1955 Ford Thunderbird

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is honored to list this sleek black 1955 Ford Thunderbird. The first year of the baby bird series for the 1955, '56,'57, body style and one of the most iconic Thunderbirds produced to this day. This 1955 Ford Thunderbird deserves a closer look! With around 89k miles on its numbers matching and original drivetrain, this hot rod Ford is ready to be driven and enjoyed. As you walk around this car you will be impressed at the condition of the body and paint job that shines beautifully! This car was originally black from the factory but did get a repaint about 15 years ago. The wheel wells are filled with classic styled white wall tires and chrome hub caps that gives it more of a classic look. Inside the black and white vinyl interior looks great and provides a comfortable ride. Turn the key on the 292 cubic inch V8 and enjoy shifting through the gears with this 3-speed manual transmission! This Thunderbird also comes with a Tan soft top that folds back behind the rear seat when not in use as well as a hard top painted to match the rest of the car. If you are looking for a first-generation Thunderbird that you can show off at a car show while also not being afraid to drive it this is an excellent option for you! This is claimed to be a 3rd owner car and the 2nd owner had it for almost 50 years! Many features have been upgraded or completed to maintain the drivability of this car. For example; the wiring has been upgraded to the 12-volt system, newer alternator and wiring harness were installed, the lights and even back up lights have been changed, fuel pump replaced, battery with kill switch, a 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor with an electric choke has been added, the seals have been replaced, a new gas tank, brakes, shocks, exhaust tips, and universal joints.
