Very good looking bird and a very interesting history!!!!

Yes it is, the son told us that his Dad and Jimmy Hoffa and the wifes used to make the run from Denver to Vegas in the car for a little R&R if you know what I mean. It's a nice driving car with the 300 plus HP 390 it boogies pretty good too.

Really not a bad asking price for such a nice car with a history. These Birds were such pretty cars.

In 1964 I was 18, and got a job at a local Ford dealership as a lot boy. There was a nice looking 1963 T bird on the lot, yellow, black vinyl top, real wire wheels.

One day I started it to go wash it, and when it fired up the engine sounded totally different than all the others on the lot, so I popped the hood. It had an all chrome, tripower 406 under the hood. When I say all chrome, I mean the usual stuff like valve covers, etc., but also the fender braces, master cylinder lid, power steering pump, and tons more.

I found out it was part of the Ford Caravan of factory show cars, and had been put on our lot to sell when the shows ended. They were asking $3800.00 for it, and I wanted it in the worst way, but since I was making about $ 50.00 a week, the numbers didn't compute. I did get to drive it from one lot to the other, and it really moved when those trips kicked in. I'm not sure if they fired me for driving the T Bird that way, or if it was for the burnout I did with a Falcon Sprint.

I wonder where that car is today, and what it is worth?????

Geez Brick, I have to stop looking at those pics!!! Everytime I look at it I start getting these weired thoughts of what I could sell so I could buy it!!!!!
