1963 Ford Thunderbird - Lithia Springs, GAStreetside ClassicsLithia Springs, GA 30122Ph: 8773671835Web: www. Even at this price, someone's losing a ton of money on the build, and with a long list of upgrades and a traditional look, it's the kind of car that that stops even the most jaded car show fan in his tracks. Well-done cars stand out. Finished in 2007, it still looks fantastic thanks to expert care and quality workmanship, and we do like the fact that it's not red. Of note, that's a California 1-piece front bumper (good luck finding another one of those!), and all the gold anodized parts have been polished to a high shine. The original bench seats wear correct two-tone blue upholstery with textured inserts, there are correct carpets with matching rubber floor mats, and the two-tone dash is a neat custom twist that most folks will think is an original feature. The gauges are modern pieces from Classic Instruments that fit neatly in the original pods, and the factory A/C vents are fed by a powerful modern A/C system from Vintage Air. An Ididit tilt column wears a three-spoke wheel that comes from a vintage Corvette, a nice touch. Entertainment comes via an AM/FM/cassette stereo in the original slot and the fantastic matching blue convertible top stows with the touch of a button. As I mentioned, the engine is a crate 350, but they did more than take it out of the box and throw it in. The block was smoothed and painted in Chevy Orange, then topped with a lot of polished aluminum and chrome. For power there's an Edelbrock intake manifold with a Holley 600 carb on top, along with a set of Hedman headers to handle the exhaust. A big aluminum radiator has no trouble keep it nice and cool, and the brakes are upgraded with a dual reservoir master cylinder and front discs. The suspension features 2-inch drop spindles up front and custom leaf springs out back to suspend a Chevy Nova 10-bolt rear end. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission snaps off easy shifts and the stance is accentuated by a set of 15-inch Torque Thrust wheels with staggered 205/70/15 front and 235/.
