Small diagonal chrome bars were added in this area on the door. A horizontal styling line was added that ran from the point where the bumper and fender meet back through the door and angled down. This gives the appearance of the original two seat roadster of Thunderbird's early and humble beginnings. With its bullet- like appearance this beautiful M code bird features the sports roadster package which shows with 48 spoke Kelsey Hayes designed wire wheels with spinner center caps and a fiberglass tonneau covering which covers the rear seat. For 1963 only 37 units were produced, and it is believed only 22 now exist! This is an extremely rare M code car, which designates it comes with the original 390ci, (6.4 Liter), V8 topped with 3-2 barrel Holley carbs and rated at 340hp. From the day it was built, these cars became a desirable collectible and dripped with suburbia success.įor consignment, a bit of “provance”, (sic) we offer up a 1963 Thunderbird Convertible from the famed collector Jerry Capizzi's Cappy Collection. We were firmly into the jet age, beehive hairdos, fedora wearing, pipe smoking suburban dads, and the white picket fence surrounding the New England style house. Allow me to offer up a sincere "welcome aboard" here and now - give it another shot, and I'm sure you'll agree with all my above statements.The 1961 Ford Thunderbird design gave us the “bullet bird” with its rounded to a point front end to the twin turbine rear tail lights. I hope this little misunderstanding won't sour your impression of this site. Whether it be as a reference center for info or for great, helpful folks when it comes to these awesome cars, or just as a place to "hang out" and make some great friends of fellow T-Birders. Murf, bottom line is that this is an amazing place. Hopefully this feature makes sense now as a quick reference for info that might be needed by different members in an easy-to-access format, eliminating the need for a "search".Īllow me to offer the suggestion, however, that particularly as a newcomer here, a simple explanation of your intentions in the initial post would have been sufficient without the added insults of long-term members' writing/grammar/whatever skills. I must say I'm a bit surprised that someone who states they utilize hundreds of websites on a regular basis has never seen a "sticky" before, as I've been a member of several dozen myself over the years, and couldn't think one that doesn't - but that's neither here nor there. My follow-up to Brian's response was also meant in this same vein.and I will also honestly add that I, too, interpreted your post as, well, "grumpy" myself, for lack of a better term - especially by a "newbie" member - so no doubt the playful sarcasm ran somewhat rampant between the two of us. I can honestly say I've never seen anyone here intentionally offend another member. These cars can be a frustrating handful at times, and this is one innocently-intended way of blowing off steam, along with being just plain old camaraderie amongst fellow "Birders". While this may occasionally catch some off-guard, I can just about guarantee you that nothing malicious is ever intended. That said, the folks here are a fun bunch whose level of intelligence and sense of humour is on display on a pretty regular basis. ![]() Let me start this by saying that the reason I got involved with this website is the unbelievable level of civility, respect, and helpfulness of the members here - especially in comparison to other automotive-type sites. It looks like we all got off on the wrong foot here. Your response was informative, but TRULY UNPLEASANT. Instead, please try mastering America's version of English vice arrogance so you can differentiate between a statement and a question. And if that is diplomacy, please do not ever work in a field requiring such. It didn't need diplomacy, just an answer. If it is administrative, why doesn't the web site so designate, so the those of us unfamiliar with this PARTICULAR site's jargon and/or procedures are informed vice being subjected to your erroneous assumptions and pompous demeanor? There is NO glossary on this web site (that I have found) that explains such or I'd not have asked.Īs for your "supporter" - diplomatic? Not even close. ![]() I have NEVER seen a web site with this symbol and between my personal inquiries and our international business, we see hundreds. Whereas your response sentence was informative, answering what I asked, the base of your message is arrogant. ![]() It was ended with a question mark, not a period or exclamation mark. I asked 2 questions, combined in 1 sentence. ![]() Boy that was an unpleasant surprise "Brian".
