Great article on a rare, one of only 455 1963 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster built, and only 3 of them in Champaign!

Yep, great car! Bob owns something special, no doubt!
A beautiful T-Bird in a gorgeous color! Really enjoyed the article as well.
Thanks guys. The Antique Vehicle Club of Mississippi has a new newsletter editor and is featuring a member and their car each month.
A fine article about this superb Thunderbird, as owned by Bob ! What a beautiful automobile and in exactly the right hands to appreciate and drive this gorgeous car.

Nice one Bob! What a stunning automobile. I'd spend all day sitting out on the veranda just staring at it in the driveway!
@sizedoesmatter Thanks for the pictures John and thanks for the additional comments guys. Steve, the number one color was Rangoon Red followed by Wimbledon White.
@geoff-jowett Geoff, even better is driving the car with one drawback, the mileage isn't very good...approximately 8-10 mpg.

Thanks Bob. Duh... I should have known that red would be number one.

The '61 - '63 are my least liked T- birds, trying to look like a rocket ship, not a car. BUT, I do like yours Bob, love the roadster a lot. Keep the hardtop though!
