Vehicle description
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird convertible is powered by its rebuilt original 312ci V8 engine paired with the original automatic transmission. The powertrain was rebuilt as part of a documented 2.5-year restoration and retains factory specifications. The chassis and suspension remain configured to original Thunderbird standards. Stopping is handled by factory-style power-assisted braking components. Exterior features include Raven Black paint, factory-style chrome trim, Continental kit, fender skirts, window wings, factory-type wire wheels, Goodyear whitewall radial tires meeting original equipment specifications, a factory porthole hardtop and a replacement deluxe black canvas soft-top. The black and white interior features power seats, power windows, factory instrumentation and a Town & Country radio. Other notable features include factory power steering and Ford-type air conditioning. All work on this T-Bird was performed by certified ASE-licensed professionals with supervision by a Classic Thunderbird Club International senior judge. The restoration, which was thoroughly photographed and documented, matches the data plate and the car's original invoice, which is included with the sale. This Thunderbird had recent maintenance performed in 2025 by Abramson Automotive in Mesa, AZ.
