I just got this 1962 Thunderbird. It was in good shape except for some wear on the chrome. I took it apart and gave it a good cleaning. That really made the plastic color come back to life. One of the unique features of the 1962 T-Birds was the swing away steering wheel. This promo also has a working swing away steering wheel. I believe it is rather rare to have working features on the real dealer promos.

Robert if it helps I found that most parts from the latest released 62 T Birds works with those
