roadster with a fully finished and matching hardtop� � Many people
have tried to remake Ford's class 1950s Thunderbird Coupe but most
of these attempts become lost in translation. MotoeXotica Classic
Cars, however, found one that speaks to you loud and clear. We are
proud to offer this 1955 "Thundersnake" edition of Ford's venerable
two-seater. This is a ultra high quality show car that is super
fresh and downright sinister! Just as clean on the underside as it
is on top. Engine bay and the interior are immaculate and ready for
any national car show! The striking body that was built by Customs
Unlimited of Ohio is both elegant and bold. The deep blue and
silver paint and trim pieces are in excellent condition. It has a
handmade rear panel and the rear peak is extended. It also has a
hand-made lower roll pan, grille and Frenched taillights. The door
handles have been removed and the gas filler lid filled. The front
and rear bumpers have been turned upside down and molded into the
body. The driving lights have been Frenched, as has the grille
surround. The car's glass panels are clear and intact, the custom
lights look great off and brilliant when on. The engine bay and
trunk are both extremely tidy. Thundersnake is powered by a
powerful but modern 4.6L Mustang Cobra motor breathing through dual
exhausts and is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. It has
a nine-bolt Ford differential and rides on an Art Morrison 2�4 tube
chassis. The wheels are E.T. Classic five-spokes, surrounded by
BFGoodrich radials, 225/60R15 in front and 255/50ZR17 in rear and
the bumpers look great. This is a true roadster with a fully
finished hardtop, no softtop. It is sure to impress both young and
old alike! The color is deep and rich, the fit and finish is show
quality and everything is as professional as it comes with custom
hot rods! The silver interior sparkles and features a hand-built
console with Dakota Digital gauges and Flaming River steering
column and three-spoke wheel. The silver seats are in very good
order and were made by Glide Engineering. The carpeting is in good
order and a plush headliner rests above the driver's head. It has
hand-machined dashboard, door and console inserts. There is a
hidden audio system by Horizon Audio. The result is a one-off
custom Ford Thunderbird that retains the look and feel of the
original Thunderbird but brings it forward with tasteful updates
and modern power under the hood. This car is currently located at
our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. It is sold as is, where is, on
a clean and clear, not actual mileage, exempt title. GET OUT AND
