This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is a non-running project that has been fitted with a replacement 302ci V8 and four-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes front disc brakes, Borgeson power steering components, a light blue hardtop, and chrome bumpers. This Thunderbird was purchased by the seller in 1976 and is offered at no reserve with spare parts and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

An assortment of spare parts is included in the sale.

The exterior was stripped to bare metal and refinished with primer in 2008. A light blue hardtop with porthole windows is installed, and additional features include rear fender skirts, hooded headlights, and chrome bumpers.

The 15″ wheels are mounted with a mixed set of tires that the seller recommends replacing. The car is equipped with front disc brakes and Borgeson power steering components.

The bench seat is trimmed in white upholstery. Photos depicting the condition of interior surfaces are provided in the gallery. The seller notes the power seat needs work and rust in the trunk floor has been repaired.
