Vehicle Description
The Thunderbird was redesigned in 1961 with a distinct bullet-like
appearance. Along with the big overhaul of the styling, the
Thunderbird came with impressive standard features that would be
expensive options on other automobiles at the time including the
"swing away" steering wheel, power steering, power brakes, back-up
lights, and bucket seats. Another innovation was the "floating
rear-view mirror" which is now the placement of the rear-view on
almost all vehicles today. The Thunderbirds continued their selling
success, and when Ford decided to revive the line in 2002 it was
this generation's styling cues that dominated the modern take on
the popular classic.
This Beautiful 1963 Ford Thunderbird was completely restored in
1999. The car was stripped down and painted, including the engine
and surrounding area. The car was also given a new convertible top.
The Thunderbird was restored to be concours correct and is truly
beautiful. In 2015, the 390 v8 was overhauled and was given new
spark plugs and wires, new pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft and
lifters, timing chain and was bored .030 over. The engine heads
have hardened seats and ground valves. The car also received a new
water pump, fuel pump, thermostat, front and rear brake lines,
radiator hoses, front and rear springs, transmission filter and
gaskets, complete exhaust system, axel bearings and seals along
with pinion seals, fuel sending unit, 5 tires which are still under
warranty and a battery, hood insulation kit, front and rear brakes.
The Thunderbird also received an alignment and had the suspension
sand blasted and painted original colors. The fuel tank was
removed, cleaned and re-installed. The brake booster was also
rebuilt. This beautiful Thunderbird also comes with the original
dash plaque with the original owner's name on it. This Thunderbird
has a tonneau cover.
This car is beautiful in every aspect and is certainly one of the
finest out there! This car is "turn key" ready to go. Consider with
confidence.
