For sale is an absolutely beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This T-Bird was restored in the late 1980s and spent the majority of its life in California prior to being brought up to the Inland Northwest region. This car is finished in its original color, Thunderbird Blue (T Code), with a matching hard top. The car is also equipped with factory power windows and power seat as well as a very nice aftermarket A/C system. This is an incredibly well preserved car with a straight, rust free body as shown below.
The interior of this T-Bird is immaculate. The dash material is in excellent shape without any shrinking, fading or cracking. All of the gauges are working including the clock. The factory AM radio still works. The original steering wheel shows very well with just a few small splits as shown. The carpets and seat cover are in like-new condition. A brand new windshield has just been installed.
The exterior of this T-Bird looks phenomenal despite the age of the restoration. The paint has a very deep shine and looks fantastic. The car does have some blemishes typical of the age of the restoration such as small paint chips/nicks, but no major damage otherwise. There are a few areas where the paint is showing some very minuscule pimples, typical of the paints of the era, but are only seen in the right lighting. There are absolutely zero paint bubbles or blisters from rust anywhere on the body. The chrome and stainless trim on this car is in amazing condition with virtually no pitting seen anywhere.
The undercarriage of this T-Bird is very dry and rust free aside from typical surface rust on the frame and suspension components. This car has a full undercoating treatment as many of these 1950s T-Birds had. The trunk, doors, rockers, fenders, and rear quarters are all rock solid as shown below.
This car runs and drives well. The 292 V8 runs smoothly with respectable power. The transmission shifts as it should. The brakes work well and do not pull to one side or the other. The original carburetor was sent out and professionally rebuilt earlier this year.
Please call Specialty Cars Trucks and Classics at 208-641-9852 to discuss this Thunderbird.
