Vehicle Description
Big V8 power, a cool color combo, and the overall pleasure of
driving a true executive-level classic makes this 1963 Ford
Thunderbird Landau special. And its value price makes it
irresistible.
Ford never had a color like this silver metallic available for the
1963 car, but now that you see this one, you know they probably
should have. After all, there's no better way to show off a
sophisticated coupe than with a color that has a deep tone and
plenty of shine. It also coordinates nicely with the black vinyl
roof with special Landau design and trim. And don't forget that the
Landau model was its own body style that was more expensive and
rarer than the standard coupe. And we also know you love this for
the 3rd-gen T-bird's distinct design. It's a detail-oriented look
where the chrome front end is a cohesive piece with the
grille/bumper meets the hood at a decisive tip. The door handles
are integrated into the side trim, and you even have fender skirts
to make the sides look extra-sleek. And it all ends in taillights
that look like a jet fighter's afterburners. So you want one that
is complete as this example, right down to the correct wheel
covers.
The two-tone black and gray interior makes for an attractively
cohesive look with the colors of the exterior. And we especially
like the seats. Not only does everyone get individual-style
bolstering (including the rear) but also they have a clean and
fresh look, right down to the Thunderbird logos in the seatbacks.
And the wood-like trim that flows from the doors, onto the dash,
and then down to the console is a terrific classic luxury touch.
The factory steering wheel has an artful design, and the round
gauges have an elegant look with each in their own pod. There are
comfort features such as power windows (rear ones may need
servicing.) There is room for improvement on this car. You may want
to redo the lower door panels, update the vinyl top, or convert the
factory air conditioning to get it blowing cold again. But the
value price means you get a complete and sharp coupe today, and it
leaves room in the budget to give you the choice for how and when
you want to add your personal touch.
Under the hood is plenty of proper Ford power. The 390 cubic-inch
V8 is believed to be original to the car, but you can also see some
nice investments in keeping it looking good. The bold blue block,
shining pewter air grabber, and matching Thunderbird valve covers
really make this stand out. And the way this one fires up readily
verifies proper maintenance. The four-barrel carburetor on top
means the V8 inhales deeply to let this cruiser hit the town with
ease. This nice driving attitude also comes from the Cruise-O-Matic
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes.
This is a beautiful T-Bird with a standout presence. So you need to
hurry because complete classic style might never be this affordable
again. Call today!!!
