1963 Ford Thunderbird "Jimmy's T-bird" Big Oak Garage

A 1963 Ford Thunderbird that Jimmy Posey of Big Oak Garage has been working on for a couple of years...He started out by winning it at The Shades Of The Past Car Show and He drove it for a couple of years...But then He wanted to put His own touch to it...So He fixed the stance....Got it low...But drive-able.....Put some 20 Rocket Wheels on it...Did a little work on the Motor....Not to much...That is the motor that came in the car...The interior was kept stock..Most of it is original to the car...And the rest is in the details...Now this 1963 Ford T-bird is not a over the top custom...Or a high dollar show car...But what it is....Is cool....Set up to drive...Jimmy had it on several road trips this year....Cruiser...I see a lot of this generation Ford Thunderbird...I can usually walk by...But there is something about this 1963 Ford T-Bird that just works for Me...The color combo.....White with that blue interior....The Wheels ....The stance.....All just right for this build....I loved it..I'm sure you will to

Thanks, Scottie. I love it when a man gets a car that he likes the look of and so he doesn't have to cut it up to suit his taste. Beautiful car.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....

[@onestepbeyond7240]

My dad had a ' 60 , cousin a '62, uncle a '64. Just the coolest ! 58 - 67 can still be had at a reasonable price. Good memories, Scottie !

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@juststuff5216]

My Grandmother (I live in the UK, my Grandparents live in Florida) had one of these ... but it never looked like that. She passed away a few years ago, but its one of those lasting memories I have of her ..... my tiny, sub 5ft grandmother driving this huge car. ..... well it looked big when she was driving it!! :)

[@ScottieDTV]

lol....Thanks for the story!

[@juststuff5216]

Thanks for the video :)

[@timnicholas6868]

Thanks very much for this. It brings back great memories. My mother had a '63 Thunderbird identical to this when I was a little boy. She was a beautiful lady and looked great in it!

what a beauty. my friend's dad bought a new one in the day--what a tire ripper--no ethyl today, at least at the pumps, maybe it would run on super unleaded. love that 390!

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool...I hear ya....Cool car for sure!

[@ClassicChrome86]

Always loved the '61 - '63 T-Birds. I always thought they had such a clean sleek look to them.

[@ScottieDTV]

This one has the "look" for sure.....

[@joewilder]

I've been waiting to see a good T-Bird of this vintage. I knew they could be cool.

[@rondyechannel1399]

Yep, bullet bird's from this vintage have been a favorite since I was in grade school and the neighbor's got a turquoise 'vert. Fabulous interior.

Those 20's look so good on this. i'm surprised they don't rub. i ordered some 17's that look similar (10 spoke) and now i'm regretting not going bigger.

[@ScottieDTV]

I was surprised to....

[@georgelambertson300]

Great looking Ford Thunderbird ever...

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!!

[@thyslop1737]

A really tastefully done restomod. Did not jack with the interior. Very nicely done. Did not lower it. So many restomods they ruin the car. Takes a lot of restraint. Sometimes less is more. He summed it up, "IT IS WAY COOL". Makes you wanna weep looking at it.

[@ScottieDTV]

Thanks for checking it out!!

[@mooosestang]

It's lowered all the way around.

[@datnguyen1615]

this is my dream car. the interior design set a bench mark for luxury until now. It is a piece of art and technology of automobile.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...Glad you liked it!!

[@thyslop1737]

Those T birds from the 50's to mid sixties styling wise were incredible along with the slab Lincolns with the cutoff being 64. After 65, NAH, just not the same styling. Gotta believe price wise they just keep going up.

[@ScottieDTV]

Scottie, that’s a beautiful car. There’s nothing about it that I don’t like. Man I kick myself for getting rid of my ‘65 Thunderbird.

AWESOME INTERIOR

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!!

[@Kevin_747]

Beautiful car. As you said not overdone. If I remember right the drivers seat would swivel along with the steering column to assist in driver entry. Looks great with the original FE under the hood.

[@ScottieDTV]

The wheel does....Not sure about the seat...Glad you enjoyed it!!

Awesome, T-bird!

[@ScottieDTV]

I thought so to Brother!!

[@Kentaronizer]

I've always been more of a Japanese car person myself, being that I'm Japanese, but DAMN this thing is so COOL. The interior in these are probably my favorite of any car from the era.. And the rear 3/4 angle of this car with the fin leading to the circular taillights is simply sexual. I definitely need to depart from my JDM habits for a bit and pick a 63 up. SHEESH.

[@ScottieDTV]

lol...Cool is cool....

Once was about to buy a ‘63 T-bird convertible but earlier that day the head gasket let go on my ‘93 T-bird and I had parted out my ‘81 T-bird the month before.

Huh...
