We will start off with the exterior of this Convertible. As you
walk around it you will notice it has an excellent fit of all the
panels. Both doors open and close with an excellent fit, while all
the gaps are even as well. Down the sides are laser straight with
all the body lines and trim flowing seamlessly from front to back.
This body is showcased in the base coat clear coat paint that was
done in factory optioned Fiesta Red Color. The paint has a stunning
finish as countless hours were spent wet sanding, buffing, and
polishing it. We can also see that it features the White
convertible top that was redone at the time of the restoration. It
is a power-top option, and the top frame is excellent as well. The
white is a beautiful complement to the fiesta red paint, and it
comes with a red boot cover for when the top is down. All the
chrome and stainless on this Ford has a brilliant finish. Both the
front and rear bumpers are excellent and feature bumper guards. To
finish off the look it's sitting on the 15" wheels with correct
wire wheel covers and a set of G78-15 Coker wide white tires.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Sunliner. On the inside,
it's done in a two-tone red and white color scheme that flows
perfectly with the exterior color combo. It features red bolster
seats with white quilted vinyl inserts. Both the front and rear
bench seats are in phenomenal condition with the padding, springs,
and covers appearing to have been redone at the time of the
restoration. It also has had a new carpet installed at the time of
the resto. The sill plates were both replaced as well. Looking at
the dash we can see that it was redone in the red and white paint
scheme and that it has a beautiful finish as well. The factory
gauges are in great condition and are working as they should. This
'56 comes with a factory-styled steering wheel and horn button.
Inside the trunk is all rock solid from the pans to the jam and it
has been finished out with the factory-style jack and the plaid
trunk mat.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Ford. Under the hood,
we can see everything has beautiful detail and has been finished
out just as beautifully as the rest of the car. The V8 has been
upgraded to a 289 V8 that's set up with the Edelbrock Intake and a
Holley Four Barrel Carb. It's been dressed out with chrome valve
covers and air cleaner. We can see it is equipped with a mechanical
fan to keep it cool while you cruise. It's also been upgraded with
Power Brakes. The 289 is mated to the C4 Automatic Transmission and
the original style rear end with approximately a 3.22 gear. When we
look under this Sunliner we can see they did an excellent job with
the frame off restoration. The floor pans and frame are all solid
and have a gorgeous detail. All new fuel and brake lines were
installed along with new body bushings. The suspension is all in
great condition and looks to have had new bushings installed at the
time of the restoration along with new shocks. If you're looking
for a quality convertible that's ready to enjoy then you don't want
to miss this one!
