This is an original unrestored 1955 Thunderbird which still has most of its original Raven black paint with the exception of the left front fender which at some point was worked on. It appears that all the sheet metal is still its original, The floors and trunk are really rust free, It spent its life in Idaho and Texas.I have some interesting paperwork that takes it back to day one of ownership,registrations, warranty paperwork. It had been sitting for years prior to my purchasing it. It has its original engine and drivetrain, 292 cu, in V-8, with three speed manual transmission. It has 81,761 miles. I have installed a complete reproduction fuel system which includes fuel tank, straps, gas cap, preformed fuel lines, rubber hoses, and fuel filter. The engine runs nice. Prior to my ownership the car has been converted to 12v. This car should have the complete brake system gone through and will definitely need new tires prior to being driven safely since they are decades old Firestone. This is a hard top only car. The top is in need of repair with some damage. It was caused when someone moved the car without securing it.
