Classic Car Overview

Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville is proud to digitally introduce this stunning 1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Sports Roadster, a true icon of American luxury and performance. This vehicle boasts a striking Rangoon red exterior and plush red leather interior, creating a bold and timeless aesthetic. Under the hood lies a powerful 390 CID V8 engine, rebuilt with Ertel pistons, Sealed Power moly piston rings, and Clevite 77 bearings. The engine has been bored .040 over, and the rotating assembly balanced within a tenth of a gram, ensuring smooth and reliable performance. A 3-core radiator provides extra cooling, making this Thunderbird as dependable as it is beautiful.

The driving experience is further elevated by a 3-Speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, rebuilt with a B&M shift kit for crisper shifts. This Thunderbird is equipped with a host of luxurious features, including air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, an automatic convertible top, and power amenities such as brakes, seats, steering, and windows. The tilt-away steering wheel and seatbelts add to the comfort and safety of this classic ride. The car sits on the famous Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels with white wall tires, enhancing its vintage charm.

This particular Thunderbird is a rare gem, being one of only 455 Sports Roadsters built in 1963. Even more exclusive, it is 1 of just 29 optioned with factory air conditioning, Rangoon Red with matching red interior. Adding to its allure, it is believed to have once belonged to country music artist Alan Jackson, making it a piece of celebrity history as well.

Restored in 1989, this Thunderbird has accumulated less than 10,000 miles since, preserving its condition and ensuring it remains a standout in any collection. Accompanying this classic are numerous original documents, including the dealer invoice and build sheet, offering a glimpse into its storied past. This 1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Sports Roadster is not just a car; its a testament to an era of automotive excellence and a rare opportunity for any collector or enthusiast.
