Love the T-Bird. My dad owned a 62 When I was a teen. It had the original 390 with a 4 barrel carb. Watching you guys work on those drum brakes sure brought back some memories. Can’t wait to see her with a good buff and waxing.
A car with attitude....Saved by your warm climate and no road salt ever...That and heavy gauge sheet metal bodywork from the 1960s...Loved it...🤔🤔😳😏😏😀😀😀🇬🇧
Warm climate is good for the metal but you should see what it does to interiors unless a car is garaged constantly! And yes, cars of that era had thicker sheet metal but factory rustproofing was in its infancy, it wasn't unusual for a car in a northern climate where salt was used on the roads in winter to be a rusted-out hulk within five years.
I owned a 62 Thunderbird that looked exactly as your car here to the "T". Except for the windows, they were powered windows. I purchased it back in 1968 while I was stationed in the Air Force in southern California. It drove and it had a wonderful ride. It was certainly a beautiful car.
@@mesckoOur first Ford big block was a 1961 Galaxy with a FE 352. we bought it new it was red. I took my girlfriend to the prom in it. I have a picture of it with me all dressed up for the event.
@@jhermelmorris3783 Chevy had a big block in 1958 it was 348 ci and the 409 was an option the were both dogs as it was originally a truck motor. I ow ned a 1957 Merc with the turnpike cruiser engine 364 ci. It would blow any Chevy off the road the only thing it couldn't go past was a gas station. It got about 8 mpg.
The 61-63 birds are my favorite. White walls, fender skirts, it don't get much better. Such a classic design. This is better than a Ferrari. Stinking mice ain't got no respect.
You guys knocked it out of the park with that old lady. It's remarkable how overall good condition it's in, and like some of the other vintage Ford's from your channel, it almost seems like the car was sitting waiting for you. That car has buckets of character, and I wish cars were made like this still. The 428 sounds fantastic, and I would imagine it's got torque for days. Solid revival as always!
This is one of the nicest cars I have ever seen you resurrect. This and the Porsche are your "crown jewels". Thank you so much for making these fun videos!! Keep up the great work!!!
The T-bird is every much a classic as the 911T. I also love the Galaxy 500. That covers three days of the week. Need to see the Mark III in the shop. You are working your way into the coolest collection of good ole daily drivers on UA-cam.
I am so jealous. I have followed you from the begining. That you guys have found, rehabed, driven and now own all those wonderful cars, that myself and others, could only dream of having. Well done.
So true, I remember buying ,crawling under and working on these Classic cars. Also wish I still had some of them, and wish I was 35 years younger. To much technology in the crap we drive today. Simpler was better.
You guys did a superb job of bringing this old girl back to life! Really enjoy the respect and love you put in to these projects. Takes me back to my brother and I working on cars with our dad. Thanks!
Omg, you just brought back a lot of memories to me with this T-Bird rescue! Back in the early 60's, my Mother drove a 62 Thunderbird similar to this! I was just a kid then, but I knew that that car was awesome!! Thanks for bringing back some great memories!!!
Lou Costabile talks about his 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible with a 406 and how rare the engine is for that year. I wonder how many 428 engines they made that year.
I think the answer is NONE. Unless someone has changed it, it’s a 390. Looks like someone has removed the air conditioning and added some aftermarket chrome stuff and air cleaner so it’s quite possible the engine isn’t original.
What a beautiful car with a great engine. Wow ! ! ! I wish I could give you guys a hand. You've got a keeper there. Good luck with the beautiful bird., and that great 428.
I love this car. My mom had one very similar to it. It was a luxury car. I don't know which engine, but I do remember I could beat anyone because it was so quiet, they never guessed the power it had.
I remember those 60 Thunderbirds when I was very young. Our neighbor had a couple of them. Northern California redwoods. It was a very light yellow T-Bird.. who won a move to Southern California back in 68 my aunt had one her ghost has 63 cream color. Her nothing just floated down the highway . And now. I live in the middle of the state. And I have a 02 black on black triple black T-Bird.😊😎👍🏽🤙🏾🎸🙋🏽♂️😎.
I love this old car! My favorite T-birds are the Squarebirds and the Bulletbirds. I was thinking I wouldn't mind having the '62 Fairlane but I changed my mind!
Again, love what you guy's do. Bringing these graceful lady's back to life and showing that old school cars are still the most pleasing to look at and see rumbling down the road the way they do. Great job team.
I see a lot of revivals of popular cars on youtube like mustangs, camaro’s etc… If u ask me, i like this revivals a lot more. Its new for me 🙂 So keep doing ur thing with ur dad to 👍 Grtz from Belgium ✌️
Hey guys, another great job. 👍 Question for ya... at 22:01 you use a spray "brightener" on the grille, and it did a bang-up job on the metalwork, what product is it that ur using? That's a pink Maguire's spray bottle, but is that what's in the bottle or is it another product/brand and ur jus re-using an old Maguire's spray bottle? I was very impressed with the results and wanna try the same product on my metalwork on a project I'm working on. Thanks for ur time, keep up the great work guys! 😎
I loved watching this episode that you restored the 1962 T Bird. As a young teenager back in 1968 ; a family member had one of these and I was so thrilled when he took me for a ride in it. He sadly died the next year on an oil derrick job. in Wyoming. Your show brought back memories of him. Thanks so much for sharing.
behind ur Porsche thats the best car u've owned and rescued 👍👊🥰🍾🥃much love from the UK. Always use silicone tyre glue on the outter layer of the fake white walls they always sag after a few months (i learnt this the hard way)
Nice job! Another great save. I love the cars made in 1962. This and the 62 Galaxie are my favorite Fords.. I'm more of a GM and MOPAR fan. Definitely wanna see more on this car.
My vw Touareg 3.0 tdi . The drive belt squealed a lot so swapped it for new . It still squealed . So took it back off and sprayed it with Gates drive belt dressing . Instant cure . I know my car is from Germany . But this stuff helps stop belts slipping and squealing . Love the Thunderbird. She sound dirty . I live in the uk but love the sound of American V8s . Kind regards . Martin UK . X
I love what you did with this car. The only thing I don't like is the white wall tires. I think it is because they don't match the paint. Thanks for rescuing these old beauties.
What a Beauty
The old girl sounds great, love an old fe motor
Brother you are so lucky .
Love the T-Bird. My dad owned a 62 When I was a teen. It had the original 390 with a 4 barrel carb. Watching you guys work on those drum brakes sure brought back some memories. Can’t wait to see her with a good buff and waxing.
The good old days. When you could rebuild anything... even a brake booster

