Rebuilt engine: new valves, hardened seats, guides, pistons/rings, crank grind and polish, new intake valve springs, main bearings and new engine gasket kit. Repainted and resurfaced intake manifold. All new wheel cylinders, hoses and master cylinders. New brakes and shocks. Rebuilt carburetor. Completely new exhaust. New gas tank. New aluminum radiator. New battery. 4 new tires with wide white walls. Rear fender skirts.
Additional details:
Original Red & White vinyl bench seat. Automatic transmission. Chrome bumpers. Dual exhaust outlets that exit through bumperettes. Tan soft top. Two-spoke large steering wheel. Original radio, tachometer and analog clock (works)! Original interior, all lights operable. Owner manuals included. Five-digit odometer indicates 58,981 miles with approximately 300 miles of current ownership. Clean MN title in owner’s name.
1955 was the first year for the Ford Thunderbird with only 16,155 produced. Drive away and cruise like it’s 1955!
