Enhanced V8 power, a power-optioned interior, and cool details like
the Sports Roadster style profile, make this 1963 Ford Thunderbird
convertible a sleek machine with a ton of classic cruiser
appeal.
The bullet-nose birds are a true styling marvel. These
third-generation cars had awesome styling touches. It includes the
crisp trim line that starts in front of the headlights, runs the
full length of the body (expertly integrating the door handles,)
and not stopping until it reaches the afterburner-style taillights.
Plus, you have real wire wheels, a distinct grille, hood scoop
trim, and a shining chrome front bumper that's an integral part of
the styling. Because this is a T-Bird for the bold, it was also
upgraded to bold red paint later in life. It still gives off quite
a nice shine today that loves to highlight the sharp angles of the
super-straight body.
The black roof is a newer update, and so it has a nice style that
has a tasteful contrast against the red. And if you like the way
this looks, you'll be happy to get the same appealing combo with
the top down. In fact, since there was a recent investment in the
upholstery and dash pad, we imagine you'll really want to share
this with the world. It's not a full sea of darkness, because these
Thunderbirds also come with a terrific wraparound bright trim
package that encapsulates you and even helps form the center
console. There are great classic features, like the stylish/grippy
steering wheel and artful full gauge package with working clock.
And there are well-integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM
digital tuner. You also get power windows and a power convertible
top, which will need service to work properly, so that you never
have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a
wind-in-your-hair-experience. But since this car is for the bold,
you may want to take a little extra time setting up your top-down
style. This one comes with a hard tonneu cover to give it a similar
profile to the ultra-rare Sports Roadster whenever you want.
The engine bay has a tidy appearance for Ford's large 390
cubic-inch V8. At first glance it looks quite vintage with the big
and correct air grabber on top. But as you dig a little deeper,
you'll discover a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake,
a new distributor, new alternator, a new master cylinder, and
plenty more investments in power and reliability. So the big V8
fires up nicely with an authoritative hum out of the dual exhaust
that seems perfect for this mature T-Bird. The three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes all work
in harmony to help keep the ride Thunderbird-level luxurious.
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance receipts, this is the
feature-filled and powerful T-bird made for the bold. Don't miss
