Overview of 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible For Sale by Owner

In 1955, Ford sent out a reminder to the world that sporty, good-looking cars were still a part of their expertise by producing the Thunderbird. The Thunderbird was the auto giant's first two-seater since 1938. Ford called it a 'personal car of distinction,' which, put simply, means that this car and anyone who dared to own it were unique. This first-generation 1956 Ford Thunderbird is currently with its 3rd owner in Florida and has been garage-kept its entire life. The sale includes all original documentation.

Exterior and Interior

This 1956 Ford Thunderbird comes in what ford calls 'Fiesta Red'. More trunk space was added for this model, with the spare wheel mounted outside and the exhaust tips moved to the bumpers' ends. Our subject car comes with a white soft-top with the hard-top included in the sale. Also included are all new rubber, new brakes with new hoses and wheel cylinders in the rear, new control arms and swaybar bushings, and four new shocks. The car also has back-up light housing and a functioning overdrive for better fuel efficiency, new steel gas lines from front to rear, a new window regulator, and a factory jack included. The interior is color-matched to blend in with the outside of the car except for a few contrasting white accents that highlight the car's retro aspect. The interior lights are reportedly operational, gauge needles repainted, and a custom aftermarket radio system has been installed.

Engine

The most impressive aspect of this Thunderbird is its detailed engine bay housing the 312ci 5.1L Y-block engine with a refreshed carb and generator. All fluids have been changed, valves adjusted and tuned, and all new lines under the car replaced. A 3-speed standard manual transmission controls power.

1932 Ford Model 40 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

Current Ask
$74,700

This 1932 Ford Model 40 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is an all-steel, heavily customized build that combines authentic early-Ford architecture with the unmistakable performance character of a 1969 Corvette-sourced 427ci Big-Block Chevrolet V8. Showing approximately 6,977 miles, the car was conceived as a one-of-one creation rather than a conventional street rod, with virtually every major component selected or engineered around its distinctive combination of vintage Henry Ford steel and big-block Chevrolet power. Its all-steel 1932 Ford 5-window body has been given a dramatic 4-inch roof chop, producing the low, aggressive profile at the heart of the build, while the fenderless front end, exposed suspension, deep-dish Cragar S/S wheels, front skinnies, and substantial rear performance rubber reinforce its traditional hot-rod attitude. Beneath the body is a custom fully boxed aftermarket frame designed to cope with the torque of the 427, backed by a heavy-duty TH400 automatic and Ford 9-inch rear axle. According to the seller, the car has also received significant publicity and attracted attention from collectors, further separating it from the typical home-built street rod.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.

Its specification includes the 5.0L High-Output V8, 4-speed AOD automatic, Traction-Lok limited-slip differential, GT lower body aero package, front air dam with integrated fog lights, rear decklid spoiler, and 15-inch turbine-style aluminum wheels. The red bodyside accent stripe ties directly into the vivid interior, while a JVC audio head unit adds a small modern update. It is a classic late-1980s Mustang configuration with plenty of visual attitude and the V8 character enthusiasts expect from a Fox-body GT.
