The exterior is enhanced by the factory stainless trim on top of the fenders and doors, front grille that is loaded with chrome, landau side emblems, and the famous rear taillight chrome "Q's". The white landau top is also in excellent condition. All the exterior trim and chrome has either been replaced or rechromed. The Ragoon Red exterior is in excellent condition. This T-bird runs and drives just as should with no excuses. Ease of driving is enhanced by the power brakes and power steering.

It is powered by the sought after Ford 390 Cu In V8 and backed by the automatic transmission. This particular 1963 Ford Thunderbird has received a highly detailed nut and bolt restoration. 2 new features found on the 1963 Thunderbird were the change from a generator to alternator and the added optional AM/FM stereo. In 1963, the Thunderbirds received a new horizontal styling line that ran across the front fenders and doors, 3 vertical trim pieces on the doors, and a new front grille that enhanced the already popular body style. They were rightfully named after the bullet-like body styling. This body style was produced for 3 years from 1961 through 1963. Within the Thunderbird line-up, the "Bullet Birds" continue to increase in collectability. The Thunderbird has always been one of the flagships for Ford Motor Company and is still one of the more sought after models. *Highly detailed nut and bolt restoration This car really presents itself like beauty queen.Highly detailed restoration, and very well optioned 1963 Ford Thunderbird With the optional roadster package it was even more outstanding then and more so today. There was nothing else designed like this car or featured retractable top or a swing away steering wheel. Recent shocks, tailpipes with resonators and fuel tank. UNDERSIDE: The floors were restored, all metal. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Very nice and orderly. Radiator support is paint, has caution sticker and rubber flap.īottom side of the hood is painted satin black and has the insulations. Motor has a clean coat of black paint, valve govers and air cleaner are the correct light gold. MOTOR COMPARTMENT: Very nice first impression. The lights in the doors work, dash pad was installed properly and fits right, seats are plump and fit tight as a drum. Really, inside this car is exceptionally nice throughout- the mirror, gauges, steering wheel etc. Has red seat belts and reproduction floormats. The aluminum and chrome sparkle inside too. The upholstery has a cool design with actual chrome logos and silver piping. It is a great design with sporty center console, unique swing away wheel and plenty of chrome. INTERIOR: The inside is also very sharp looking. With a flip of one switch the lid opens, top folds inside and lid closes. The Kelsey Hayes wire wheels sparkle and they have red Thunderbird spinners. All of the trim and chrome sparkles- bumpers, grill, stainless trim etc. The paint is highly polished right to the bottom. It does not interfere with the top at all. The tonneau easily lifts off with 1 person, it weighs hardly anything. The roadster package includes the 2 seater tonneau cover and Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. I am around gorgeous cars everyday and this one stands out.ĮXTERIOR: Gorgeous. The extra bright red paint and those wide whitewall tires with wire wheels is so sexy. The body lines make it look like it's moving while it's sitting still. Wow, this is one of the slickest, sharpest cars I've seen. Inside and out it is gorgeous! Better then most.
