I first purchased this little 56 T Bird from a collector in Northern California, in the 1990’s. I performed some work on the car, then ended up selling the T Bird to another collector in Prestige Neighborhood of Highland Park in Dallas, Texas. He performed some cosmetic work and drove the car around town. He decided to sell down his collection, and sold the Bird back to me, this was the last car he sold out of his collection.
Since regaining ownership for the second time, the following improvements have been made:
✔ Electric primer fuel pump installed for easy cold starts
✔ Resealed rear main seal & transmission pan gasket
✔ Complete brake system overhaul
✔ Dash restoration – all functions now operational
✔ Undercarriage power washed, painted, and detailed
This rust-free, climate-preserved, and well-maintained Thunderbird boasts a solid body and smooth performance. The engine runs strong, making it a fantastic driver. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history in such exceptional condition.
Interested buyers are highly encouraged to view the car in person. A lift is available for inspection, and test drives can be arranged.
