Up for sale is a 1963 Ford Thunderbird Principality of Monaco Edition. This is car number 1169 of 2000 produced. According to our national Thunderbird registry, ewer than 100 Monaco editions remain. This car was purchased new in California; I still have the original black plates dated 1963. It has a clear Virginia title in my name.

This is a rare car, ot only for the Monaco option, ut it comes with white leather interior, ower steering, indows, rakes, nd a power driver's seat. It also comes with factory air conditioning and the original AM radio (which does work). The seats are in good condition, ith only a stain on the passenger seat base (see pictures). It also has the optional front seat belts. All of the rare Monaco trim is still in the car with the exception of the spinner hubcaps.

The car has no rust underneath, ut some in the trunk between the trunk lid and the rear window, nd a little in the middle of the roof where Ford installed the landau top over what looks to be bare metal. Over the last couple of years, have installed a new correct single exhaust system, ew brakes (only new components, ever rebuilt brake parts!), ew fuel lines, nd gas tank. It also has a new alternator, Ford remanufactured power steering pump, ew belts, oses, tc. The engine has obviously been rebuilt, s it was painted blue. The original color scheme was black with silver valve covers and air cleaner.

The body overall is good, ut has some damage (the prior owner was very elderly) to the sides. The right front fender is in the worst shape, nd I have a rust free fender that will go with the car. The door, ood, nd trunk lines are good. The body still has most of its original white paint.

The engine runs with a temporary gas supply, he fuel system needs to be cleaned due to the ethanol fuel sitting for more than 3 months...

The intent was to restore this car as I have a dozen others, ut, ith kids there is no time to do any full restorations. These bullet Birds are very desirable. They run and drive extremely well. Fully restored show winning Monaco Editions have sold for six figures. This car has all the options except an AM/FM radio; it is well worth putting in the effort to make it look like new.
