Produced only for 1961 through 1963, the third-generation Bullet Bird Thunderbird was relentlessly improved and updated throughout its brief production run and with its unforgettable projectile-like styling, remains immensely popular with Thunderbird enthusiasts today. Four models were available for 1961-63, comprising the Hardtop, formal Landau Hardtop, Convertible, and from 1962, the Sports Roadster. For 1963, the last Bullet Bird model year, the Thunderbird was described by Lee Iacocca, Ford Motor Company vice president and Ford Division general manager, as the most changed car we are offering for 1963. Yet, for the most part, the changes are inside the vehicle. In addition to exterior updates including a new vertical-bar grille design and revisions to the body sides and taillights, the 1963 Thunderbird included additional sound deadening material and a quieter and longer-life exhaust system, plus myriad upgrades to the electrical system and accessories for improved reliability. Accordingly, the final-year Bullet Thunderbirds are particularly sought-after by todays most knowledgeable and passionate classic Thunderbird collectors.

Powered by a Z-code 390 CI V-8 engine with 4-barrel carburetor, delivering 300 factory-rated horsepower, this 1963 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is distinctively finished in Chestnut paint over a matching interior, with the paint finish remaining factory-original and the jet cockpit-styled interior virtually flawless.
