Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1963 Ford Thunderbird for
sale. A bullet bird, how cool is this ride! This Thunderbird has a
390ci V-8 with an automatic transmission. The T-bird has a newer
top and the interior has been lifted from the old to the new with
carpet an, seats, and door panels. The newer paint looks very good
and this bullet is ready for the road. During the build, new
brakes, gas tank & lines, transmission serviced, a new Holly
carburetor, driveshaft balanced, trunk mat kit, master cylinders,
power booster, and multiple trim pieces. Heads have been hardened
to accept regular gasoline. This bird comes with a cover, extra
rear bumpers, original heads, carburetor, and fuel pump. All this
work was completed 2012 and with only 535 miles put on the odometer
since the build. The third generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a
personal luxury car produced by Ford for the 1961 to 1963 model
years. It featured new and much sleeker styling than the second
generation models. Sales were strong, if not quite up to
record-breaking 1960, at 73,051 including 10,516 convertibles. A
new, larger 390 cu in 6.4 L FE-series V8 was the only engine
available in 1961. The Thunderbird was 1961's Indianapolis 500 pace
car, and featured prominently in US President John F. Kennedy's
inaugural parade, probably aided by the appointment of Ford
executive Robert McNamara as Secretary of Defense. It shared some
styling cues with the much smaller European Ford Corsair. Changes
for 1963 were relatively mild. Some additions to the option list
included vacuum assisted door locks and an AM/FM radio; an AM radio
and a remote driver's side mirror became standard. Options include:
Power Brakes, AM radio, Hub Caps, Power steering, power top, vinyl
interior, tilt wheel, radial tires, power windows, . To view the
