This baby bird(1955), is the first year for the thunderbird and this car has never been restored. It is mostly complete and original. It does run and lot drives. The brakes are down on it from years of sitting. The car needs the restoration that has been started---finished! Most all the outside body work has been completed and the body is strait. The interior is original and only missing the door panels. The only other thing missing that I am aware of is the wiper assemblies. The interior deffinately needs restored. The tires on the car are older and Bias-Ply. they do hold air and are wide whites.The engine sound good and does not seem to smoke. There are no leaks that I can see in the cooling system. The front floor boards have had fiberglass cloth put over them and can be finished as is or have new pans installed. They are readily available and cheap. The windshield is new along with the rubber. Both the door glasses are also new. I have a good Tn. Title in my name for the car. This car is believed to be a three owner car(including myself). It belonged to a lady school teacher for more than 30 to 40 years. She passed away in 2011. The car was bought from her estate. This car is sold where is, as is. There is absolutely "NO" warranty-expressed or implied, of any kind. All sales are final , no returns and no refunds. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements. I will assist in any reasonable way that I can. You are encouraged to personally inspect the car prior to making a bid on the car or have a representative inspect it for you(at you own expense)! Ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid on the car. If you bid, you bid to own "NOT COME AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT". These ebay auctions are expensive and not to be taken as a lightly. If you have less than 5 ebay feedback ratting, please contact me prior to bidding or "I WILL DELETE YOUR BID"! You can call (765)413-4411 for further information. This vehicle is listed in other mediums and may be sold and removed from ebay at anytime. This car is being sold with a low and reasonable reserve and should be affordable to anyone wanting to get into a first generation thunderbird.On Jun-05-14 at 10:21:32 PDT, seller added the following information: This is a revision to the above general condition of this car. In an effort to be as honest and forthright as possible, I re-examined the car, started it today and ran it. I did a little further examination of the car and this is what I can see. The statement that there are no coolant leaks was unintentionally wrong---it didn't leak last summer--I put coolant in it today and it definitely does leak and will probably have to have the radiator repaired or replaced. It does leak and appears to be the original one. The car does start and run on a gas can as the tank is dry and should be removed and cleaned from years of sitting. This vehicle should be considered a running project car. It is not something that you can get into and drive off with without attention. The brakes are definitely down due to wheel cylinders having leaked down. The engine does run good with no unusual noises,but I suspect it has never been rebuilt. Please keep this in mind when considering the condition and age of the car. I did find the original carburetor breather and some of the trim. There may be minor small parts such as door and window handles missing. There is no convertible top with the car. The hardtop is in overall good condition, with the original headliner in place, however it will need minor Re-finish work in a couple of spots before painting. I do have (some) spare parts that I have purchased to do the restoration with and they will go with the car. some parts are very rare and like new. Please feel free to call me with any serious questions and concerns or whatever you might be interested in discussing about this vehicle. I am very easy to get along with and I am open to discussion. I am an honest person and would not intentionally lie or fabricate this cars condition. Thank you.
