Gorgeous 56 Victoria with Thinderbird Special motor. This one is
stunning with great colors, a continental kit and those sparkling
wire wheels. It is claimed to be an excellent survivor. 75,260
actual miles. Virgin body, only 1 repaint, original interior. Never
been hit or rusted, repainted only 1 time in 1981 in it's original
colors.
EXTERIOR: Claimed to be a no hit, no rust body. It is straight
everywhere, body panels are square. It is smooth all along the
bottoms, no bubbles. Repainted only 1 time back in 1981. Factory
Goldenglow yellow-colonial white colors it was born with. The paint
is striking, it is glossy and shows real well. If you are
inspecting it you will find minor flaws. The shiny chrome and trim
are original except rechromed bumpers and door handles. The
stainless is straight and shiny. All the glass is crystal clear. It
has electric wipers.
INTERIOR: Claimed to be original interior. The upholstery still
looks great. The carpet may have been replaced. It does have the
optional padded dash which is in mint condition. All the
instruments, knobs, heater controls are excellent. It does have a
retro stereo fit in the factory location. There's an owner's manual
in the glove box. The original white perforated headliner is very
nice, the door panels look very nice. The interior light still
works.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: "Thunderbird Special" which is the 292 motor 4
barrel carb and dual exhaust. Dressed with Thunderbird finned valve
covers. It's completely stock- correct air cleaner, manifolds and
"teapot" carb. It features factory power steering. First year for
12 volt battery system. Overall very clean and tidy.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Big rock solid trunk compartment. All nice clean
metal with the original white paint. It has a new trunk liner and
seat divider. It has a white wall tire that's never been used on a
yellow rim for a spare. It also has the complete jack assembly
too.
UNDERSIDE: Rock solid. It has factory undercoat/sound deadener
still applied. The front end looks like it has been gone through.
Several components look recent- control arm bushings, shocks, sway
bar bolts. The rear shocks and leaf springs were replaced. The
power steering hoses and control valve were replaced. It has dual
exhaust with Schmitty mufflers for that old school sound. The
bottom of the motor is clean. The Ford-o-matic trans looks clean.
It has 3.23 gears in back. The e-brake assembly is hooked up.
I do believe the claims of being a well preserved survivor. It is a
clean, unabused Victoria. It is dressed to impress, gorgeous
car!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
