For Sale: 1956 Ford Thunderbird in Maryville, Illinois

Vehicle Description

My late husband purchased the car in 1970. I believe he was the 2nd or 3rd  owner. The car was his baby. It is a hard top convertible. Rag top is behind the seat but unsure of the condition as it has not been put up for several years. In 1974 he had a new short block 312 engine put in the car instead of rebuilding the original engine. The car has 93,689 miles on the odometer. Last year I had this engine rebuilt due to a mechanics error. (This is a story for another day).  Less than 300 miles on the rebuilt engine. New tires and fuel pump. Car body was stripped to bare metal and painted one year ago. I have the fender skirts but have not put them back on the car. Complete new interior ready to be installed.  Also  various new  chrome accessories and rubber moldings need installing as well.  It is searching for a new home and an owner  who has the energy, time and interest to complete the restoration.  Time for someone else to enjoy it and create great memories.
