Was $49,995.00 Now $42,500.00This beautiful Thunderbird has been
treated to a recent extensive ground up restoration with new Coral
paint, Coker whitewall tires and Thunderbird wire wheel covers. The
interior is all new with correct upholstery, door panels and
carpeting. This car has the 312 Y block Thunderbird Special V-8
with 3 speed manual transmission and overdrive. It features the
removable fiberglass hard top with porthole window and new white
folding soft top, Town and Country radio and a rebuilt power
steering system. Other refurbishing includes a new 4 row radiator,
water pump replacement, generator, shock absorbers and fuel tank.
The engine bay is nicely detailed with new polished aluminum valve
covers and chrome air cleaner.For the 1956 model, more trunk space
was added, the spare wheel was mounted outside(which helped free up
trunk space),the exhausts were moved to the ends of the bumper, and
air vents were added behind the front wheels to improve cabin
ventilation. To improve rear-quarter visibility with the removable
hardtop in place, "porthole" windows were made available as a
no-cost option. An optional 312 Y-block V8 was made available for
those that wanted more performance. 1956 production was 15,631
units, the lowest of all three 2-seater Thunderbird model years.
