All bathed in a Rangoon Red respray with a few faults in the paint when looking closely, but overall very nicely presenting. Small diagonal chrome bars were added in this area on the door. A horizontal styling line was added that ran from the point where the bumper and fender meet back through the door and angled down. This gives the appearance of the original two seat roadster of Thunderbird's early and humble beginnings. With its bullet- like appearance this beautiful M code bird features the sports roadster package which shows with 48 spoke Kelsey Hayes designed wire wheels with spinner center caps and a fiberglass tonneau covering which covers the rear seat. For 1963 only 37 units were produced, and it is believed only 22 now exist! This is an extremely rare M code car, which designates it comes with the original 390ci, (6.4 Liter), V8 topped with 3-2 barrel Holley carbs and rated at 340hp. From the day it was built, these cars became a desirable collectible and dripped with suburbia success.įor consignment, a bit of “provance”, (sic) we offer up a 1963 Thunderbird Convertible from the famed collector Jerry Capizzi's Cappy Collection. We were firmly into the jet age, beehive hairdos, fedora wearing, pipe smoking suburban dads, and the white picket fence surrounding the New England style house. This car really presents itself like beauty queen.The 1961 Ford Thunderbird design gave us the “bullet bird” with its rounded to a point front end to the twin turbine rear tail lights. 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.
