A swing away steering wheel allows for easy access for the driver and reveals a trio of round chrome bezeled gauges embedded inept the dash. These doors and their ribbed center panel line up perfectly with the aluminum, which is on the dash front, swooping through the center of the otherwise red padded dash with dual eyebrow design.

Two tone door panels await your entrance and have a mixture of red vinyl all padded and nice with an interaction of aluminum panels and some vertical chromed bars at the bottom. One had to love the dual cowled tonneau which gives the entire package a futuristic Buck Rogers look. On back the jet engine styled taillights framed with large smoothed over bezels and another shiny bumper below. Window surrounds are all excellent as are fender toppers badging plus mirrors and handles. All chrome and trimmings are in excellent condition, and this includes the “shaver styled” front grille with its horizontal dual headlights and pointed crafted bumper for the front, along with a hood scoop with a chromed intake covering, and of course the iconic rounded front quarters.

Under that enormous trunk is a pristine white convertible top that needs manual assistance for one step with moving down. 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.

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. 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.
