Background Story of this 1963 Ford Thunderbird

Overview of 1963 Ford Thunderbird For Sale by Owner

The Ford Thunderbird is a personal luxury car made by Ford across ten generations between 1955 and 1997. A retro-modern homage briefly made an appearance between 2002 and 2005. The Thunderbird was created for Ford to offer a car that enabled comfortable, luxurious and smooth long-distance touring for two adults and their luggage. Soon enough, though, Ford realized that adding a rear seat would broaden the appeal of the T-Bird. If you’d been intrigued as to what a T-Bird is like to own and drive, check out this classic third-generation 1963 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now. Coming from Washington, this car has journeyed for 81,839 miles so far.

Exterior and Interior

This silver and gray two-tone 1963 Ford Thunderbird showcases one of the third generation’s most striking design features, which is its quad headlamp-endowed front end that curves downwards when viewed from a side. Styled by Bill Boyer, it was meant to be sleeker and lower than the outgoing second generation. The rear wheels are semi-faired in via wheel spats, and you’ve got those iconic turbine-inspired rear lamp clusters, because cars were taking inspiration from those newfangled Jet Aircraft that were becoming popular by the Sixties. The interior of this 1963 Ford Thunderbird comes in black, and this car features the Swing-Away Steering system. This allows for easier entry and exit by the driver, by swinging the steering column to the right hand side. This feature can only be used when the transmission is set to Park, and to avoid accidental shifting, the gear lever is automatically disabled when the steering wheel is swung away from the driving position. Isn’t that neat? The rest of the interior looks similarly stock, with the exception of a retro modern-styled radio that comes with a cassette tape player and an AUX input.

Engine

Powering this 1963 Ford Thunderbird is a potent 390ci V8, paired with a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive configuration. The car has power steering for an easy driving experience, and power brakes to ensure that you can bring it to a stop with grace and panache. We’re also told that the car has received a new battery.

2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$22,500
SOLD

The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.

SOLD

The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.

1969 Ford Torino Cobra

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$68,999

Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

1933 Ford Model 40 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod Supercharged

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$60,000

A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.

PENDING SALE
$31,999

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.

PENDING SALE
$69,999

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
