Vehicle Description

**Offers Welcomed**

Rare factory 3-speed manual transmission, 1st-year production Ford Thunderbird.

Possibly the most beautiful, cleanest specimen of this American icon on the market today; one that will reward you with years of happy motoring and warm compliments from strangers wherever you go.

Even the undercarriage is spotless and 100% free of rust, dirt or road grime (see undercarriage photos).

SOME HISTORY:

1-owner and less than 1,000 miles since nut and bolt restoration performed by worldwide known outfit in 2016.

Ostensibly more money invested during restoration than current asking price.

Relocated to Florida and stored in climate controlled garage since restoration was completed.

COSMETICS:

Fantastic, show car with virtually flawless and glossy paint, like-new chrome, crystal clear glass, like-new two-tone interior and new matching soft top.

Dashboard is impeccable and matches the equally clean vinyl seats and door panels. Carpeting is free of stains, rips or odors and it is covered by period correct Thunderbird rubber floormats.

Absolutely NO rust anywhere on this T-bird. (see undercarriage photos).

MECHANICALS:

In addition to being a beautiful machine, this 1955 T-Bird is also a reliable driver. It starts right up and easily keeps up with modern traffic. Recent preventive and maintenance service completed in May of 2021 included:

• New battery.
• Rebuilt carburetor.
• Fresh fluids and filters.
• New starting solenoid.
• New starter motor.

A few imperfections are noted below:

• Minor paint cracks around gas cap (trunk area; see photos).
• Factory stereo does not work.
• Tachometer works but needle's head broke off (see photo).
• Gas gauge shows "empty" even when full.

PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE INCLUDES:

• Factory spare wheel and tire.
• Custom fit car cover.
• Recent service history.
