1955 Ford Thunderbird Regal Replica in Concord, North Carolina
From the first moment you laid eyes on this 1955 Ford Thunderbird
Regal Replica, you can tell it's something extra special. From its
slick exterior, to the luxurious interior, to the huge
fuel-injected 502 V8, this takes you favorite iconic design and
gives it custom muscle car moves.
We know you fell in love/lust at first sight... so did we. That's
because this just seems to get the design right. You get all the
iconic elements like the pointed T-bird front end, sweeping side
lines, and jet-inspired taillights. But now it has a modern hot rod
flair thanks to the metallic yellow paint that covers every inch,
including the bumpers and headlight surrounds. Plus, the door
handles have been shaved to give this the full custom sleek
appearance. This new attitude in yellow draws attention to the
remaining brightwork. So you really notice pieces like custom
grille and 17-inch Foose wheels. This attitude even extends to the
removable hardtop where the bold yellow and bright trim helps draw
attrition to the iconic porthole windows.
The interior is instantly recognizable as a complete and custom
build. It starts with the tan leather bucket seats. These have the
kind of comfortable bolstering you could never get in the 1950s,
and so this custom creation is ready to cruise much further than
your standard T-bird. Great feature like power windows, cup holder
center console, and an AM/FM/CD stereo only heighten this all-day
cruiser appeal. Plus, you're going to love driving with the top
down all through the summer. But as modern as the features are,
this car still retains some of the best design features of the
original. For example, we love how it has the machine-turned
aluminum flowing across the dash and onto both door panels. When
you slip behind the leather-wrapped Lecarra steering wheel and see
the full digital gauge package, you soon realize that the driving
experience has been upgraded, too.
This is the kind of engine bay you'll love showing off. The bold
exterior yellow is not only used for the smooth engine bay, but
also it's the main color on the valve covers, too. Beyond that, we
dare you to find another component that can be polished to a
mirror-like shine. But more than just look fantastic, this V8 has
some serious substance. With 502 cubic-inches, this is one of the
largest big block motors you can get your hands on. Plus, with a
custom fuel-injection setup, MSD wiring, and shorty headers, this
is a powerful and thunderous total package. But power is nothing
without control. That's why you need to check out the undercarriage
photos. The steel chassis looks more like a Shelby Cobra than a '55
T-bird. Plus, with tubular A-arms up front and a coilover rear, you
have the kind of moves to run circles around original Thunderbirds.
This total control package is finished off with four-wheel disc
brakes and new Continental Extreme Contact tires. But more than
just a performance machine, this has thoughtful everyday
components. It includes a four-speed automatic transmission with
highway-friendly overdrive. And there's an aluminum radiator with
electric fan, so you can be in traffic while still running
cool.
A bold presentation, plenty of creature comforts, and huge power -
this is the best of everything wrapped around one of the most
iconic designs ever. And it's available right now to the first
person to grab this deal. Call now!
