1955 Ford Thunderbird

MEET BETH A 1955 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLE THAT COMES WITH AN AFTER MARKET REMOVEABLE HARD TOP WITH THE FAMOUS PORT HOLE WINDOWS ( NOT PICTURED DUE TO EBAY PIC LIMITS BUT HAVE MORE PICTURES IF REQUESTED). THE CAR HAS A CLEAN CLEAR TEXAS TITLE AND HAS BEEN OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR TECHNICIAN FOR OVER 15 YEARS.

THE VEHICLE WAS CREME COLOR WHEN BUILT AND WAS REPAINTED NOT RESTORED ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO AND STILL SHINES LIKE NEW AS IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE PURCHASED. THE ENTIRE TOP MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES AND CANVAS COMPLETE WITH THE PROPER PLASTIC BACK WINDOW WERE ALL REPLACED AT A COST OF $5000. 00.

THIS IS A NUMBERS MATCHING VEHICLE AND HAS THE ORIGINAL 292 V8 ENGINE AND 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MANUAL STEERING. MANUAL 4 WHEEL DRUM BRAKE SYSTEMS AS ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPDATED FROM 6 VOLT SYSTEM TO A MORE MODERN 12 VOLT SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WORKS. THE IGNITION SYSTEM HAS THE ORIGINAL DISTIBUTOR BUT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH SOLID STATE ELECTRONIC IGNITION. THE FACTORY T-POT 2 BARREL CARBURETOR AND OIL BATH AIR BREATHER COME WITH THE CAR BUT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A HOLLY 2 BARRELL AND AFTERMARKET AIR CLEANER THAT MADE IT PERFORM WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.

THE CAR DOES HAVE SOME UNDER BODY RUST IN THE LOWER FLOOR PANS (SEE PICTURES/ I HAVE MORE PICTURES IF REQUESTED) BUT THEY ARE STILL VERY SOLID AND COULD BE REPLACED IF YOU WANTED TO DO A FRAME OFF RESTORATION BUT IS DEFINETLY NOT A MUST EVEN TO SHOW AS I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE 55 T-BIRDS LISTED WITH THE SAME SIMILAR RUST.   THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DID SUFFER SOME RODENT DAMAGE AS PICTURED WHEN IT WAS STORED IN THE GARAGE WITH THE TOP DOWN BUT COULD ALSO BE REPAIRED AT A FRACTION OF WHAT THE TOP COST TO BE REPLACED PREVIOUSLY. THE CAR IS NEAR  SHOW QUALITY AS IS.  FOR  A  62 YEAR OLD CAR IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD EVEN AS COMPARED WITH A LOT OF THE OTHER 55 T-BIRDS YOU MAY FIND AVAILABLE.

I AM LISTING THIS CAR FOR A VERY CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS ONLY SELLING IT TO MAKE ROOM FOR A 31 MERCURY HE JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED SINCE HE HAS WAY TOO MANY TOYS AND NEEDS THE GARAGE ROOM. I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE LISTNG FROM START TO FINISH AND WILL ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS EITHER BY EBAY EMAIL AND OR BY PHONE AT 832-473-1245. PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO ASK  PRIOR TO BIDDING AND BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR FUNDS IN ORDER FIRST AS THERE IS NO FINANCING AVAILABLE THROUGH US. I WILL ASSIST YOU WITH PICK UP OR SHIPPING THROUGH YOUR CHOICE OF SHIPPER AT YOUR EXPENSE.   YOU MAY TAKE NOTICE OF MY PERFECT EBAY FEEDBACK SCORE BEING AT 100% SINCE 2010 AND I INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY SO YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE.  

 THERE IS A $1000. 00 DEPOSIT DUE VIA PAYPAL WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION ENDING AND FULL PAYMENT IS DUE BY EITHER CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK AND FULL PAYMENT CLEARING  PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING RELEASED FOR PICK UP OR SHIPPING NO EXCEPTIONS. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STORED FOR YOU FOR UP TO 2 WEEKS AFTER PAYMENT IF NECESSARY TO MAKE PICK UP ARRANGEMENTS.

WE HAVE RELISTED THIS VEHICLE DUE TO A NO-SALE AND HAVE CHANGED THE FORMAT OF THE AUCTION TO AN OPEN AUCTION STARTING AT $100 WITH A RESERVE AND WITH A LOWERED EXPECTATION  OBVIOUSLY. I ALSO ADDED A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE AFTER MARKET HARD TOP. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A 62 YEAR OLD CAR WITH A 12 YEAR OLD REPAINT THAT IS VERY GOOD QUALITY AND STILL HAS LOTS OF SHINE BUT DOES HAVE SOME IMPERFECTIONS AND COUPLE OF CHIPS AROUND THE HOOD CLOSING AREA. THE HARD TOP HAS ALSO BEEN REPAINTED AND HAS SOME IMPERFECTIONS IN IT AS WELL AS IT WAS IN STORAGE FOR 15 YEARS.   THE BACK AND PORT HOLE WINDOWS ARE ALL TINTED BUT DO HAVE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE DONE THE BEST I CAN TO REPRESENT THIS VEHICLE AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY DETAILED PICTURES I WILL BE HAPPY TO EMAIL THEM TO YOU.

THIS IS A VERY NICE 55 NOW BEING OFFERED ON AN OPEN AUCTION FORMAT WITH A REASONABLE RESERVE. THANKS FOR LOOKING A GOOD LUCK BIDDING YOUR JUST 1 WINNING BID AWAY FROM OWNING THIS PIECE OF AMERICAN BUILT HISTORY.
