West Coast Classics presents an exceptional and highly desirable example of the third generation of Thunderbird coupes, a mostly all original example of this Arizona state titled 1963 Ford Thunderbird 2 door Hardtop coupe with a 390 c.i. 300HP V8 engine in completely rust free condition with factory options including bucket seats with front console, power steering, power brakes, original AM radio, rear skirts and obviously the unique swing-away steering wheel!
The Thunderbird was redesigned in 1961 with sleeker styling from its previous 'Squarebird' design that gave the bird a renown 'bullet-lie' appearance with an all new bodyshell featuring a severely pointed front end and the car enjoyed a smoother ride with much improved handling and soundproofing. The interior design featured a contoured dash that curved at its outward ends to blend in with the door panels and the model boasted the first 'Swing-away' steering wheel. A new engine, the 390 c.i. 6.4L V8 was standard and mated to a three speed automatic transmission. A vinyl roofed Landau option with simulated S bars was added to the line up in 1962 as was the legendary Sports Roadster for convertible models. The Sports Roadster had a special fiberglass tonneau cover for the rear seats which gave the car the appearance of being a two seater roadster like the original Thunderbirds from 1955-57. Newly optioned for '62 was an upgraded version of the 390 c.i. V8 named the 'M' code after the designated M used as the engine code in the VIN number of the very few and rare cars equipped with this upgrade. The 'M code version of the 390 c.i. V8 was equipped with no less than three 2 barrel Holley carburetors and produced 340HP. These 'M' code V8 Thunderbirds are exceptionally rare with some reports showing only some 200 in total being built during its production years of 1962-3 and obviously very few are left remaining on the roads today!
This particular car was apparently repainted by its most recent Arizona owner in it's original 'Cascade Green Metallic' color paint with its mostly all original 'Gold' vinyl bucket seats interior still in mostly completely original condition throughout. The floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free - obviously an always garaged and cherished desert climate and previously California car since new. The original spare wheel with it's jack is in the trunk.
The 390/300HP V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives extremely well and must be driven to be fully appreciated. The transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears and the temperature always remains cool! The previous ownership kept all their physical service records and history of the car including its original owners handbook showing the car to have been originally sold on 3/25/1963 at 'City Motors' of National City, CA to it's original southern California owner of Coronado, CA. There is an extraordinarily thick amount of service history which will be transferred with the car.
This is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and never abused example of an obviously always garaged coveted original southern California and later Arizona state rust free 1963 Ford Thunderbird 2 door Hardtop coupe in very fine condition throughout and an outstanding example of one of the outstanding Ford designs of the sixties which has high repute for both it's beautiful lines and smooth fast performance for a luxury coupe.
In summary, this is one great daily driver and an ideal addition to the Ford enthusiast's collection of an obviously always garaged and rust free example of this increasingly desirable and collectable 1963 Ford Thunderbird 2 door Hardtop Coupe!
