1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe

Step back in time with this amazing 1963 Ford Thunderbird Landau Coupe, featuring the optional Z-Code 390ci engine. This time capsule is in mostly original condition with only 47,000 miles on it. Yes, this car is a true survivor that looks beautiful. Classic cars like this only come around once in a lifetime. It has been a Colorado and Arizona car since new, with only two owners. Both owners took great care of this beauty throughout its entire life, as shown in every aspect. Even the original O'Meara Ford dealer emblem is still on the car. What an awesome find!

The car retains much of its original Raven Black paint finish, which looks excellent. All the chrome, trim, and brightwork are original and gleam like new. All the original glass is crystal clear, and it even has all original weather stripping that looks amazing and as pliable as it was in the 1960s. The Corinthian White Landau top is in mint original condition. Under the hood is equally untouched and original, in absolutely great condition with hardly any wear, as a 47k-mile car should be.

The black interior is also very impressive, with all-original carpet and upholstery, a very well-preserved interior, a perfect dash pad, a clean gauge cluster, and a perfect steering wheel. The trunk is in pristine and all-original condition as well. This beauty spent its life in Colorado and Arizona, making it 100% rust-free and solid as a rock.

With only 12,139 of these ever produced, the '63 Landau is a very rare and unique car. This has to be one of the nicest originals in the country and for sure one of the most desirable with its perfect color combination. It's even sitting on a set of chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels wrapped with white wall tires. Don't miss this opportunity, as you won't find another one like it for a long time, if ever. It is truly an impressive automobile.
