Vehicle Detail

This is one of the rarest colors ever produced, this color was only offered in 1956 and less than 4% of total tbird production was this color. I will put this bird next to any bird in the country' I have owned this tbird for almost 35 years. Car has hard and soft top, power steering and power brahes .Right after i bought it with a little over 60,000 miles on it I moved out of the country and put it in storage where it remained for over 25 years.. took it out of storage and gave it to a professional restorer for a complete frame off rotisserie restoration. Frame was powder coated and car was completely rust proofed. with stainless steel exhaust.. Restoration took over 3 years.Car was restored as a 50th wedding anniversary present for my wife, she died suddenly after our anniversary and never got to drive it. Car was put back in storage where it has remained except for starting it once a month and driving it around the block. In the time I have owned it I have driven it about 1000 miles, In 2011 car was shown at the international Thunderbird club nationals at Charleston S.C. where it won its senior class receiving 148 out of 150 points the only time it has ever been shown. Car has 2 tops , power brakes and power steering. radio and clock both work. Car does not have a scratch or a pimple on it. Car is currently in Washington Georgia not in Tempe AZ where i also have a home. I am the third owner and have original window sticker, owners manual and all repair manuals. Car has repro battery and reproduction tires .Car was originally sold by an Alabama dealer to a Florida resident. had the name of original owner but have since misplaced it Car is only for sale because I am 80 years old and would like to see it go to someone that would appreciate it as i do..As I said, this bird is a museum quality restoration.My phone is 480 940 0261 My name is Bill Any questions please call. Since I have owned it ,car has been registered only 1 year. Car has original 1956 Florida lic. The underside looks as good as the topside
