The Thunderbird was one luxurious car, it was even sold to customers as a personal luxury car which essentially meant that the Thunderbird marque focused more on luxury than performance. Amongst all the great cars that sported the Thunderbird name, the third generation is what really stood out. It was the official Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 as well as featured prominently in President John F Kennedy's inaugural parade. Owning one surely sets you apart wherever you go so why not check out this 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe when you have the chance. Located in California and with a reported 96,251 miles on the clock this vintage beauty is a love letter to Sixties design and one that would look great in your driveway.
Exterior and Interior
The third generation thunderbird is one car for the history books in terms of automotive design. It looked like it was out of a Sci-fi movie and sported a unique bullet-styled design on the car. This 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe sports a maroon exterior and perfectly matches that unique Landau coupe body style which features a black vinyl roof on this car. What’s more iconic than the exterior color is the original 48 spoke Kelsey-Hayes designed wire wheels in place giving the car a real luxurious look on the road. The tires are also reportedly new and installed when the current owner purchased the car and has less than 100 miles on them. With its futuristic design cues, it’s hard to think anything could top it. That is until you've stepped inside this car, the interior is finished off in black and features wood accents all around the car. The wood and nickel on the car are in perfect shape looking shiny and new. The original swing-away steering wheel is also in place which was an industry first when released with the third generation. To ensure good times are no stranger in this car you get an aftermarket stereo system which was specifically made for a 1963 Ford Thunderbird. All you need to do is install it and cruise on by with some vintage tunes.
Engine
The third generation Thunderbird was in a class of its own with its unique design. To match those design cues the folks over at Ford sure needed an engine that could provide decent performance as well as be refined and provide a luxury feel. Providing all that in this 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe is a 6.4 L (390ci) engine. The engine has seen a recent tune-up in July 2021 with new spark plugs being replaced around the same time as well. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic gearbox. The current owner states that the engine and transmission are period correct but not sure whether they are original to the car. To provide a pleasant driving experience the car comes with power steering and power windows with all 4 windows reportedly functioning as well. To better experience and hear that old school V8 in action you get a new exhaust system installed which was reportedly replaced when the current owner purchased the car.
The 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe blends retro-inspired styling with V8-powered grand touring, recalling the original two-seat Thunderbird while adding the comfort and drivability expected of a modern roadster. Showing 73,264 miles, this example is finished in Platinum Silver over a Black Ink leather interior and comes equipped with both a black convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Aftermarket wire-spoke wheels give it a more traditional appearance, while an aftermarket sound system adds a modernized touch to the cabin.
The 2002 Ford Thunderbird marked the return of one of Ford’s most recognizable nameplates, blending retro-inspired design with modern V8 power and a two-seat convertible layout.

The most distinctive part of this example is its Full Interior Color Accent Package, which brings extensive Torch Red treatment to the seat inserts, lower instrument panel, center console, door panels, steering wheel, and shift knob. Aftermarket wheels add a more personalized exterior touch, while the overall configuration keeps the car focused on relaxed V8 cruising with plenty of early-2000s retro character.

Its specification is highlighted by Premium Series Order Code 110A and the Full Interior Color Accent Package, which carries Torch Red detailing throughout the cabin. Heated front seats, 17-inch chrome wheels, and the contrasting black convertible soft top further round out a Thunderbird that leans heavily into the stylish grand-touring character that defined this generation.
