Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1956 Ford Thunderbird. It was restored in 2013 and comes powered by a P-code 312ci V8 connected to a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Thunderbird Green and equipped with a white convertible top over a White and Green vinyl interior, this first-generation Thunderbird is now offered by the selling dealer with a Colonial White hardtop and clear title.
The Thunderbird Green exterior features chrome bumpers and trim, rear fender skirts, and a continental kit. The passenger compartment can be covered with either the white soft top or the Colonial White hardtop that comes with the purchase of the vehicle.
This Thunderbird rides on a set of 15-inch wheels wrapped in 6.70-15 Goodyear Super Cushion Deluxe whitewall tires.
Inside, there’s a White and Green vinyl bench seat and the convenience of power steering, a clock, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo.
Vehicle information is displayed on a 150-mph speedometer, 5,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the coolant temperature and fuel level. The odometer shows 26,975 miles, but it may have rolled over; the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
Under the hood is a P-code Thunderbird Special 312ci V8 that was factory-rated at 225 horsepower. It is equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and delivers its output to the road through a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. The selling dealer states this vehicle received new fluids and an inspection in May 2024.
Suspension hardware includes an independent front setup and rear leaf springs. The engine breathes through a dual exhaust system with outlets integrated into the rear bumper.
