BODY OVERVIEW:
This Thunderbird has the classic '63 T-Bird body that people love, adorned with tasteful custom touches that give it a stylish edge. The body trim gleams, the iconic Thunderbird lines show boldly, and the lowered stance on chrome wheels sets it apart with a cool, mid-century lowrider flair! While much of it appears original or part of an older restoration, the custom “Day 2” look is completed by vintage-inspired chrome dual exhaust tips.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The white paint is believed to be original or a very old repaint, and as a result it shows some character, with checking and light imperfections throughout—a testament to its vintage status. It presents beautifully from a few feet away and pairs perfectly with the purple flake roof and tasteful hand-painted pinstripes. If you’re looking for a pristine, fresh paint job, this may not be the car for you, but if you love a classic with some attitude, it’s a total stunner!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black leather interior is in excellent driver condition—it’s not overdone, but offers comfort and style with a touch of custom flair. The interior appears to be largely original, and by that standard is in truly fantastic condition! The purple flake steering wheel complements the roof and pinstripe detailing, bringing the custom look inside. The power windows work as anticipated, a true luxury from the ’60s, and add a bit of ease to the cruising experience!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, the 390 V8 fires up strong and has plenty of power for an enjoyable ride! The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, making this Thunderbird a capable and comfortable driver. The dual exhaust gives this car a more aggressive tone than it would have had from the factory, but it isn’t so loud that you can’t hear yourself think. Mechanically, it’s turn-key and ready to hit the road! Plus, the car comes with a stash of spare parts, including an original steering wheel and extra steering/suspension components.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
This Thunderbird is a mix of classic originality and unique custom style—the kind of car that draws admiration from everyone who sees it! And the best part is, you don’t have to break the bank to own it. The purple flake details and lowrider stance give it a vibe that’s hard to beat. And with the smooth V8 and working power windows, it’s ready for some unforgettable cruising!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
If you’re after a showroom-perfect, freshly restored Thunderbird, the age on the paint and custom touches might not be your cup of tea. This car wears its history with pride, and while it shows well, it’s not a factory restoration.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
Nothing major! This Thunderbird is turn-key and ready to go. Just add gas and get ready to cruise. If desired, the custom touches could be returned to original, but why mess with style this good? Buyers should note that the wipers and reverse lights are not operational.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This Thunderbird is perfect for someone who appreciates classic American styling with a twist—a collector or enthusiast who loves originality with a custom edge. If you’re looking for a stylish, vintage lowrider or a distinctive driver that stands out at car shows, this Thunderbird is ready to roll.
