Description for Ford Thunderbird 1956

Hello to all eBayers!I have been with eBay for several years and I want to keep my reputation here 100% positive. I am a private collector, who has endless passion for classic cars and trucks. 90% of the vehicles have been rented out to movies commercials or high-class parties. Right now, I'm liquidating my collection since I'm selling my warehouse. Are you an old vehicles connoisseur looking for classic/vintage vehicles without having to pay luxury prices? You are in the... right place! I know that magic feeling when the right quality meets the right price, so I sell my vehicles worldwide at the most reasonable prices. I bought this vehicle with the intention of bringing it to California to add to my collection.This 1956 FORD THUNDERBIRD is located in a Copart facility in 11409 PENROSE STREET, SUN VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 91352 . I tried to sell it on Copart, but this vehicle is a classic, clean title vehicle. You can buy this vehicle on Ebay or through Copart by becoming a member. This vehicle has a clear Hawaii Title. If you need to get a CA title for this vehicle, I can help you with that for an additional fee.1956 FORD THUNDERBIRD CONVERTIBLEFor the 1956 model, more trunk space was added, the spare wheel was mounted outside (which helped free up trunk space), the exhausts were moved to the ends of the bumper, and air vents were added behind the front wheels to improve cabin ventilation. To improve rear-quarter visibility with the removable hardtop in place, "porthole" windows were available as a no-cost option. An optional 312 cu in (5.1 L) Y-block V8 was added as an option. 1956 production was 15,631 units, the lowest of all three 2-seater Thunderbird model years.MechanicalThis is a driver quality Thunderbird that runs and drives but the car has been sitting for a while in a dry warehouse so will need some tune up. The engine and transmission are both very healthy. Transmission is 3 speed manual and the clutch works good.Exterior The exterior is presentable but then again this is a driver quality car not a perfect car. The body, frame, floors, trunk are all very solid and clean as you can see in the photos. Body panels are nice and straight. The chrome is presentable, both bumpers are straight with no major dents or dings. The top is in great condition. InteriorThe interior is very complete. The seat and door panels have been redone and look great. The dash is discolored but it's in great shape and crack free. Floor carpet is good just needs a nice detail. Overall this car is in great condition and ready for new home.THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN THIS GREAT CLASSIC!Please note, I want to make sure that you are absolutely satisfied with your purchase.
