1955 FORD THUNDERBIRD292 V8AUTO TRANSMISSIONGOOD TIRESHARDTOP55,000 ORIGINAL MILES (STATED ON TITLE)POWER SEATSPOWER WINDOWS THE BODY ON THIS CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED APROX. 20 YEARS AGO AND HAS HELD UP WELL. IT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR NICKS AND CHIPS HERE AND THERE. THERE ARE A FEW CHIPS ON THE FRONT WERE THE HOOD TOUCHED THE BODY WHEN BEING OPENED. THERE IS A SMALL BUBBLE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ONE DOOR. THE HARDTOP HAS AN AREA WHERE THE PAINT HAS CRACKED. IT IS ABOUT 1 1/2 INCHES LONG . THE PAINT IS STILL VERY SHINY AND SMOOTH. IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FOR THE AGE OF THE PAINT JOB. I CAN SEE WHERE THERE HAS BEEN SOME BODY WORK PREVIOUSLY DONE. IT HAS HAD SOME REPAIRS TO THE INNER ROCKERS, AND ALSO THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME MINOR REPAIRS. THE TRUNK IS VERY SOLID OVERALL. IT HAS ALSO HAD A FEW MINOR REPAIRS. THE CHROME AND STAINLESS ARE IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. THE BUMPERS ARE SOLID AND LOOK PRETTY GOOD, BUT DO NEED POLISHED. THERE ARE SMALL SPOTS ON THEM. ALL OF THE STAINLESS IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE TRIM AROUND THE GRILL OPENING IS OFF OF SOME OF THE CLIPS AND NEEDS REATTACHED. THE CHROME AROUND THE PASS REAR TAILPIPE IS WORE OFF IN A FEW PLACES. FOR THE MOST PART IT IS ALL IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THE MINOR FLAWS. THE TIRES HAVE GOOD TREAD AND ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THEY DO HAVE VERY MINOR CHECKING IN A FEW SMALL PLACES. THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE OVERALL. THE CARPET IS GOOD, THE SEATS HAVE NO RIPS OR TEARS AND THE DASH IS IN NICE SHAPE. THE INTERIOR IS EITHER ORIGINAL IN EXC SHAPE FOR THE YEAR OR IT IS A REPLACEMENT WITH SOME NORMAL WEAR. THE DOOR PANELS ARE DECENT, BUT THE POWER SWITCHES ON THE DOORS ARE A LITTLE LOOSE. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 292 V8 AND AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE CAR LAST YEAR HAD A NEW BATTERY, VOLTAGE REGULATOR, FUEL PUMP, WIRES, CAP, ROTOR, POINTS, AND CONDENSOR. IT HAD A REBUILT GENERATOR AND THE CARB WAS REBUILT. THE CAR RAN FINE AND I DROVE IT AROUND LOCALLY. I DROVE IT ONE DAY AND IT RAN AND DROVE EXCELLENT. IT THEN DEVELOPED A PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IT DID NOT RUN CORRECTLY. THE CAR DID NOT OVERHEAT. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THEY ALL FEEL IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL SYSTEM. THE CAR DID FIRE UP, BUT IT RAN VERY ROUGH. THE CAR WAS IN STORAGE FOR YEARS. WE ADDED MORE GAS BUT DID NOT DRAIN THE TANK. I BELIEVE IT PULLED CORROSION OR DEBRIS THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WAS ADVISED BY A THUNDERBIRD ENTHUSIAST THAT THE CARBS ON THESE ARE VERY SENSITIVE. HE FELT THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE. I DID NOT TAKE IT OFF, AND THE CAR HAS SAT EVER SINCE. I LOST INTEREST AND HAVE OTHER PROJECTS GOING ON SO I DECIDED TO SELL IT AS IS AND TAKE THE LOSS. THE CAR DID RUN FINE, SO I FEEL IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING SIMPLE. I AM SELLING THE CAR IN AN *AS-IS CONDITION*, HOWEVER IT WILL RUN, JUST ROUGH. THIS A VERY COMPLETE CAR. IT IS ALL THERE AND WITH A LITTLE WORK WOULD MAKE A VERY NICE DRIVER. IT IS ALSO A CANDIDATE TO TAKE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO BE CHASING DOWN A LOT OF PARTS. THIS IS A CAR THAT WILL ONLY APPRECIATE AND WOULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR SOMEONE. I FEEL THE CAR HAS A VERY REASONABLE RESERVE FOR THE CONDITION OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL PA AND AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION ANYTIME. WILL ACCEPT CASH, WIRE, ANY TYPE OF CERTIFIED FUNDS. WILL ACCEPT PAYPAL IF BUYER PAYS ALL ASSOCIATED FEES. WOULD LIKE $2000 DOWN IN 3 DAYS AND BALANCE PRIOR TO PICKUP. THANKS FOR LOOKING
