Great article on a rare, one of only 455 1963 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster built, and only 3 of them in Champaign!
Scroll down to Monthly Highlight: My 1963 Thunderbird Sports Roadster. Oh yeah, it belongs to our very own, Bob Jackman!!

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!
