The early 1960s marked a golden era for personal luxury
automobiles, and few cars captured that spirit better than Ford's
iconic Thunderbird. Offered here is a striking 1963 Ford
Thunderbird Convertible that combines elegant styling, desirable
factory equipment, extensive recent investment, and one of the most
sought-after options available on a third-generation Thunderbird.
Finished in its factory H-Code Caspian Blue Poly and complemented
by a beautiful Light Blue and White interior, this Thunderbird
presents as an exceptionally attractive example of Ford's legendary
personal luxury convertible.
What immediately sets this Thunderbird apart is the rare Sports
Roadster package. Introduced to give the Thunderbird a more
sporting appearance, the package featured a removable fiberglass
tonneau cover that concealed the rear seating area and transformed
the car's profile into that of a sleek two-seat roadster. Today,
Sports Roadster-equipped Thunderbirds remain among the most
desirable examples of the model, combining luxury and comfort with
a unique appearance that continues to draw attention wherever it
goes.
Under the hood resides Ford's proven 390 cubic-inch FE-series V8
engine, factory rated at 300 horsepower. Power is delivered through
the dependable Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission,
creating a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. The car is
equipped with power steering, power brakes, and front disc brakes,
making it remarkably comfortable and easy to drive even by modern
standards.
The factory Caspian Blue Poly finish is one of the most attractive
colors offered on the Thunderbird and complements the car's
sculpted body lines beautifully. Chrome wire wheels wrapped in wide
whitewall tires complete the classic luxury appearance and give the
car the unmistakable presence expected from a premium American
convertible of the era.
Inside, the Light Blue and White interior provides a bright and
inviting environment that perfectly matches the exterior color
combination. The cabin features the desirable Swing-Away Steering
Wheel, one of the Thunderbird's most innovative and memorable
options. Additional features include power windows and a
retro-style AM/FM radio that blends vintage appearance with modern
listening convenience.
Perhaps most importantly, this Thunderbird has benefited from
substantial recent investment by its previous owner. Since December
of 2025, over $40,000 has reportedly been invested into the
vehicle, with receipts included to document the work performed.
Significant attention was devoted to the convertible top system,
which has been completely serviced with new hydraulic rams and
updated electronics. Anyone familiar with these cars understands
the value of having this work completed properly, and the included
documentation helps support the investment made.
The car is reported to have a solid undercarriage and presents as a
vehicle that has clearly been cared for and maintained. It starts
easily, runs strong, and drives exceptionally well, delivering the
smooth road manners that made these Thunderbirds so popular when
new.
Combining its factory H-Code Caspian Blue Poly finish, rare Sports
Roadster package, desirable color combination, 390 FE V8, extensive
recent mechanical investment, and included service records, this
1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible represents an outstanding
opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive personal luxury
cars of the 1960s. With over $40,000 recently invested and a fully
serviced convertible top system, it is a car that is ready to be
enjoyed by its next caretaker.
