Two Classic Ford Thunderbirds Listed With Contrasting Provenance

Buyer due diligence is advised because most claims come directly from seller listings.

Overview

  • The 1963 Thunderbird is advertised on Craigslist in Ronkonkoma, New York for $17,959 with a seller-claimed 46,000 original miles and no prior restoration.
  • Powered by a 390ci V8 rated at 300 hp with a three-speed automatic, the 1963 car is described as running and driving perfectly with power steering, power brakes, and power windows but no air conditioning.
  • A 1956 Thunderbird offered by seller David B. in Watertown, Connecticut shows 81,000 miles and received a body-off restoration in 1994 that included a rebuild of its 312ci V8.
  • The 1956 example retains its removable hardtop, features factory air conditioning and multiple power accessories in working order, and is reported rust-free with recent service and light show use.
  • Barn Finds calls the 1963 car’s price competitive as Thunderbird values edge higher, and notes that key details across both listings rely on seller assertions that buyers should independently verify.
