The 1963 Ford Thunderbird, once a dream car for earlier generations, now languishes in a dismal scrap yard, forgotten and forsaken

When I pull together fragments of youthful memories, I seem to recall the classic Thunderbird being held in high regard. Whether it was my grandfather or a neighbor, the Thunderbird was always viewed as a desirable car by the older generations, but the market today doesn’t seem to agree. This 1963 Ford Thunderbird here on eBay is a needs-everything project, and doesn’t look all that far from the scrapyard. On that note, the Thunderbird is one of the few classics I still occasionally see get dropped off and junked, a sure sign that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze to some owners when it comes time to restore these classic coupes. The seller is short on details, only noting that the engine runs and the transmission is bad, information that is based on a second-hand account rather than personal experience. Do you think these Thunderbirds deserve more love?