Beautiful
What a beautiful car. I miss my T Bird
Love that big block rumble, no one did it better than Ford. 😎 🏁
Thinkin' the same thing, we had a '64 Country Sedan when I was a kid and my first car was a '64 XL hardtop with a 390, miss that FE sound.

This guy is a genius!! 👏👏👏 Bird lover here!
I am from Russia and I would like to say that your classic cars are the limit of perfection for me, good luck and all the best

I am so jealous. I have followed you from the begining. That you guys have found, rehabed, driven and now own all those wonderful cars, that myself and others, could only dream of having. Well done.
It is a joy to watch you guys actually repair something and not just replace a part. The Thunderbird looks splendid. Congratulations.
That is now one sweet Banana-Bird.
Sweet Bird, you guys did a nice clean up on the old girl and she is looking and sounding good. Keep up the good work and thanks for the videos.
I love the 1961 to 1963 Birds. My brother-in-law won a 1961 Bird back then. Your 1962 is a keeper. Enjoy it.
That car is you perfect for the family to go cruising 💟
Beautiful beautiful car ......well done gents ... :) ...👍👍👍👍
That is a beautiful car. You guys did a great job getting it back on the road where it belongs.👌
I agree Craig!
I love those old Tbirds. Style beyond compare.
So true, I remember buying ,crawling under and working on these Classic cars.
Also wish I still had some of them, and wish I was 35 years younger.
To much technology in the crap we drive today.
Simpler was better.

Fantastic work..... Absolutamente Precioso y Bellísimo. From Barcelona (Spain)
The wheels and tires look awesome. I had never seen fake whitewalls like those before. How cool
I love this car. My mom had one very similar to it. It was a luxury car. I don't know which engine, but I do remember I could beat anyone because it was so quiet, they never guessed the power it had.
Love them old thunderbirds. I had a 1966 with a 390 in it loved that old car. Unfortunately I lost it in a divorce. Wish I had it back. Great video.
Gordan Lightfoot has some good music. Keep that.
She was born same year as me. Awesomeness!

I agree Gary, love.....that sound!
Again, love what you guy's do. Bringing these graceful lady's back to life and showing that old school cars are still the most pleasing to look at and see rumbling down the road the way they do. Great job team.
Those 62’s look nice together, T-Bird and Baby T-Bird, that’s what they called the Fairlane back in the day. 👍👍👍
I love the 62 TBirds had one myself until it was stolen and wrecked. One day, I will have another one.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support Shane! 😊

Hi Mike and his Dad nice video 📹 and workmanship the car is sweet
The tire and hub combination look so good
Very cool!!
behind ur Porsche thats the best car u've owned and rescued 👍👊🥰🍾🥃much love from the UK.
Always use silicone tyre glue on the outter layer of the fake white walls they always sag after a few months (i learnt this the hard way)
Very nice car, Thanks Son & Dad for restoring.
What a beautiful old bird!
Nice job! Another great save. I love the cars made in 1962. This and the 62 Galaxie are my favorite Fords.. I'm more of a GM and MOPAR fan. Definitely wanna see more on this car.
My vw Touareg 3.0 tdi .
The drive belt squealed a lot so swapped it for new . It still squealed .
So took it back off and sprayed it with Gates drive belt dressing .
Instant cure .
I know my car is from Germany .
But this stuff helps stop belts slipping and squealing .
Love the Thunderbird. She sound dirty .
I live in the uk but love the sound of American V8s .
Kind regards .

Nice Bird... I restored a 62 Bird about 20 years ago. Red with white and gold interior, 390 and no AC. Very nice driving car when set up correctly.
I love what you did with this car. The only thing I don't like is the white wall tires. I think it is because they don't match the paint. Thanks for rescuing these old beauties.
Saving a piece of history. Love the video and the way you and your dad get along so well
One of the nicest looking cars to have ever come off a motor vehicle production line!
This Guy is just AWESOME he breaks it down to the itty bitty piece
Love that Gulf Oil hat you wear. Car is awesome !
