For Sale: 1963 Ford Thunderbird in O'Fallon, Illinois

Ladies and Gentlemen prepare for takeoff! Gateway Classic Cars in Kansas City will prepare you to take flight in this fantastic Aero inspired 1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible! Not many cars that rolled down North American production lines during the 1960s came with more presence and character than a 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird. Huge pointed fins were by this time well past their prime but new gimmicks were tumbling off drawing boards all across Motown. Buick was fiddling with hidden headlights for its Riviera, Lincoln had already brought back the 'suicide' door and the frumpy 1958-60 Thunderbird was about to be replaced by a car that looked ready for the launch pad at NASA. Nicknamed 'Big Bird' when new but retrospectively dubbed ' Batmobile', these T-Birds won no awards for elegance but their ability to turn heads was undeniable. Our gorgeous Houey Beige exterior with Houey Beige interior '63 has the presence of an unmolested survivor! Inside and out this beauty really makes a statement of originality! Slide into the cockpit and the entire steering column swings away to make room for the pilot. Turn the key to ignition and a very strong running 390 cubic inch Ford powerplant roars to life. This bird is ready to take flight once the cruise-o-matic transmission selector is place in D position. And not only is this awesome bird powerful, creature-comforts are included such as power brakes, power steering, AM radio, and power convertible top! The power convertible top functioning is a show in itself! Press the automatic top button and the top disappears into the huge opening trunk deck lid! Plus, this classy Thunderbird has recently been enhanced via several mechanical upgrades. All you need to do it buckle in and take off!
