1955 FORD THUNDERBIRD BARN FIND SURVIVOR, HOT ROD, STREET ROD PROJECT OR RAT ROD

Description for Ford Thunderbird 1955

1955 FORD THUNDERBIRD

HAS BOTH TOPS, UNS AND DRIVES. WAS FOUND IN A KANSAS GARAGE WITH STUFFED PACKED ALL AROUND IT. IT HAD NOT RAN IN YEARS. A NEW FUEL TANK WAS INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. THE BRAKE SHOES, HEEL CYLINDERS, ND BRAKE HOSES WERE REPLACED. THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDS REPLACING ALSO (NEEDS TO BE PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR A GOOD PEDAL).

CAR HAS A 292 V8 WITH 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANS. ALL LOOKS TO BE FACTORY ORIGINAL.

FRAME IS SOLID WITH SURFACE RUST ONLY. BOTTOM OF DOORS ARE GOOD. LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE PAST ON THE RIGHT QUARTER PANEL AND FRONT END. A BAD BODYMAN GOT A HOLD OF IT AND JUST APPLIED ALOT OF BONDO WITHOUT PULLING THE DENTS FIRST. WILL HAVE TO STRIP IT DOWN AND START OVER (UNLESS YOUR GOING FOR A RAT ROD THEME). FRONT FLOOR PANS HAVE SOME RUST BUT TRUNK LOOKS PRETTY SOLID. WILL NEED A COUPLE OF FLOOR BRACES, HE REST LOOKS GOOD. ENLARGE THE PICTURES AND LOOK CLOSE AT THEM. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES IS WHAT YOU GET. THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR THE CAR.

HAS NEW SPEEDO LENS, BUMPER BRACE ANDSOME BUMPERBOLTS. SOME MISSING PARTS INCLUDE HOOD LATCHES, OOR PANELS, OOR GLASSES, ASSENGER DOOR HANDLES, NDSOME TRIM-ETC.

COMES WITH AN EXTRA SET OF 14" STEEL WHEELS.

THIS IS A PERFECT FOUNDATION FOR A CUSTOM BUILD. HOT ROD, AT ROD, R WHATEVER. MOST OF THESE CARS ARE RESTORED TO FACTORY. NOT AS MANY CUSTOM BIRDS OUT THERE.

THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY OF THIS 60 YEAR OLD CAR BEST, UT FEEL FREE TO CALL AND ASK QUESTIONS IF I HAVN'T COVERED THEM IN THE DESCRIPTION. THANKS, IKE 479-238-1122 OR 479-228-4304
