Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is excited to feature this
wonderful 1963 Ford Thunderbird two-door hardtop for sale right now
in our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. Ford's iconic
offering was now in its eighth year of production and had undergone
significant changes from where things started in 1955. This 1963
Thunderbird falls in the era known as the "Bullet Bird" featuring
beautiful looks that helped buyers envision popular culture at the
time which was obsessed with aircraft in the "Jet Age". You can
certainly see that evidence in the pointed front nose, recessed
headlights, twin round taillights and the sweeping tail fins on
this Corinthian White painted Thunderbird. With just two owners and
51,000 miles traveled from new according to the seller, this 1963
T-Bird comes with its original powertrain- a 390 CID V8 with a
4-barrel carburetor that made an impressive 300hp and 427lb ft of
torque. You can be sure this Big Bird will move out of the way of
itself just fine with those numbers! The "Cruise-O-Matic" 3-speed
automatic transmission moves this Thunderbird smoothly down the
road. The hallmark of early 60's Thunderbirds like this was their
stylish interior with bucket seats and a big center console with
the "swing away" steering wheel as standard. Interior design at
Ford wanted to emphasize and delineate the positions of the driver
and the passenger, which also meant eliminating the glove box for a
more curved look. The beautifully preserved Red vinyl, plenty of
chrome and options like an AM radio, heater controls and
new-for-'63 hydraulic operated wipers are just some of the things
to enjoy on this survivor Thunderbird. This car really is as clean
as it looks and I for one can't wait for the look on the face of
whoever owns this gem next. Could it be you? Give our helpful and
knowledgeable Sales staff a call at (623) 900-4884 for more
