The optioned 1964 vehicles were either factory ordered or dealer installed. The 19 Sports Roadsters were identified by unique VIN numbers, but the limited number of 1964 versions were not. Ford's records provide the following information only 1427 made in ’62, only 455 made in ’63 and a mere 50 made in ’64. The Sports Roadster package while immensely beautiful was slow-selling due the extremely high price of the package. The Sports Roadster included 48-spoke Kelsey Hayes-designed wire wheels and a special fiberglass tonneau cover for the rear seats which gave the car the appearance of a two-seat roadster reminiscent of original Thunderbird. A very, very limited number were completed in 1964 on the heavily revised fourth generation platform believed to have only built 50 units this is an true example of that limited series. Ford produced them on their third generation vehicles in model years, 19. The rarest of all Thunderbird variants is the Sport Roadsters. We will consider any interesting trades or offers.
