So why not relive that fantasy of leading the “jet set” lifestyle, driving a “jet age” style automobile, flying around town, turning heads while doing so. Nicely preserved for that Sunday drive to plow through some fossils.Ī very cool retro mid century, last year of a truly iconic convertible, the 1963 offers an opportunity to own an immediately recognized classic for a below market price. This is a very cool car which makes the driver feel very cool, especially since you can have the top down in the middle of winter if you so desire. Here it has nice acceleration, smooth shifting, and good handling. To the test track I fired this bullet bird up and shot through the gate. Up front disc brakes are on and also coil overs are here too. Rear leaf springs with coil overs are the rear suspension, along with drum brakes. Plenty undercoating and rustproofing bathes the undercarriage, which due to said coatings, and is rust free. New shocks and HD helper springs completed the suspension restoration. The engine head gaskets were replaced with new as well as all hoses and belts. The main axle bearings and rear wheel bearings were refreshed with new suspension bearings and complete front-end alignment. New brakes on all four corners, including front discs with power booster, replaced the worn discs and drums. A complete motor tune up including new plugs, points, condenser and carb rebuild was performed. The car presented has gone through a thorough mechanical restoration which includes a rebuilt transmission with new front and rear seals attached to the original 390ci engine. Power windows, power steering, power driver's seat, and power brakes are installed options. A speaker, radio, and 3-gauge cluster is within these swoops, and all appear in excellent condition. Above this are 2 black vinyl winglike structures (can you say bird?) that form the padded dash top. Horizontal ribbed aluminum snakes its way up to the dash, and proceeds to spread out from side to side over the dash front, and houses the heater and air flow controls, light switches, logos and a very cool swing away steering wheel. A sleek console makes its way to the dash, and houses the vinyl covered console glove box, and ashtray. ![]() 3 chromed faux jet intake appliqués adorn each exterior door panel and add to the jet look.īlack vinyl original to the car is seen, and is in full glory, with near nice bucket seats in front, and a bench in the back (although covered by the buckets rear headrests and Sport Roadster Tonneau). Wide white sidewall tires wrap original chrome spoke wheels, which have knockoff hubs. Chrome and bright work are correct, and in fine shape. Paint matching Sport Roadster Tonneau is attached to the back of each bucket, and swoop from the headrest to the rear deck, creating an aerodynamic “bat mobile” look. The mechanicals for this pop top are a marvel of engineering, as the whole long expansive trunk section, and the top become involved in the up and down operation and storage. Of the total production of 214,375 units produced, only 5,913 were convertibles.Ī Chestnut Brown bullet shaped model with a white convertible, presents in good overall condition. 1963 was the last production year of the third generation of T-birds. Offered for sale is a 1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible in Chestnut Brown exterior and Black vinyl interior. With design queues courtesy the jet age, its bullet like front appearance, and jet engine taillights was keying into the upwardly mobile middle class, and growing suburbia. The ultimate getaway car from the kids with a two seat configuration (rear seat is there but covered by cowlings) with a convertible cruiser, it became the “it” car for early 1960's suburbia. Eventually the Corvette went to racing, and the Thunderbird became the boulevard king. The Thunderbird and the Corvette have a long and sorted history, with both initially competing for the same customer space.
