For Sale: 1956 Ford Thunderbird in Abington, Massachusetts

Vehicle Description

Beautifully restored car with some very nice upgrades! Restored to be driven. 

Factory Colonial White car with correct and numbers matching red and white, two tone interior. Optional 312 V8 with an automatic transmission. Factory power steering, brakes AND WINDOWS! A matching removable  porthole window hardtop. This car is not equipped with a soft top. A fully restored car at some point within the past 10-20 years. Upgrades include FRONT DISC BRAKES, VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONING and SNIPER II EFI. Also the generator has been converted to an alternator. This car was very obviously restored for daily duty in Palm Beach Florida which is were the car came from. 

Beautiful chrome, paint and trim. The interior is a 9 out of 10. So little to complain about but there are a few small issues....

The EFI is not completely sorted. The car starts and runs extremely well and cruises comfortably but when trying to accelerate, the car fumbles to find fuel. Someone with some Sniper knowledge could surely sort that out or, if you'd like, it could be converted back to a four barrel carburator which is readily available. It's all up to you. Also, the brakes function and are very useable but I find the peddle to be a little too hard so some brake bleed is possibly necessary. All in all a very nice car with great bones that is not in any need of any kind of restoration work but will need some sorting out. Not a 100% roadworthy car as it sits but could be without too much fuss, we believe. We just have too much inventory here. Too many projects in line. We are pricing this to sell. Well below Hagerty and Old Cars Price Guide. Also below what the T-Bird aficionados have appraised it at. We are not completely firm on the ask. We want it to go to the right home. Call or message us.
