Background Story of this 1955 Ford Thunderbird

Overview of 1955 Ford Thunderbird For Sale by Owner

The '50s Thunderbird is a love letter to classic American car design. One look and you're smitten with its charm and good looks.

With a reported 4,000 miles on its clock, this 50s beauty sports an aggressive design and spicy performance that is bound to take your weekend plans up a notch.

Exterior and Interior

At first glance, this 1955 Ford Thunderbird with its black exterior may look factory, but look closer and that is not the case. The exterior color contributes to its new and refreshed aggression and tones down on the chrome components, you also get a custom black convertible top to match and a set of 18” mag wheels that serve as this machines shoes. The usual 50s thunderbird interior cabin is one that's filled with a whole lot of luxury and 50s charm, make no mistake, the two tone black and white interior cabin has all that and more. Step inside and you will find subtle and tasty upgrades that take form with an upgraded steering wheel, Hurst gear shifter, and a set of upgraded gauges to keep track of this machine's blistering performance.

Engine

The aggressive looks weren't the only change up in this 1955 Ford Thunderbird personality; peel apart the tuned-up styling, and what you will find is also improved performance that is bound to raise eyebrows. Pop open the hood of this custom ’50s American classic, and what you will find in place is not a '50s motor geared to get by, but a fire-breathing 427ci Side Oiler Cobra Motor. The massive upgrade in performance is not the only trick up this classic sleeve. Look closer, and you will find upgraded custom 427 Valve covers, air filter, and air filter housing. In true classic American fashion, this powerhouse channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a four-speed Borgwarner manual transmission that ensures smooth gear shifts and the ability to increase performance if need be.
