Vehicle Detail

YOU ARE VIEWING ONE OF THE BEST UNRESTORED ORIGINAL SURVIVOR 1956 FORD THUNDERBIRDS EXHISTING IN THE WORLD TODAY. FIRST LET ME SAY, ORIGINAL AND SURVIVOR ARE TWO OF THE MOST OVER USED AND OVER STATED DESCRIPTIONS IN THE OLD CAR WORLD TODAY.....BUT NOT IN THIS CASE...AND I DO KNOW THEIR ACTUAL MEANING HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN THE COLLECTOR CAR WORLD FOR NEARLY 45 YEARS. THE CAR WAS SOLD NEW IN 1956 TO A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE PRODUCER BY BEVERLY HILLS FORD CO. WHO KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE SELLING IT TO MRS. DORIS SANDORE OF WEST LOS ANGELES.....I THEN PURCHASED FROM HER IN 1986 AND SOLD IT TO AN AVID COLLECTOR WHO KEPT IT THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING IT LESS THAN 2,000 MILES UNTIL I REPURCHASED IT AGAIN SOME 30 YEARS LATER. I AM NOW GOING TO SELL THE CAR AGAIN, SADLY, DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS, HAVING NOTHING TO DUE WITH THE CAR ITSELF. THIS BUCKSKIN TAN/COLONIAL WHITE (PINK) THUNDERBIRD HAS EVERY POSSIBLE OPTION AVAILABLE IN 1956 INCLUDING FULL POWER AND BOTH TOPS, (SEE ORIGINAL FACTORY INVOICE), WITH EVERTHING IN PROPER WORKING ORDER, INCLUDING RADIO AND CLOCK. LIFETIME SILICONE BRAKES AND STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM INSTALLED TO HELP WITH STORAGE LONGAVITY. THE ORIGINAL 1956 FACTORY TIRES HAVE BEEN RETAINED OVER THE YEARS AND ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE!! ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT BULBS, WIPER BLADES AND ON AND ON IT GOES. THE BODY IS UNTOUCHED FROM NEW INCLUDING THE FACTORY APPLIED PAINT WITH ORIGINAL PANEL FIT AND FINISH BEING VERY GOOD FOR A 1950'S BUILT CAR, AND THE PASSAGE OF TIME. CHROME AND BRIGHT WORK ARE EXCELLENT. INTERIOR IS ALSO FACTORY INSTALLED ORIGINAL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A CORRECT REPLACEMENT SEAT COVER INSTALLED 28 YEARS AGO....CARPET, HEADLINER, DASH, ETC. ARE MINT. MILEAGE IS LOW @ 61K ACTUAL, BUT COULD PASS FOR 15K LOOKING AT THE CAR. BEST UNRESTORED 60 YR. OLD VEHICLE YOU WILL EVER FIND.........THEY CAN ONLY BE ORIGINAL ONCE, AND NOBODY DOES IT LIKE THE FACTORY....RESTORED CARS ARE NOT THE SAME AND A DIME A DOZEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME AND $ ARE SPENT. INSPECTIONS ARE POSSIBLE AND ENCOURGED TO APPRICATE THE ORIGINALLY AND CONDITION OF THIS THUNDERBIRD. SERIOUS BIDDERS/BUYERS ONLY, IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACKS OR ANY NON-PAYING VIOLATIONS, PLEASE MOVE ON. THE PRICE IS FIRM AND WORTH EVERY PENNY...NOT A FINACIALLY MOTIVATED SALE. THANKS.
