 4 Bbl) and 401 HP (3 X 2 Bbl), this was the most powerful 390 ever made. It put out 340 HP (3 X 2 Bbl) and was used in 1962 and 1963 and only in this very special version of the Thunderbird, the Sports Roadster. It was a nice effort but the car didn't really have the brakes and suspension that the extra power demanded to make a nice package.

Long ago I named the 61-63 T-birds 'Banana Birds' because that's what they looked at from the sides.

62 Thunderbird Roadster might be the prettiest car Ford ever put out.

[RamblinAround]

Yep, this would be a great summer cruiser. Thanks for watching!

[RamblinAround]

Glad it brought back some memories for you. It really is a great car. I'm sure it has plenty of power with that tri-power set up on there.
