Vehicle Description
Outstanding
1963 Thunderbird
VERY RARE
M-Code Sports Roadster
Show Car
"Thunderbird Sports Roadster production numbered 1,427 units in
1962, but just 455 in 1963, making them rare birds indeed. Even
rarer were Thunderbirds ordered with the monstrous 390-cubic inch
tri-power V-8, which was designated by an M in the VIN; thus
resulting in the nickname of "M-Code" cars. These cars breathed
through a set of three Holley two-barrel carburetors and put out
some 340 horsepower at the crankshaft, which is to say they were
plenty capable of shaming any Corvette-driving challengers."
Ford turned out just 37 M-Code Sports Roadsters in 1963.
There are over 120 pictures of this car in the ad below, including
detailed exterior, interior, engine, trunk and undercarriage.
