This 1955 Ford Thunderbird underwent a three-year refurbishment that was completed in 1992 and spent time in Maryland before it was acquired by the seller in Florida in 2020. The refurbishment included a repaint in black, recovering the black and white vinyl seats, replating the chrome trim, and replacing the black soft top. Power is provided by a 292ci V8 paired with a rebuilt three-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes a body-color hardtop, chrome wire wheels, whitewall tires, air conditioning, a fire extinguisher, and an aftermarket Thunderbird stereo.
The refurbishment included a repaint in black, replating the chrome trim, and replacing the black soft top. Features include a hood scoop, Thunderbird badging, and exhaust outlets integrated into the rear overriders.
Chrome wire wheels wear simulated knockoffs and are mounted with whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes, which the seller notes were serviced approximately six months ago. An additional set of steel wheels and chrome wire hubcaps are included in the sale.
The cabin features a bench seat reupholstered in black vinyl with pleated white inserts as well as engine-turned dashboard and door panel accents. Equipment includes air conditioning, an analog clock, and an aftermarket Thunderbird stereo. A fire extinguisher is mounted in the trunk.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 17k miles.
The 292ci Y-block V8 features Thunderbird-branded valve covers and was factory rated at 193 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Service in April 2021 reportedly included servicing the carburetor and replacing the fuel tank.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission that was rebuilt during the refurbishment.
Manufacturer’s literature, service records, and refurbishment invoices will accompany the car.
