Vehicle Description
Art & Speed is proud to offer this beautiful 1963 Ford Thunderbird
Convertible dressed in classic Rangoon Red over black. The older
refinish presents smooth and bright with only a few minor
indicators that it is not brand new. A "one-car-parade", this
Thunderbird is the last year for the sleek 'Bullet' design and is
favored by many. Upgrades include Kelsey Hayes style chrome wire
wheels, factory fender skirts, and the rare color matched Sports
Roadster fiberglass tonneau cover.
This red beauty is powered by Ford's 330hp, 390ci "Z code"
Thunderbird V8, paired with the 3-speed "Cruise-O-Matic" automatic
transmission. A Holley 4-barrel carburetor disperses the fuel.
Power steering, power brakes, and optional "Swing-Away" tilt
steering column make this a luxurious ride all around. The custom
"Thunderbird Roadster" Tonneau cover converts the four place black
bucket seat interior into a two-seater, mimicking the earliest
Thunderbirds. Two seats or four, the interior in this car is in
amazing condition. The metal finished dashboard is in a condition
far superior to most of the Thunderbirds you see from this era.
The space-age interior design features elegant chrome accents and
spherical instruments, all in good condition, mimicking the space
age aesthetic that is evident throughout the design. On the
outside, beautiful chrome and brightwork show off the bright
Rangoon finish. Factory fender skirts are included and can be
installed when that long, low and elegant look is preferred over
the sporty look.
This Thunderbird has is a combination of well preserved original
and tastefully restored components, making it an attention getter
wherever you go. And the electric retractable top works as it
should! Top up or down, this car is striking.

beautiful example of the classic "Bullet Bird".
