www.brightonmotorsports.com 1955 Ford Thunderbird Project Car Brighton Motorsports is pleased to present this 1955 Ford Thunderbird project car, in original Thunderbird Blue (Turquoise) over Turquoise/White interior. The restoration was halted by the owner for reasons unrelated to the car. This is a great opportunity to acquire a project car that is ready for assembly and completion. In addition to acquiring this car and a clean title, you can see from the photos that there is a nice assortment of trim and parts that you’ll need to finish the project. Much of the difficult and expensive work has been completed – such as the majority of the bodywork and paint. The paint only needs some minor final attention to be done. Many of the parts included can be used in the assembly of the car as is, but some will need to be reconditioned or replaced, and still others are not included that you’ll have to source and purchase. The good news is that restoration, replacement and reproduction parts for these cars are widely available. The engine and transmission are believed to be original to this car. Please look very closely at the photographs as everything that is included in the purchase is shown in these photographs – if you don’t see something in these photo’s – we don’t have it and it is not included. The chassis, frame, and body show zero rust at all, and all of the suspension/driveline pieces are in place. Underside looks as nice as the top - painted in body color. The car is at a state of completion where you get to decide how far or extensive or complete or correct you want the finished product to be. If you’d prefer a reasonably nice driver – or all the way up to a show-quality car – or something in between – the choice of the completion level and budget is up to you.
