THIS 1963 THUNDERBIRD IS ONE OF 27 (1.46%) REGISTERED WITH THIS INTERIOR AND THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COLOR EXTERIOR!! VERY RARE!!!
This Thunderbird has just undergone a bumper to bumper going over by a retired Ford mechanic. He changed the rear end seal, transmission pan seal, oil pan seal and the power steering seal. He also changed the gas tank, sending unit, gauge, gas line and filter. He performed a tune-up. He replaced the brake line and the brakes have been replaced on all four corners. New tail light buckets on both sides. New right rear "Q" bumper piece due to a smaller than pea sized rust hole in it. Speedometer cable and gear have been changed.
Both inner tie rods have been changed. Thermostat has been changed. Both exhaust donuts have been changed and the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket.
The car has a RARE #77 turquoise pleated cloth and vinyl interior. Most of the 1963 Thunderbirds have all vinyl interiors. The correct new interior has just been completed in November by an installer who had a car in the GoodGuys top 5. The correct turq. cloth; new correct turq. vinyl and new silver welting were used and purchased from SMS. Also the foam pads for the front bucket seats, front seat belts with anchors, new carpet from ACC and under carpet padding/silencing materials were installed. The photos are of the OLD INTERIOR. Other miscellaneous items included are: gold spray paint to repaint the air cleaner, under hood sticker set and battery tie down kit.
I have a binder with a lot of documentation which includes: original window sticker, original owner's manual, new owner's manual, registration cards from each of the owners (1965, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 75 and my two) I have various other South Dakota inspection cards as well. I am the 4th owner from all that I could find. I have the receipts for the about $4000 of materials I have put into the car in the last year and a half.
I am selling the car due to my disability and recent surgery in August 2018 have made it such that I cannot do any work on the car myself.
