'''ALERT---ALERT---PROJECT CAR---NEEDS ADDITIONAL RESTORATION'''
1956 "Baby Bird" was the second-year model of the first-generation
Ford Thunderbird and has become known as the mid-century icon for
sports cars. American Graffiti fans as well as classic car
collectors across the world are familiar with the most popular
luxury sports car of the mid-fifties. Out of the barn after 45
years being covered in dust comes this example of the American
classic car collectors sweetest dream. The 312cid Y-block V8 runs
acceptably well after some fresh fuel and the addition of new
sparkplugs. The radiator has been replaced along with the gas tank,
lines, fuel sender, tires, master-cylinder and battery. This
vehicle will be sold as a running and driving project car. The body
and paint will need abundant love and the drive train and
suspension will need additional tuning and maintenance, such as
carb kit and age hardened rubber bushings and other parts. The
up-side on this one is that you can drive it while you restore and
the potential for increased market value is huge. This hardtop
only, convertible has an automatic transmission and power steering
for driving comfort and enough power to get the sports car feel.
Wake up and act now to be able to own a piece of history at an
affordable price. If you are showing, cruising or just collecting,
this car puts you in a vehicle that will one day be the envy of
your collector friends. The condition as shown in the pictures
should make this a super worthwhile restoration project because of
its low price for a vehicle in this condition, making it a perfect
choice for getting into the classic car market either as an
investment opportunity or as a weekend or daily driver. If you've
wanted a sporty super stylish car with the potential to be a
consistent show winner and a dependable driver and at an affordable
price this is the one! Don't wait. Mileage stated in listing is the
