After taking a break for awhile from scanning, and creating new .pdf files of the Thunderbird Illustrated Magazines we inherited, I got back at it yesterday. Thanks to the help I got from our intrepid webmaster, simplyconnected. I just uploaded the latest additions regarding the 1962-1963 "M" Series Bulletbird Roadster. This article is chock full of details and facts regarding this very rare Tbird. Of all the Tbirds, this is probably the rarest of them all. According to this article, there were only 120 "M" 6V (6 Barrel Carbs) Roadsters produced in 1962 and only 37 in 1963! That's it! There were 1,725 "Z" Series 4V (4 Barrel Carbs) Roadsters produced. If you own a Bulletbird Roadster with a 4V carb, your VIN # should start with 2Y89Z (1962) or 3Y89Z (1963). The 6V carb equipped "M" Series Roadster has a VIN # of 2Y89M and 3Y89M.
If you look for a Bulletbird 6V Roadster, make sure the Data Plate shows a VIN # with a M in it and not a Z.... Some creative people have been known to take a 4V "Z" Series Roadster and jazz it up to make it look like a 6V "M" Series Roadster... Buyer beware... I think you will find a lot of excellent information in this article, which is, at present, the last one in the .pdf file. I hope to finish scanning in and uploading the last of the articles in this very last edition of this magazine. You will find the .pdf file in the Technical Resource Library, down under the Books and Magazines section towards the bottom. I hope you enjoy the articles, as there is some great stuff there on our Tbirds that was written back in the mid 70's. When you are looking for particular technical information don't forget to check the Thunderbird Illustrated Magazine articles because there is some terrific information in them regarding working on our Tbirds!
