Unbelievable Find – 1963 Ford Thunderbird Factory Sports Roadster
One of 455 Produced – 100% Original Survivor – First Time Offered in 44 Years

We're proud to offer this exceptional 1963 Ford Thunderbird Factory Sports Roadster on consignment for a friend of ours who's owned it for the past 44 years. He spent four years searching for a car of this caliber before acquiring it from a doctor in Chicago. The car has been cherished and preserved ever since, driven only 6,500 miles in 44 years.

This is a real-deal Sports Roadster, one of just 455 factory-built examples, and it's a benchmark-level survivor. 100% original paint, top, interior, and drivetrain. It's never been restored because it never needed to be. Just 38,000 original miles and looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. A true once-in-a-lifetime find.

Condition:
This is a true survivor in remarkable condition. The paint is factory original and still shows beautifully with only minor age-appropriate imperfections - just a few small chips here and there from 60 years of careful use. The chrome is bright and mirror-like. All glass is clean and clear, and all weatherstripping is soft and intact. The car has never been hit, never rusted, and never molested. It presents like a fully restored car, but it's all original.

Interior:
The interior is stunning. Original seats, door panels, dash, and carpet—all in exceptional condition. No rips, fading, or dryness. The owner's name tag is still with the car, mounted on the dash. The convertible top is original and excellent. The trunk is fully detailed with original trunk mat, original jack, original jack instructions, and original wire wheel spare tire. Everything is where it should be—clean, correct, and untouched.

Mechanical:
The car runs and drives like new. Starts instantly, idles smooth, shifts perfectly, and rides like a low-mile Thunderbird should. It's never been apart - completely original under the hood, right down to the factory hood insulation. All gauges, lights, signals, and accessories function correctly. Just turn the key and go.

Underside:
Completely rust-free and clean. The car has always been properly stored and maintained. Floors, rockers, and frame rails are all solid and spotless. The undercarriage condition backs up the mileage and care.

In Closing:
You can restore any car, but you can't recreate originality and this car is the real thing. It's one of the nicest, most honest Sports Roadsters in existence. It's ready for any survivor class judging, any Thunderbird national meet, or to be proudly displayed in a collection. These cars are nearly impossible to find in this condition. This one is a true time capsule and should be preserved for the future.
