This “barn find” 1963 Ford Thunderbird sports roadster is available after being in long term storage. Originally from New Mexico, it was re-painted there in the 1980’s in Chestnut Red. All sheet metal looks to be original, and there are no signs of rust repair anywhere on the body or floors. The car currently runs well and drives, but needs brake work to be road worthy (Recommend new brake hoses, wheel cylinders). The convertible top is not currently functioning but relays are clicking under the trunk lid.
Original Numbers Matching engine runs well. It starts easily and does not smoke. Transmission goes through all three gears smoothly.
