Vehicle Detail
1956 Exquisite T-Bird Conv 312 V8, w/Hardtop, Head Turner, Great Driving Machine We proudly present this gorgeous 1956 Thunderbird Hardtop Convertible. This classic automobile was a show car for many years. The current owner, tired of the car shows, decided to use the car as a second car and drives it about three days a week. He has owned this vehicle about 15 years. Originally designed as a "Personal Luxury Car" to compete with the newly introduced Corvette, the T-Bird outsold the Corvette in 1956 23 to 1. There were only 15,600 produced. The 312 OVH V8 engine, along with the Four Barrel Carbs, make this car explosive. This car features Overdrive, New Tires, New Battery, AM/FM, Dual Exhausts, Continental Kit, Power Steering, and Power Brakes. Also comes with a Hard Top and Soft Car Cover for Storage. It was repainted around 1993. The color is unique. It is called Peacock Blue, however, it is a bolder color than the original Peacock Blue and much more striking. The mirror is a third party mirror. The heater and clock are not working at the moment (living in Florida, this was not a priority). The car will probably require a gasket as there are a few oil drops (about 6 per week) beneath the engine. The body is great condition. There are a few nicks (please see photos). There is a small crack on the side of the hardtop, and a couple of nicks on the top. This car runs great and is a real looker. It would not take very much to turn it back into a show vehicle. This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the world's most classic vehicles. Once it's gone....it's gone forever..... Thank you for your Consideration..............
