Must sell my TOYS because of recent heart attack,owners age (73 years old), and lack of enough good health to properly maintain my treasures I will be selling several cars and boats soon so be sure and view my other items. LOW,LOW,LOW...RESERVE! Miles are correct,according to previous owner. Due to the car sitting in a garage for several years before my purchase, I had the engine removed and rebuilt by a professional mechanic with all new parts except the original crank, camshaft,and block; all of which were checked and cleaned. My next restoration step was to have all the original paint removed by hand {not media blasted}, repainted the original 1955 thunderbird red, then clear coated , all with Duponts best materials. I have many pictures taken during this process.This is a very solid car as can be seen by the views of the trunk area and under the hood. There were a couple of small half dollar sized holes near the driverside petals which were repaired with metal plates during the restoration process. The car has four new COKER TIRE wide whitewalls with 0 miles on them. After the motor was reinstalled the car was painstakingly detailed and new orignial type carpet was installed.The car was then brought by rollback to my basement for safe keeping......Then I had the health problems and with a heavy heart, must sell. Car is for sell in Continent USA Only..As always, transportation is the responsiblilty of the buyer. Car is sold as is...A 2000.00 dollar PAYPAL deposit is due within 48 hours of purchase. NO EXCEPTIONS.....NO SCAMMERS........All non-payers will be reported. I am too old and tired to play games. Please check my previous sales record with ebay alll POSTIVE feedbacks......As you can see by the pictures, car has the original hard top and I also have the convertible top (white in color) which will need vinyl replaced before showing.Fender skirts in trunk The lucky buyer will get as good a 1955 T Bird as I could make it and I had no intentions of ever selling it until fate caused the health problems and I had to make life changes. Thanks and good luck with your bidding.
