Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1955 Ford
Thunderbird. This Golden Rod Yellow Thunderbird is a unique
resto-mod. It has the best of the new and the old. Classic styling
and flair - check. Modern power, reliability, and comfort - check.
First, we'll talk about the obvious. This 1955 Thunderbird was
fully restored from the frame up in 2017. Every worn part was
removed and refurbished or replaced out right - including extensive
bodywork. The car now appears 'as new' and would make any purist
proud. However, the 292ci V8 Y block was tossed in favor of a fuel
injected, computer managed, aluminum 6.2L LS3 V8! A 4L60 automatic
handles shifting duties with a Dana 44 rear end putting the power
to the ground. When you slide behind the wheel, you're greeted with
factory power seats, electric power steering and power brakes.
Enhancing the modern experience are disk brakes up front and
electric fans to keep things cool under the hood. The car comes
with a binder full of receipts and documents covering the
restoration. It runs great, looks great and drives great. A Yellow,
head turning, 50s roadster that will make anyone proud. This 1955
