#63 t bird for sale full

A single 4-barrel Holley carb is atop and covered by a nice gold painted air cleaner. The engine head gaskets were replaced with new as well as all hoses and belts. A complete engine tune up including new plugs, points, condenser 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 390ci engine. Power brakes and power steering are additional factory equipment. A speaker, radio, and a 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 the dash, and proceeds to spread out from side to side over the dash front, which 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. The rear seats are covered when making use of the sports tonneau which inserts neatly around the front buckets. These all have lighter blue tuck and roll inserts and dark blue bolsters and are all very nice. A bench in the back is seen without the tonneau cover.

Two tone blue vinyl, original to the car is seen, and is in full glory, with near nice bucket seats in front, complete with integrated wrap around headrests. 3 chromed faux jet intake appliqués adorn each exterior door panel and add to the jet look. Thin white sidewall tires wrap original chrome turbine styled custom wheels, which have knockoff hubs. These are topped by miniature fins, which were quickly beginning to disappear, but on this car are utilized from front quarter to rear lights. Bringing up the rear are twin turbine jet engine styled taillights which are enclosed into the rear bumper. Chrome and bright work are correct, and in fine shape.

A paint matching Sport Roadster Tonneau is attached to the back the buckets, and swoop from the headrest to the rear deck, creating an aerodynamic “bat mobile” look and enclosing the rear seats. The mechanicals for this pop top are a marvel of engineering, as the whole long expansive trunk section, and the top become involved on the up and down operation and storage. Of the total production of 214,375 units produced, only 5,913 were convertibles.Ī Diamond Blue bullet shaped model with a white convertible top, 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 Diamond Blue exterior and light blue vinyl interior. With design cues courtesy of the jet age, its bullet like front appearance, and jet engine taillights were keying into the upwardly mobile middle class, and growing suburbia. The ultimate get away 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.
